Sobre nosotros
Nouvelle Planète, founded in 1986, is a Swiss non-profit organisation without religious affiliation.
Our work falls into two categories:
• We support the efforts of marginalized rural populations in disadvantaged and remote areas of Africa, Asia, and Latin America, to help themselves and protect their environment.
• We organise solidarity trips that allow people to discover realities that are often perceived as distant and to better understand international solidarity and the global challenges of the rural world.
Our vision
Nouvelle Planète works to build a just and sustainable world, based on respect for all life, where people can live in their homes with dignity, security and in a healthy environment.
Our main objective is to reduce poverty and increase the autonomy and resilience of people living in rural areas.
Our specific objectives
• Improve food, financial, and land security in order to increase the autonomy of populations and give them new perspectives, and face the consequences of climate change.
• Promote the rights of marginalized and vulnerable populations particularly women and indigenous peoples (ethnic minorities), through education, training in appropriate agricultural methods, and access to and strengthening of basic services.
• Protect the environment involving local populations, and seeking the best symbiosis between humans and their environment.
• Raise awareness of international solidarity and the global challenges of the rural world, by providing information to people in Switzerland, organizing solidarity trips, and coordinating volunteer groups.
Our guiding principles:
• We support local initiatives and address the needs of the poorest rural communities.
• We draw on locally available skills and experience, and on our strategic partners in the field.
• We support self-sustaining projects for communities and ensure long-term follow-up.
Project Themes:
• Sustainable agriculture: Food-processing unit, income-generating activities, irrigation systems, market gardening.
• Water, sanitation and hygiene: Water supply systems, toilets, wells.
• Environment: Renewable energies, securing land rights, reforestation, recycling.
• Education: Primary and secondary schools, bilingual and intercultural education.
For other net participants we can offer an expert guidance through trained staff, give an expert opinion, procure expert information and establish new contacts in the field of our work.
