Usthi film available online

On the Celebration of the 40th anniversary a film about the Usthi projects was initiated in 2016. The movie is now also available online.

The film shows impressions of the Usthi projects and gives an insight into life in India and the impact of the Usthi Foundation. It was created during a project trip with the participation of the founder Kurt Bürki and the executive director Tanja Lirgg. The movie was produced by axxaris ag.

Usthi would like to thank all donors who make the projects in India possible year by year.
