What is a country programme?
At SolidarMed, we’re always talking about country programmes. Perhaps you’ve wondered exactly what they are. This page uses Tanzania as an example to explain how a programme is structured.

From mid-March to around the end of May, a dedicated team is touring in the city of Lucerne to recruit new donors for SolidarMed. We thank them for their valuable and energetic commitment to the people of rural Africa.
From development project to locally-managed business
Since 2012, SolidarMed has been building houses for staff with the support of the Hilti Houndation to provide attractive accommodation at remote healthcare facilities.
