Support the MissionOur Beginning
Returning to Switzerland, she made a bold decision: sell everything, return to South Africa, and dedicate her life to fighting hunger. She trained in bread-baking and began serving in the townships.
Over time, the mission grew through volunteers, local partnerships, and faith—ensuring help reaches people with dignity and love.
