What we do What you can do Who we are English Search DONATE NOW Home What we do Our topics Our Topics and Competences Table of content Our Topics and Competences Helvetas offers services in various areas of development cooperation: Water, rural roads and bridges, sustainable economy, basic and vocational training, governance and peace as well as environment & climate. WASH & Water Governance The most vulnerable communities suffer from dirty and scarce water. Annually we help up to 500,000 people get new access to drinking water and basic sanitation. Bridges & Roads Lack of transport infrastructure makes it impossible for the poor to escape the poverty trap. We help people get better access to markets, schools, and hospitals. Education and Vocational Skills Lack of education perpetuates inequality because poor countries cannot compete economically without a skilled workforce. Voice, Inclusion & Cohesion In many countries where we work, men and women are unable to claim their rights and participate actively in decision-making processes. Private Sector Development Youth need access to reliable, fairly paid jobs to break the cycle of poverty. Helvetas creates partnerships and promotes policies that build more inclusive economies. Climate & Disaster Resilience Every year, we support over 1,000,000 people in adapting to climate change, reducing the risks of disasters, sustainably managing natural resources, and conserving nature. Youth Young people are a tremendous asset, but also a possible threat when denied access to labor markets, services and decision-making. Almost every second unemployed person is aged between 15 and 24. Helvetas provides effective humanitarian aid to help affected communities deal with disasters in focus areas. Humanitarian Response In recent years there has been a global rise in disasters. Earthquakes, droughts, floods and cyclones turn years of development progress to dust overnight. Our Working Principles and Approaches We strive for a fairer world in which everyone can fulfill their basic needs. We support people in taking charge of improving their livelihoods sustainably.
