Comundo supports children, young people and elderly people in improving their living conditions in a long-term and self-determined manner. This is done in cooperation with selected local partner organisations that are active in areas such as education, health, human rights and democracy, environment or food security.

Focusing on the following sustainable development goals (SDGs)

How we work

Comundo combines the know-how and professional experience of Swiss professionals working as co-workers in selected partner organisations on site in the Global South. They use their expertise to strengthen structures and networks in the thematic areas and to build up know-how. The realities, experiences and potentials of the partner organisations form the basis of all assignments. In this way, ownership remains with the local partners.

... and why

What if the right to a healthy and intact life no longer applies? What if problems such as lack of access to food or education cannot be solved by the people themselves? With our co-workers, we build a bridge from the North to the South to tackle global challenges together. Comundo initates help for self-help and promotes more responsible action in Switzerland with returned co-workers.
