Independent. Committed. Globally networked.
Helvetas is a leading Swiss organization for development cooperation and humanitarian response – denominationally neutral and politically independent. As an association with a strong membership base in Switzerland, we are committed to a fairer world worldwide. Our sister organizations in the USA and Germany, our membership in Alliance2015, and our sponsorship of Alliance Sud all strengthen our global network.
Our vision
Our vision is of a just world in which all people live self-determined lives in dignity and security, use natural resources sustainably and care for the environment.
Our mission
Helvetas supports disadvantaged people and communities in low- and middle-income countries who want to actively improve their living conditions. Through partnership-based development cooperation, we promote pathways for self-help and create fair opportunities for all. We provide humanitarian aid following disasters and in times of crisis.
We stand up for fundamental rights and strengthen our partners in development policy issues. We combat the root causes of poverty through sustainable projects.
In Switzerland, we are committed to a coherent foreign and economic policy that meets the needs of people in developing and transitional countries.
