Annual Report 2016

Usthi Foundation published the Annual Report 2016 in July 2017. The current annual report 2016 was published in July 2017 and is available to everyone free of charge.

The Annual Report summarises the activities of Usthi Foundation in Switzerland and India. 2016 was a eventful year and togetter we have achieved a lot!

Reconstruction after the earth quakes in Nepal was completed successfully at the end of August 2016. In addition, we provided schooling for over 1’600 children. 886 youths completed on of our professional trainings. Furthermore, we offered housing and protected 77 children from becoming victims to child trafficking and abuse. Finally, we reached more than 19’000 people with our prevention campaigns on human trafficking.

This year, the layout of the Annual Report was fundamentally revised and its structure adjusted. However, the projects as well as the fundamental values of Usthi Foundation remain unchanged. We support children and youths in need in order to grant them access to education and health care. For 40 years Usthi has been active in India and supporting those in needs. Our activites and programmes are only made possible through your faithful support. Thank you!

Further details about our projects and the 40 years anniversary can be found in the Annual Report 2016. We wish you a good read!
