A strong friendship forged in school and the desire to bring our diverse skills together are the driving forces behind the association’s work.
One day in Nicaragua, an opportunity arose during a meeting with a dedicated teacher who asked us to help the community rebuild the “La Esperanza” school. This project was such a success, that in 1996 we decided to create a nonprofit association called MOST, registered with the Geneva Commercial Registry. The association is recognized as a public benefit organization and is therefore tax-exempt.

The association has established the following operating criteria:
○ Active and voluntary participation by communities in the implementation of their projects.
○ No turnkey projects delivered to beneficiaries.
○ Securing project funding.
○ Direct supervision of implementation and regular monitoring of projects.
○ Maintaining a close-knit atmosphere by limiting the number of association members.

So far, we have:

1. built 12 schools
2. renovated 1 school
3. created 2 classrooms
4. provided a small solar power station
5. provided ongoing support and given a helping hand to several students to enable them to pursue an higher education
6. funded an after-school program
7. supported the development of a physical therapy program
8. built a vocational training center
9. and, on an ad hoc basis, supported orphanages and local organizations in the field of education.
