About Fondation Hirondelle
Fondation Hirondelle is a Swiss non-profit organization which provides information to populations faced with crisis, empowering them in their daily lives and as citizens. Founded in 1995 and based in Lausanne, Fondation Hirondelle has created and developed 23 news media in its first 25 years, FM radios, multimedia programmes, or "pure player" websites in 22 countries facing major crises: conflicts, humanitarian disasters, revolutions, climate change, massive human rights violations... Each year, Fondation Hirondelle's teams support more than 500 local media and provide training to more than 500 journalists, technicians and media managers. Through our work, millions of people in war-affected countries, post-conflict areas, humanitarian crises, and societies in democratic transition have access to media that speak to them and give them a voice.
