The Foundation

sahee funds projects aiming at improving the living conditions of underprivileged people in Eswatini and in Peru in a sustainable way. The politically and denominationally neutral foundation was established in 2006.
Sahee supports projects which are in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the UN, sustainabledevelopment.un.org/sdgs. Sahee focuses especially on projects in the fields of Education, Environmental Protection and Health. However, we further maintain a strong focus on supporting projects in sustainable agriculture as they have a direct influence on the two first SDGs: Eradication of Poverty and Hunger.

Principles

sahee means sustainability for agriculture, health, education and environment.

sahee carefully selects its local partners and strives for a long-term cooperation with them. Partners are either regional organisations that are locally well integrated or local groups launching a development project.

sahee supports projects having a limited duration.

sahee promotes rather small projects that envision autonomous continuation – and possibly expansion – by the beneficiaries.

sahee evaluates the supported projects at regular intervals.

sahee follows the principles and recommendations of the «Swiss Foundations Code 2015» and is a member of the umbrella association SwissFoundations.
