NATURA
In Switzerland, and more generally in Europe, we love Latin America for its nature, its hiking, its music, etc.. But we don't know much about its challenges, which Ganydar takes care of.
The NATURA program combines the pleasant (the joy of participating in the protection of the fantastic Latin American nature) with the useful, by helping the vulnerable populations living there, one of the objectives of the Ganydar foundation. Indeed, the protection of nature on the spot creates training and jobs, thus giving perspectives to those that Ganydar supports.
