What began in the 70s with a simple street kitchen has developed over the last 40 years into the Usthi Foundation with over 13 projects in which more than 2,500 children participate every year.

We take 40 years of commitment as an opportunity to toast to what we have achieved together with our faithful donors and Usthi friends. We cordially invite you!

Preparations for this year’s project trip to India are currently in full swing. As every year, the Usthi Team Switzerland travels to India in autumn to visit all the projects and exchange ideas with the project partners on site. Our office will therefore be closed from 24 October to 19 November. During this time, we can only be reached via email at hello@usthi.ch.

Even if the preparation requires some working hours, we are always looking forward to the trip to India. We regularly exchange ideas with our project partners via email and Skype – but nothing replaces the direct and personal exchange on site. Together with the partner we reflect on the current year and plan the budget for the coming year. In the luggage we bring along many new insights and exciting experiences, but above all one thing: a huge portion of motivation to continue to work for the Usthi children!

The Usthi Foundation in Rapperswil-Jona celebrated its 40th anniversary. The anniversary was marked by a special premiere: for the first time, a documentary film was shown which impressively records the Foundation’s work. The visitors were delighted.
