"Several years spent working abroad have taught me one thing: local communities are not merely the recipients of solutions – they are the main actors. They possess the knowledge, experience, and capacity to develop appropriate responses to the challenges they face. My role is, above all, to listen to them and create the conditions for their initiatives to flourish. It is this conviction that motivates me to work at SWISSAID."

«Sustainability and equal opportunities are two core values for me. I am pleased that I can make a small contribution to a more sustainable and fairer world with my work at SWISSAID.»

"I dream of a world where solidarity, self-determination, and generosity shape our way of living together. Through my work at SWISSAID, I want to make my small contribution to making this dream a reality."

"I am particularly sensitive to gender equality. I grew up in a matriarchy. For generations, women in my family made the decisions and managed the resources. I can't imagine a life without freedom and resources of my own. I want to help make empowerment a reality for all women around the world."

"I am mainly involved with the tenth SWISSAID country, Team Switzerland. I have met incredible people in this team: committed, motivated, uniquely tolerant, humorous and amiable. A team that challenges me every day and for which I gladly give my best!"

"Whether in Asia, Africa or Latin America – project visits are incredibly inspiring. It is a constant reminder to me of how SWISSAID's work makes change towards a socially and ecologically sustainable future possible."

"I have always felt connected to our world. It is therefore of great concern to me that all people obtain the same opportunities and that we live in a healthy environment. If these two factors are aligned, we will all have a better life. SWISSAID is an opportunity for me to play my part in this."
