Team of Project Swiss School System - 2givelife.org

Daniel Mettler

Daniel Mettler grew up as a missionary kid in Indonesia. This helps him understand the difficulties of life in poverty and the challenges organizations have with limited resources and options.

He is a software engineer in Switzerland and manages a small team of developers. He uses this experience to create the processes and structures necessary to manage Swiss School System.

His team also volunteered to develop and sponsor the education platform of Swiss School System. 

Change is real.

These experiences motivated her to complete a master's degree in international development and enabled her to work on projects for the UN and in the renewable energy sector in Asia.
