Basis

For human rights.

Unser Engagement in der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit basiert auf gegenseitigem Respekt und Verständnis für die Bedürfnisse in Ländern mit niedrigem und mittlerem Einkommen. Durch Schwerpunkte in den Themenbereichen Bildung, Gesundheit, Lebensgrundlagen und Menschenrechte streben wir nach sozialer Gerechtigkeit und verstehen Frieden dabei als verbindendes Prinzip und Grundlage für eine positive Entwicklung. Zusätzlich dazu leisten wir in starken Partnerschaften humanitäre Hilfe in Not- und Krisensituationen. 

Principles

Perspectives that work.

We align our global work with principles that are based on our values and meet the latest standards of international development cooperation. The focus is always clear: the people we work for and with, as well as their sense of hope for the future.

  • Self-help

    We enable personal involvement.

    Our aid projects are always designed to help people to develop their full potential in a self-determined way - even beyond the end of the project.

  • Situational reference

    We provide individual support.

    By working with local partners on-site, we provide high-quality support based on local expertise and at favorable, country-specific conditions. We stay closely connected to the situation and adapt our aid projects flexibly to changing circumstances.

  • Holistic approach

    We provide comprehensive and reliable support.

    Providing access to education is one thing. Ensuring that children can actually attend school because they don’t have to spend all day fetching water is another. That’s why we always take all aspects of life into account.

  • Sustainability

    We focus on long-term impact.

    Where we choose to get involved is a carefully considered decision. We stay on-site as long as needed to ensure the best possible impact. This long-term commitment builds trust and guarantees sustainable results.

  • Cultural connection

    We value all people and their local culture.

    We support all people regardless of their sexual orientation, religion, political views, ethical background or culture. We actively incorporate local cultural conditions into our aid projects in order to work with people, not for them.

Partnerships

Achieving more together.

In verschiedenen Netzwerken engagieren wir uns für einen aktiven Wissens- und Know-how-Transfer und konkrete gegenseitige Unterstützung. Besonders eng sind wir mit der Kooperationsgemeinschaft (KoGe) unterwegs. Als ein Netzwerk von neun gleichgesinnten Organisationen auf der Basis von Glaubens- und Menschenrechten haben wir uns ein gemeinsames Programmziel für 2021 bis 2024 gesetzt: «Wir fördern friedliche, gerechte und integrative Gesellschaften, in denen jede Person ihre Rechte ausübt und ihr Leben in Würde gestaltet.» Dieses KoGe-Programm erhält Programmbeiträge der Direktion für Entwicklung und Zusammenarbeit (DEZA) des Bundes.
