More information
Bread for all is the Development Service of the Protestant Churches in Switzerland. Bread for all empowers people in Asia, Latin America and Africa to free themselves from poverty and dependency and it motivates people in the North to commit to a fairer world. We empower people to build sustainable livelihoods through over 350 development projects and programs in 50 countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa. Through our yearly ecumenical campaign in cooperation with the Swiss Catholic Lenten Fund, we contribute to motivate people to push for a fairer world and to act in solidarity for the community. We advocate for international social, political and economical structures that provide the framework for a fair and sustainable development process worldwide. Our main concerns are the right to food, sustainable development and climate change, fair trade, corporate social and environmental responsibility, fair international finance. The involvement of Bread for all is based on the conviction that poverty and misery can only be overcome if all people can assert the rights they are entitled to: civil and political rights, gender equality, rights to education, to health, to food, to an intact environment, to peace.
