Donation accounting and database
"As many of my relatives live in poorer regions of southern Italy, I am constantly made aware of social injustice on earth, even in Europe. At SWISSAID, I have met people who are passionately committed to the common goal of a just world. It's motivating that I can do my part and thus give something back to the world."
Tobias Palmese
Online-Fundraising & Online-Marketing
"Helping to make the world a little bit better. That is the main motivation for my work at SWISSAID. It's great that I can combine my passion for good content with a meaningful task: Telling the important stories and distributing them appropriately on the various communication channels - with the aim of reaching as many people as possible and showing how we are helping people in need in a concrete way."
Nadine Barcos-Trimaglio
Communication & Content
«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.»
Laila Müller
Private engagement and philanthropy
"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."
Sandra Badertscher
Public fundraising
"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"".
Tobias Ebinger
Institutional partnerships (cantons, municipalities, companies)
"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."
Michael Brücker
Head of Marketing & Fundraising Department
"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."
Sarah Forrer

"It's great to see how many school children make a commitment to a better world every year by selling SWISSAID trinkets!"
Esther Wasem
Trinket Sale
"All right, we're not saving the world. But I am absolutely convinced that the beneficiaries in our projects are given a unique opportunity to make a tangible improvement in their living conditions. Experience shows that they also seize their chance!"
Pia Hiefner-Hug
Information and Fundraising
"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."
Karin Diennet-Schnider
Public Fundraising Suisse romande
"I like working for SWISSAID because I share the same values. It is inspiring to see that our work really makes a difference in the countries where we operate and that the lives of so many women and their families have improved."
Kristina Bodmer
Institutional partnerships (foundations, parishes and associations)
"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."
Amandine Castillo
Institutional partnerships and philanthropy
"Growing up amidst the wealth of our country, I was upset by the injustices in our world at a young age. With my work at SWISSAID, I can stand up for the people who are still suffering from hunger and extreme poverty."
Eliane Beerhalter
Visual Content
"I love writing stories – the digital world offers immense possibilities and plenty of room for creativity. But what we are telling you here is taken straight from life. This honesty, transparency and closeness impressed me from day one at SWISSAID and continues to motivate me to this day."
Melanie Roth
Online Fundraising & Marketing
"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."
