« Why private development aid is more efficient »

While the Swiss government development agency is reducing its activities in certain areas of the world and focuses on cluster regions, the question arises as to how and which extent private development aid is going to be able to replace the governmental development aid where needed.

As an example of the above, “The DEAR Foundation” based in Zurich/Switzerland, is proud to present its “DearMamma” campaign to reach one billion women worldwide to create awareness concerning the fatal illness breast cancer. The project consists of a documentary film and the world’s first breast cancer app for illiterate women as of today available in six languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Hebrew).

The project was launched in the fall of 2018 in Zurich, followed by a successful inception in the pilot countries Israel/Palestine, Ethiopia and Burkina Faso. After having reached over one million women globally, the DEAR Foundation is proud to present you with the first positive results.
