Over the years, COOPI Suisse has been committed to the protection of children, the promotion of renewable energy, the fight against malnutrition and the access to water and food for the most vulnerable communities in 13 countries in the South of the world. 

COOPI had a positive intuition to promote it in 2012. Given the results COOPI Suisse has achieved, COOPI is very proud to have been part to its promotion back then.
