Invitation:

The possibility of making regular and targeted donations to a project without much effort and at the same time being kept informed about its development is something our sponsorship holders enjoy. Some have been doing so for many years. We asked our sponsor Rita Müller from Therwil why they are so committed and why they stay with us.

A good year ago, terre des hommes schweiz presented its new website.

Since the end of apartheid, the question of access to land and redistribution has remained almost unanswered. With the fact that agricultural land has become a globally contested resource, this question has become even more acute. A conference of the Campaign for Debt Relief and Compensation in Southern Africa (KEESA) is dealing with the tension between the right to land and the right to possession in the hands of a few people.
The young people of imagine experienced a special honour last week: With the schappo, the canton of Basel-Stadt honoured their commitment in everyday life for a more open society.
