On the 2nd of April 2024, the Limmat Foundation celebrates its 50th anniversary since its very first project in Latin America.

Together with the local partner “Promotora de Obras Sociales y de Instrucción Popular” (PROSIP), a program was developed in 1974 to introduce medical assistance in the province of Cañete in Peru. The project involved sending two doctors to the selected region to clarify the personnel and equipment requirements. Afterwards, the necessary personnel and financial resources were procured for the successful implementation of the program.

Until today, the Limmat Foundation frequently supports projects in Latin American countries. One of the current projects is taken place in the province of Lambayeque in Peru, which aims to change the economic and health situation of poor smallholder farming families.

If you are interested to know more about how you can help people in need with a donation or by opening a sub-foundation to finance your own philanthropic projects worldwide, don’t hesitate to contact the Limmat Foundation (limmat@limmat.org). The staff is happy to assist you.
