This site is dedicated to Edmond Kaiser, 1914-2000,
founder of the Swiss humanitarian organisations “Terre des
hommes” and “Sentinelles” and, in particular,
to those who continue to pursue his work at the noma centres at
Zinder, Niger, and other African countries. “Sentinelles”
was created in 1980 and is dedicated to combatting the “destruction
of innocence” in the world, especially the sexual mutilation,
prostitution and slavery of children in developing countries,
and including those who are excluded by disfigurement such as
noma.
We thank the healthcare workers and the administration
of the University of Geneva Hospitals for their dedication to
patient care and logistic support in the field of humanitarian
medicine.
We gratefully acknowledge the support and encouragement
of Gertrude Hirzel of the Hirzel Foundation. |
