Nouvelle Planete: Solidarity projects and volunteering abroad

Statement

Covid-19

The global pandemic of Covid-19 has repercussions on Nouvelle Planète operations in Switzerland as well as in our countries of intervention. Read the statement which explains the unprecedented measures taken.

Guinea

Health

The global sanitary crisis highlights the importance of quality local medical coverage in order to act rapidly and adequately. A health center is currently being implemented in the village of Kirita.

Madagascar

Water dam

248 families are only waiting for rainfalls to launch the water dam in Ambohitsaratelo. It will irrigate their fields as large as 200 football pitches and double their yields.

Senegal

Sustainable agriculture

A women group can certainly practice market gardening on their land. However, when the groups collaborate and create alliances, they can unleash hidden forces. Have a look at the textbook case in the commune of Djiredji.
