Zau Hkam Kamam
Country Representative in Yangon, Myanmar
"Gender equality is an issue that is particularly close to my heart. I hope that through my work I can actively contribute to the empowerment of women and the effective exercise of their civil, political, economic and social rights."
Silvia Russo
Country Representative in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau
"What particularly touches me about working at SWISSAID is the generosity of the farmers, even though their economic resources are very limited. Their behaviour has taught me to be more humane and to approach my fellow human beings as supportively as possible."
Fernando Zambrano
Co-Country Representative in Quito, Ecuador
"Working in development cooperation is more than a job – it is a choice of lifestyle. We at SWISSAID Ecuador are not just experienced professionals, but above all farmers who support each other and share a love of agro-ecology."
Oscar Quillupangui
Co-Country Representative in Quito, Ecuador
"Through my work at SWISSAID, I have been able to engage intensively with the difficult conditions faced by women and men in rural areas and to recognise their great resilience in the search for solutions. This helps to change the place they live fundamentally for the better."
Walquiria Perez
Country Representative in Bogotá, Colombia
"SWISSAID places human dignity at the heart of all its interventions. This vision and our shared values are my main motivation for working here. Furthermore, there are no hierarchical barriers in our daily work together."
Olivier Ngardouel Mbaïnaïkou
Country Representative in N'Djaména, Chad
"SWISSAID aims to shape a society based on gender equality and traditional agricultural knowledge. It works with NGOs led by local people who share the same vision of society and are committed to and passionate about change."
Kavita Ghandi
Country Representative in Pune, India
"My work at SWISSAID has confirmed to me that the passion, motivation and perseverance of the people involved are essential factors for the success of development projects. In Tanzania, women farmers with a very low level of education prove this every day."
Blaise Burnier
Country Representative in Daressalaam, Tanzania
"I like SWISSAID because it is a learning organisation that adapts to its environment. The experience that impressed me most was in a water project in the municipality of Arzérori. When water gushed out of the ground there despite the difficulties of the terrain, some women and children were moved to tears. They had been waiting for years for this."
Adamou Moussa Abba
Country Representative in Niamey, Niger
"My motivation for working at SWISSAID is that I can help to improve the quality of life of poor and vulnerable families in rural areas. Every day I see how people, especially women, can change themselves and their living environment through access to knowledge and rights."
Lucia Aguirre
Country Representative in Managua, Nicaragua
