Fundraising & Communication

"Global hunger crises, gender inequality, and climate change are interconnected issues. Through my work at SWISSAID, I would like to raise more awareness for the linkages between them."

«By working at SWISSAID, I get the opportunity to make a contribution to sustainable change processes, addressing global challenges such as food security and gender equality. It’s important to me that shaping these developments is a participatory process: the voices of all involved actors and particularly of affected communities matter.»

«As a tourism professional, I've introduced many people to foreign countries and cultures. The beautiful sides, but also the sad ones. Aware of the dark side, I would like to convince people of the hope that a donation to SWISSAID can help. For the people who are not on the sunny side of life.»

«Our projects make a difference in the lives of many vulnerable people. Our work effectively contributes to a just, peaceful and diverse world. I am thrilled to work towards this goal together.»

«Empowering women and young people - these are issues I am committed to, because I am convinced that this is a lever for sustainable change. Change that the world needs more than ever. Winning over foundations and donors who want to make this change possible together with SWISSAID - that's what my heart beats for.»

«Getting people enthusiastic about our projects through direct and personal contact, convincing them of their relevance and impact, and gaining their support is meaningful to me and gives me great pleasure.»

"It is wonderful to see how SWISSAID is committed to helping the disadvantaged people of this world so that they can have a dignified and independent life. And to be able to contribute to this myself as a "little hand" is very inspiring."

"Food sovereignty, solidarity and gender equality are three issues that are particularly close to my heart and they are among SWISSAID's core concerns. In my work, I try to increase the visibility of the many activities that are carried out in the name of hope both here and abroad."

"As a partner of cantons, municipalities and companies, I show how our projects provide effective help for autonomy. We all have a social responsibility and it is only right to give back some of our wealth to the poorest people in the world. We cannot help everyone, but there is an old arab proverb that says: "Help one person and you have helped all mankind"".

"Without our donors, we could not achieve anything. They are the backbone of SWISSAID. They deserve to be treated honestly, transparently and as equals. And that we continually woo them and inspire them with the idea of a fairer world."

"For me, SWISSAID is like a good story: the people behind it are exciting, profound and multi-faceted. The themes are relevant, important and timeless."

"By doing their bit, anyone can change the world. Working for an organisation that helps those most in need is in line with my deep desire to help create a better world where people support and care for each other more."

"I work with foundations, parishes and associations to create hope and prospects together. For me, every partnership is a sign of solidarity in action."

"Eating organic food, regional dishes on the table, equality for women – these are topics which are currently very popular in Switzerland, but which SWISSAID has been working on in the countries of the South for decades. I am convinced that this is the right way to a better future."

"At SWISSAID, I use my creativity and expertise to promote a fairer world – so that even the poorest people can live self-determined lives, free from hunger and violence."

"Giving small farmers the chance to improve their living conditions is the essence of SWISSAID's work. By providing a platform here for the stories of these people, I share local successes and hopes for global change."

"The concerns of women and farmers as well as climate protection through agroecology deserve more attention - at the political level and in the public space. With my work at SWISSAID, I want to make these concerns more widely heard, especially in Switzerland."
