Do you know the group NØ MERCY from Glarus? NØ MERCY is a small group of teenagers and young adults that we didn’t know before. Nevertheless, Markus Bütler and Sascha Tankerville received a check worth CHF 4050 on 23.03.2015. Thank you very much for your support!
The group NØ MERCY regularly organizes parties for young people at the Holästei cultural center in Glarus. Once a year, the party is dedicated to a special cause: donations are collected for an aid project. The last charity event was dedicated to our Ebli project in Tanzania. On this evening, 4050 francs were collected, which were handed over to us two weeks ago (23.03.2015). We would like to thank everyone involved for their support!
Young and committed people with a migration background
At the heart of NØ MERCY are two young adults: Elmir Duljaj and Lobsang Tenzin. Until now, they had supported projects with NØ MERCY that corresponded to their own migration backgrounds. Last time, however, they decided to donate to a project that supports young people in particular. At the time, they were not yet familiar with terre des hommes schweiz.
Project with Ebli found online
They found our project with partner organization Ebli in Tanzania online. Ebli supports girls and young women in becoming aware of their rights and protecting themselves from unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases. The two organizers particularly liked the fact that young women are being supported.
Spenden Hilft
Through NØ MERCY’s contribution, 52 young people receive intensive support and guidance (e.g. education or health care) and 850 young people are reached indirectly at schools and in communities through awareness-raising campaigns.
Many thanks to everyone involved
We at terre des hommes schweiz are delighted that these two dedicated young people have chosen our Ebli project. Many thanks to all the young donors and especially to Elmir Duljaj and Lobsang Tenzin.
Our project with Ebli in Tanzania:
Girls and young women in Tanzania often do not know how to protect themselves against unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases. As society puts them at a financial, social and legal disadvantage, many are unaware of their rights. Our partner organization Ebli supports girls and young women in finding a self-determined approach to their own sexuality and their bodies. Economic prospects are worked out together so that the girls do not fall into false dependencies.
