We firmly believe in the power of helping people to help themselves. That is why we support sustainable projects in Cambodia and Kenya that offer local people the opportunity to lead a self-determined and independent life.
Poverty comes in many forms, but the challenges are often similar. For this reason, we focus in both countries on providing education and specific skills that will open up career prospects for children when they reach adulthood.
The WeCare-Association is a non-profit and independent association that supports sustainable projects in Kenya and Cambodia and helps people to help themselves. As initiators, we support projects so that they can then be handed over to the local population. Our cooperation is characterized by respect and consideration for the culture, history and customs of the local society.
In 2007, Susanne Riz began holding a bazaar at her home, which developed into an important annual fundraising event. Over 11 years, the bazaar has raised a total of CHF 520,000 for good causes and financed numerous projects in Kenya and Cambodia. In 2016, Susanne Riz and her husband Robert Buchbauer founded the non-profit association “WeCare-Association” in order to professionalize the association’s activities.
Our name – WeCare-Association
The name of our association originated from Barack Obama’s election campaign slogan in 2008. “Yes We Can” became our slogan as we achieved our ambitious goals. After our first visits to Africa, this changed to “We Care”, as we care deeply about the well-being of the people we support and want to help them shape a better future.
With this project, we are providing access to clean water and thus improving the living conditions of the people in Mperrishi.
