On December 2 and 3, 2016, our untiring helpers from the Usthi family were on the road in Rapperswil and Jona with the Christmas stand. With a cup of tea and a piece of cake one could learn about the news of our foundation, spend some time with the Usthi family and buy some Christmas presents. The solidarity with the Usthi children was incredibly generous: around CHF 1,800 have been raised over the two days! Thank you very much!
At the same time, we received other important donations from private and public sources in December, which we are already using in January directly for our education and health projects in India. Your donations enable us to expand a program that is very close to our hearts: At the beginning of 2017 we will open another women’s home in Hyderabad for 10 victims of sexual violence. Here young women find refuge from exploitation and abuse. In the new home they receive medical and psychological care, training and preparation for a life of freedom and independence.
Your support makes it possible. Thank you very much for your solidarity!
We wish you a happy and successful end of the current year and a wonderful start into a great new year!
Your Usthi Team
