Projects | Foundation Menschen für Menschen Switzerland

Current projects

Initially, the work of Menschen für Menschen was characterized by the concept of integrated rural development. Measures in the areas of water, education, agriculture, health, women's projects, infrastructure and social issues are linked together in a region. Due to rural exodus and impoverishment in metropolises, the foundation has expanded its work to urban slums.

Completed Projects

Until 2014, the work of people for people was characterized by the concept of integrated rural development. Various predetermined measures from the areas of water, education, agriculture, health, women's projects, infrastructure and social affairs were linked together across an entire region. This made sense and was successful for the poor rural population. However, the needs of people in Ethiopia are changing rapidly today and focusing solely on the rural population is no longer appropriate.

Completed project

Fogera – Climate & Agriculture

Mädchen hält einen Baumsetzling in den Händen

Deforestation in Fogera leads to soil erosion and small harvests. By the end of 2022, we will have planted around one million trees. In the new three-year project phase, we will plant an additional 1.2 million trees together with small farmers. We provide small farmers with improved seeds and productive livestock, impart new knowledge and provide microcredits.
