Mission 21
Mission 21 sends out a message of hope for a fairer world. All across the globe, we are committed to promoting peace, improving education and healthcare, and combating poverty – especially for women; and we also carry out educational work in Switzerland. As an international institution with a long-term development cooperation programme, we are striving to attain the United Nations sustainable development goals. We are involved in over 100 projects spanning 20 countries throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America, in collaboration with more than 70 partner churches and partner organisations.

Education for women
Even as a little girl, Claudia Parqui had to work hard at home and, unlike her brothers, was rarely allowed to go to school. Others also determined her life as an adult. Thanks to the basic courses of Mission 21 she can read, write and calculate today. She is now a recognised expert on farm animals throughout the region. Claudia is now more independent, knows her rights and resists injustice. ► More info
