Purpose

Support of all kinds (especially hospitals, clinics, schools and children) mainly in the Eastern Cape in South Africa.

 

Principles

1. All work for the Swiss Board of Aid is voluntary - all travel, accommodation and other costs are covered by the members of the Swiss Board of Aids themselves.

2. Donations are used exclusively for the effective costs of the projects (e.g. shipment costs of material transport, payments of medical goods, school fees, building material).

3. Administrative work and the like are not compensated and are carried out on a voluntary basis.

4. There is no direct financial support in form of money to the hospital and the community, instead only in the form of goods, work and the like.
