About us

FAIRMED - formerly Leprosy Relief Emmaus Switzerland - is organized as a foundation and is based in Bern. Our country offices in Cameroon, the Central African Republic, India, Sri Lanka and Nepal are staffed exclusively by local employees.

Six countries - one team

Thanks to our donors, almost 1.8 million people gained access to health last year. And we did this with a small but effective team of just 169 employees - only 21 of whom are based in Switzerland. Get to know us, including our honorary Board of Trustees.

Transparency

Independent Swiss supervisory bodies audit our finances annually and assess our integrity. We carry various seals of approval and certifications, including from the ZEWO Foundation.
