A war like the one in Ukraine impacts far more than the front lines. While fighting continues, civilians endure hardship on many other levels. To support those affected, both the Hilti Foundation and Hilti employees contribute to Doctors Without Borders and to a range of projects aimed at easing the many forms of suffering experienced by people on the ground.

In times of crises, rapid and stable support is of the utmost importance. Our long-standing partner organizations, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, @fire - Internationaler Katastrophenschutz, and Ärzte ohne Grenzen Schweiz / Médecins Sans Frontières Suisse, have been physically on the ground since day one.

The Hilti Foundation, on behalf of the Hilti Group and the Hilti Family set up a solidarity fund with an initial donation of 1M Swiss Francs to our longstanding partner Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

In this episode of In this Case, you will learn more about the Hilti Foundation’s emergency relief program. Join Bea Bättig Staud (Hilti Foundation), Abiy Tamrat (Médecins sans frontières) and Ran Goldstein (Physicians for Human Rights Israel).

A devastating explosion ripped through the port of Beirut in August 2020. Just one day after the disaster, the German aid organization @fire, supported by the Hilti Foundation, arrived on site with their rescue team.
