Our Material Relief Foundation is committed to help the poor and the helpless abroad. Since 1994 we collect second hand, but in perfect condition, hospital and school material, organize its transport and, in general free, distribution abroad.
Until the end of 2017 we transported 1’100 tons of material (including 16’200 hospital beds) with a “new” market value of over CHF 400 Mio. The operational cost during these 23 years were below CHF 3Mio. (<1% of the total value of the goods shipped).
Local NGOs receive the materiel (never cash) and its good use is monitored either by the local ambassador of Switzerland or of the Order of Malta.
