HEKS can look back on a very good financial year 2010. At 61.8 million francs, total income has not been this high since 2005, the year of the great tsunami donations.

In 2010 too, natural disasters (Haiti and Pakistan) have been responsible for the very generous donations. The reconstruction work in Haiti and Pakistan will present an enormous challenge in the coming years. In development cooperation, we were able to give more than 50,000 small farmers access to land in 2010, thereby helping them achieve self-sufficiency.
 
In domestic activities – total income for which rose slightly again in comparison with 2009 – we used almost half of our funds for projects to do with labour integration, intercultural translation and communication and legal advice for asylum seekers. The report contains selected figures for these activities.
