Erste Helfer vor Ort

4. August 2025

Noch keine andere Hilfsorganisation ist bis in diesen entlegenen Landstrich weit im Süden Äthiopiens vorgedrungen, sagt unser Co-Geschäftsführer Michael Kesselring im Interview mit Radio Life Channel. Dabei ist die Not im Bezirk Raphe erschreckend. Es mangelt an Essen und dem Zugang zu Wasser, Startkapital und Familienplanung.

About the foundation

Helping people help themselves in one of the poorest countries on earth – this simple but effective principle has been used by Menschen für Menschen Switzerland for the people of Ethiopia for over 30 years. In that time there has been a lot of progress, but a large number of the population still lives in poverty today.
