Alice Šáchová – Ambassador Aiducation International Schweiz
Co-Founder Collective63 AG
"My relationship with Aiducation started with the celebrations of my 50th birthday. I wanted to support an organisation, which focuses on education for non-privileged, young people but with the student's performance as key criteria. Aiducation is the perfect fit for this – the concept is convincing and well thought trough, and on top the implemented is fast and pragmatic. The more I see the team and how their ideas are growing and evolving, the more I want to become a partner in their journey and make developing countries a better place from within."
"When it comes to making donations, effectivity and efficiency are crucial to me. I have known Aiducation for several years now and the team as a whole has convinced me of their approach. Every dollar invested in scholarships, is first and foremost invested in positive impact for the student so they can follow their dreams. In addition, there is also positive impact to the society, as students turn into leaders and give back what they have learned to ltheir ocal communities. This is why I am more than happy to support Aiducation.“

“We have been supporting children in Kenya from primary school to university graduation for many years. Once we learned about Aiducation and had the chance to see their work in Kenya we have been very impressed with their professional set-up which is thought through and focusses the efforts on where it creates the highest sustainable impact. We have since teamed up with Aiducation to support and promote this great organization and its concept. It is a blessing for us to share ideas and to implement actions together with people who are doing this wholeheartedly and professionally.“

Cristian Pappone – Ambassador Aiducation International Schweiz
Head Global Banks Managment, Vontobel Asset Management
“Day by day Aiducation creates a sustainable path out of poverty, by awarding scholarships to talented students in developing countries. Education is the only way to give young people in those countries a chance for self-actualisation. Well educated citizen are the basis for economic growth, drop in criminality and increased independence. This is why I am supporting Aiducation not only financially but also actively and with absolute conviction as Ambassador."
Gerald Gonzenbach – Ambassador Aiducation International Schweiz
Chairman Clarmond Investment Solutions Ltd.
“Education is a human right – but developing countries need more than just access to
education. The several years we lived in South Africa led to the conclusion, that successful education is built on three critical pillars: quality, ongoing tutoring during the curriculum,
and sustainability, ultimately requiring the build-up of proprietary educational capabilities
and resources within each country. Aiducation in my opinion contributes in a unique form
and with amazing commitment to all three criteria: It supports access to quality secondary
and ultimately tertiary education, it fosters the success of its pupils with ongoing mentoring,
and it finally it aims to strengthen through its alumni network the commitment and responsibility
of each graduate towards the development of her or his own country.
Ian Roberts – Ambassador Aiducation International Schweiz
Chief Technology Officer at Bühler
“Access to good education is a basic requirement for social and economic
development. In many countries limited access to education serves to
maintain inequality and prevent equitable growth. Aiducation provides smart
but financially disadvantaged children with the opportunity to gain a good
high school education. I am proud to support Aiducation in providing access
to education.“
Managing Director Sales Ahead
“I met Florian, the Co-Founder of Aiducation, many years ago and I was truly inspired by his spirit and enthusiasm of making a difference in the World. Aiducation is an organisation that is trusted, transparent and dedicated to change the World. It has a significant impact on highly talented individuals with a long term, sustainable focus. That is why I am part of the Ambassador team.“
Board member at Fluvia AG, Advisory Board Member of Palatine & Senior Business Adviser at Anthesis Group
Director, Executive MBA Universität Zürich
"Education is the backbone of every society. In a world characterised by change and progress, education plays a crucial role in preparing young people for the challenges of the future. Through education, we can not only open up individual opportunities, but also strengthen society as a whole. In Aiducation's approach, I was convinced by the circular idea: scholarship holders also provide support, either financially or as mentors, after they have successfully entered the profession, thus ensuring sustainability in the system and living the idea of purpose-driven leadership."
Michel Kleisli – Ambassador Aiducation International Schweiz
Owner & CEO AseTechnik AG
“I was looking for the opportunity to support an organisation, which I can trust and identify with in regards to it’s team and long-term goals. The way Aiducation engages its donors and supporters convinced me from the first moment. Although I have been travelling a lot across the world, sub-saharan Africa has not been on my radar so far. Discovering Kenya from various angles has been a real benefit for me offered by Aiducation and I am truly grateful for it.“
Silvio Inderbitzin – Ambassador Aiducation International Schweiz
Investor, Entrepreneur & Board Member in various companies
“My wife and I did have the chance and luck to benefit from the excellent education possibilities in Switzerland. We believe that education is on of the most important requirement for a sustainable development and prosperity of a peoples and society. Aiducation is just exactly putting into practice what we feel has to be done to support not only young bright individuals but thus helping to develop a whole nation over time in a very sustainable way. Therefore, we support Aiducation International financially with our own Foundation and would like to further help by transferring the idea to other potential future supporters as an Amabassdor.“
"In the 21st century, one of the best anti-poverty programs is a world-class education. I am convinced that Aiducation’s approach of providing need-based scholarships to the most talented students, will make a tremendous positive impact. A better education empowers them with the knowledge and tools to break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future for themselves and their country. Having benefitted from exceptional educational opportunity in Switzerland and the USA, I am grateful to serve as an Ambassador for Aiducation’s admirable cause."
"I believe that high-quality education is one of the fundamental prerequisites for successfully dealing with the plethora of challenges humanity is facing. As a scientist whose work has a problem-solving focus, I am acutely aware that our students are our most valuable assets to that end, and that their education does not start, but only continues when they enter university. Meritocratic countries that are able to offer a good education to all socio-economic parts of society, including children from low-income families, from primary school to university and professional colleges, are likely to perform best over the long run. This is why I subscribe very much to the aims activities of Aiducation."
Yves von Ballmoos – Ambassador Aiducation International Schweiz
CEO Furniture Advisory Services GmbH
“During my one week stay at an Aiducation Academy in Malindi in spring 2015 I could personally experience the long term commitment that Aiducation has in Kenya. I met and got to know highly motivated, very willing to learn and highly intelligent young people who eagerly take up the chance offered by Aiducation. I am convinced that improved access to education is a - if not the best - path to offer a solution to the big challenge Africa is facing. Aiducation offers a truly sustainable approach which I happily support with my expertise as well as through financial means here in Switzerland as well as in Africa.“
