The Annual Report 2020 has been published. It offers an insight into the work of the Usthi Foundation and reports on the successes and challenges of the past year.
2020 will long be remembered as the “Covid Year”. The Usthi projects in India and Nepal were also affected by lockdowns and school closures. To address the most urgent need, Usthi distributed food parcels to severely affected families. Usthi schools quickly switched to distance learning so that all children could continue to access education.
There were also some changes in Switzerland. At the beginning of the year, a new Foundation Board was constituted, in the middle of the year Alessandra Grosse took over the management and in September Mirjam Hirzel joined the team as programme coordinator.
We are impressed by the great commitment and flexibility of our partners and overwhelmed by the great solidarity we experienced last year. Our thanks go to all those who make our work in India and Nepal possible year after year. Thank you for being a part of Usthi.
