ConnectSwiss is a registered charity in Switzerland, dedicated to improving the lives of rural communities in Kenya. Our board members run the organization free of charge, and cover all administrative costs, ensuring that 100% of all donations go directly to life-changing projects. To ensure transparency, our accounts are audited annually, and the CVs of our board members are accessible to sponsoring foundations.
We have established local Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in Western Kenya to implement impactful, community-driven projects. These initiatives are led and managed by our dedicated local Kenyan staff, who are directly involved in the communities. Meanwhile, our Swiss-based board members focus on fundraising, as well as monitoring and evaluating project implementation.
At ConnectSwiss, we critically assess each project through a community-centered lens, prioritizing collective impact over individual aid.
Our goal is to support communities in implementing sustainable solutions that, in the long run, can be managed independently by the community itself or the local government.
We recognize the challenges of breaking the cycle of poverty in rural areas and believe that, when guided by local collaboration and supervision, external assistance is a powerful catalyst for change.
