How long has the organization been around and where is it located?

The organization started in March 2020 in Zurich (Switzerland) when the pandemic hit the most vulnerable communities. That’s when we started our Hunger Campaign.

We are a group of individuals spread across the world (from members in USA, Switzerland, India.)
