REHASWISS is a registered Swiss association founded in 1977 by Joseph Aerthott in collaboration with some Swiss friends. The aim of REHASWISS is to support persons with disabilities in developing countries, mainly on the Indian subcontinent. REHASWISS is certified by ZEWO as a charity and has the right to bear the seal since 1988. REHASWISS is a non-political and non-religious organization. With the help of donations, membership contributions, as well as contributions from the Swiss Government, municipalities, religious organizations and other institutions, REHASWISS succeeds in helping around 700 to 1’000 disabled people every year to find a self-supporting job and a decent livelihood. At present, REHASWISS is working in co-operation with 25 NGOs in India and Bangladesh.
