Philanthropy and partnerships

Responsible, social, sustainable: is this how you would like your customers and colleagues to see you? If so, then supporting a SWISSAID project will benefit you as a foundation, parish or private individual.

You can support small farming families in the fight against hunger, give hope and provide life-saving water by enabling the construction of wells, or create perspectives by specifically promoting and training women and young people. And you will be standing up for disadvantaged minorities – for social justice – for peace. You can contribute to a specific project or finance it in its entirety. Contact us without obligation and we will find the project that best suits your values.
