Projects

Food insecurity is high in the Karamoja region in eastern Uganda. Since 2018, FH Switzerland has been supporting projects in this region with farming families, to enable them to increase their agricultural and livestock production and diversify their sources of income through the development of economic activities.

The Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has the highest number of sexual assaults on women in the world. Dr. Mukwege, winner of the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize, treats female victims of violence at the Panzi hospital in Bukavu. While medical and psychological care is provided, survivors find it extremely difficult to regain their place in the community, and face discrimination.
