The challenges in Africa often have global implications, whether through climate change or economic and political instability. Public institutions can contribute to greater stability and development. By supporting Menschen für Menschen, Swiss communities and cities are actively involved in preventing challenges that can also have a long-term impact on their own citizens.
The commitment shows residents that the community looks beyond its own horizons and is ready to contribute to global welfare goals. This can promote identification with the community and also participation in voluntary work within the community boundaries.
Public institutions receive regular updates and reports from the project areas in order to be able to document the proper use of their support.
