The association NOMA-HILFE-SCHWEIZ was founded in Kusnacht (Zurich) in July 2005. In September 2005 the association was approved as a member by the International NoNoma Federation and in April 2007 the cantonal tax department of the canton Zurich recognized NOMA-HILFE-SCHWEIZ as a non-profit-Organisation and declared the association as tax-exempt. All donations to NOMA-HILFE-SCHWEIZ are therefore tax deductible in all Swiss cantons.

NOMA-HILFE-SCHWEIZ engages for prevention, alleviation and elimination of the disease supporting all preventive, surgical and nursing measures in the “fight against Noma”. Our activity knows no geographical boundaries.

• Prevention measures in regions affected by Noma, encouragement of local personnel on-site
• Raising awareness on the roots of the disease
• Showing ways on how to  improve the living conditions of the children affected

• Medical on-site treatment of children
• controlled disbursement of antibiotics and general tropical medicine measures
• Surgical intervention in specialized hospitals

• Psychosocial assistance and mentoring of children and their relatives concerned
• Follow-up of children operated
• Financial support of family environment to improve the hygienic conditions

• Raising funds in favor of projects dealing with prevention and treatment of noma
• We team up with medical specialists, individuals and organizations sharing the same objectives
