Your donation will go to the association Amitié Suisse Tchadienne, which will invest 100% of it in the planned projects. No donated funds will be used for advertising, administration, etc.

Your donation will benefit patients in Chad who are treated in the hospitals we support. Additionally, hospital staff will benefit from improved working conditions, and local producers and traders will benefit from the sale of their products and services.

Include your address in the donation note, and you will receive updates on current projects by mail at least twice a year. You can also stay informed about project developments on this website.

Yes. The Amitié Suisse Tchadienne association is tax-exempt and your private donation can be deducted from your taxes.

Long-term partnerships are only entered into with hospitals that were already functioning independently before receiving support from the association and can continue to do so even after the association's assistance ceases. Furthermore, projects are always defined in consultation with various stakeholders, with the question of sustainable investment always being paramount.

If you have donations in kind that you would like to send to Chad, please contact Julian Süsstrunk (email). Medical equipment and supplies, in particular, but also solar systems, generators, medical books (in French), etc., are all worthwhile to send to Chad.

Security cannot be guaranteed in a country like Chad. In particular, the neighboring countries of Nigeria, Sudan, and the Central African Republic are very unstable, and conflicts can easily escalate across borders.However, a rapid deterioration of the situation can never be ruled out. Even in times of crisis, it is worthwhile to invest in hospital infrastructure, as this is precisely when it is most needed. In particular, the hospital in Djamane Mbarissou, due to its geographical location, should not be affected by any conflicts.

The Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs advises against travel to Chad. However, if you would like to visit the hospitals there, you are most welcome and should contact Julian Süsstrunk.

In theory, this is possible without much effort and is highly desirable for hospitals due to the enormous shortage of doctors. The Amitié Suisse Tchadienne association has partner hospitals, and there are several other hospitals of varying sizes and medical specialties to which you can be referred. Please contact Julian Süsstrunk for concrete planning and discussion.

Of course. This country lacks knowledge and experience in many areas. Most professions could theoretically be employed profitably there. Provided they know how to cope with the somewhat challenging living conditions and cultural differences, speak French, and are adaptable, they can bring about a great deal of positive change and have a wonderful experience themselves.
