The last stop of my 6 months of world travel was India. I visited two charities in India, one of which was FICF. One evening, we visited the homes of 3 children in that area who are supported by FICF. I knew about poverty from my other visits but it is always a shock to see how a family of 4 members can live in a small place of about 6 m2 with a corrugated iron sheet. There is almost no trace of safety, cleanliness or privacy, which is unimaginable for a Swiss. Yet these people are striving for a better future for their children and FICF gives them hope and support.
It is overwhelming to see the impact of a donation of CHF 30/month. It impacts almost 3 generations (the children who are thankful to FICF that they can receive a good education, their siblings and their parents) who help break the clutches of poverty and change lives.
CHF 30 a month for us is like an evening at a cinema with popcorn each month. Isn’t it fascinating?
