Purpose and goals of Pas à Pas/
Step by Step/ Schritt für Schritt
Step by Step is a charitable organisation, non-political, non-profit making and confessionally neutral. It is registered as a charitable society (gemeinnütziger Verein) in Switzerland. Its goal is to back chosen projects financially, to help develop, facilitate and support them.
The supported projects focus on the treatment (including assistive equipment) of physical challenges like foot deformities (e.g. clubfoot), amputations and other disablities. We focus on countries with low ressources, where the support through the state is sketchy or incomplete.
Training of staff and continuing development of clinics with this this purpose will also be facilitated. We work with local professionals like physiotherapists, occupational therapists, doctors, nurses and seek to have a professional exchange and learn from each other.
The support should further self-responsibility and allow greatest possible independance.
