Thanks to our partners

While only four people work for Usthi in Switzerland, almost 400 employees are involved in the implementation of the projects in India and Nepal. Without their dedication, the projects wouldn’t be as successfull as they are. Teachers of the schools and professional skills trainings, directors, cooks and house mothers of the children’s and women’s shelters, doctors, health care workers and social workers – each and every one of them makes a valuable contribution to our mission of enabling access to education and health and showing children and young adults a self-determined future.

We would like to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their great cooperation and extraordinary commitment.
