In 2022, 702,000 people in Switzerland were affected by poverty. Among them are an above-average number of single parents and people with little education who are unable to find a new job after losing their job. Unfortunately, 99,000 children are also affected by poverty.

Caritas markets in Switzerland offer people on a tight budget high-quality everyday products that are up to 70% cheaper than in supermarkets.

This service is used, for example, by families on a tight budget who receive supplementary benefits, working poor people, people who have lost their jobs and people for whom the AHV pension is not enough, and many more.

“” However, Caritas Markt Bern, for example, also offers an opportunity to people who want to regain a foothold in working life after a long period of unemployment. The individual and family circumstances of each person can be taken into account,“” says Mr. Daniel Lauper, Sales Manager Markets Bern and Oberland.

The market offers a range of basic foodstuffs such as bread, milk, sugar, flour, oil, pasta and various other items. It also sells fresh fruit and vegetables as well as various hygiene and non-food products.

This means a great deal of financial relief for those affected.

ewimed breast pumps are now a new addition to the range at the Caritas store in Bern, complemented by various accessories such as breastfeeding bustiers, replacement bottles, cooling and transport bags and more.

The Caritas market is also a meeting place that brings people together. With the KulturLegi, those affected can take advantage of heavily discounted leisure, cultural, sporting and educational activities in the canton of Bern and many other places throughout Switzerland. A valuable initiative to counteract exclusion.

“” We are very pleased that we can make a small contribution against poverty in Switzerland and support young mothers with our donation “”, Daniel Urfer, Managing Director, ewimed Switzerland AG.

Salomé Meret Renggli-Kriesi, 37 years old, qualified nursing specialist and single mother, gives us an insight into her multifaceted life in this interview. With a mixture of professional passion and personal fulfillment, she masters her everyday life and shows how important support and recognition are.

About me

My hobbies are traveling, reading and of course my child, who can definitely be considered a kind of hobby 😉. I have been a mommy to a very lively 4-year-old daughter since 2020. I am proud to be a single mom as well as a member of the LGBTIQ+ community. My family and friends play a central role in my life as they give me support and stability in good and bad times.

Full-time

I have been working in cardiothoracic surgery at Lucerne Cantonal Hospital since October 2021. My job as a qualified nurse is both challenging and fulfilling.

Why ewimed?

I got my part-time job at ewimed through a friend who has a similar position in Germany. This job offers me a high degree of freedom, as I can decide for myself when I take on which assignments. This flexibility is invaluable as a single mother. My parents-in-law play a big role by looking after my daughter during my working hours. I really enjoy working at ewimed because the patients are very grateful for my support. The work is varied and also very well paid, which is of course a great benefit for me as a single mother. Another advantage is my friendly, caring and humorous colleagues, such as Michèle Glanzmann and Desirée Schneider, who are always ready to listen to my concerns and support me with technical or administrative questions.

Patient training at ewimed

The training courses for patients and their relatives and the collaboration with Spitex are characterized by openness and a willingness to learn. Our clients are often amazed at the knowledge and skills we bring to the table as product specialists. Trust is essential for patient care. Thanks to ewimed, our patients can stay at home and perform the necessary drainages independently and adapted to their needs and everyday life, often with the support of Spitex. With simple means and clear instructions, I am able to make patients’ lives more comfortable and relieve them of stressful symptoms such as shortness of breath. This effective symptom treatment significantly improves their quality of life. ewimed’s drainage solutions and our support also enable them to act independently within their own four walls – an invaluable advantage over repeated hospital stays and an invaluable asset for many patients

I am very grateful to ewimed for the opportunity to work for them. I enjoy doing this job and feel valued in my work and as a person. My work is seen and recognized by ewimed, something that you unfortunately don’t experience in every institution as a nursing professional.

Salomé Meret Renggli-Kriesi is an impressive example of how professional fulfillment and personal challenges can be successfully mastered. Her commitment and positive attitude are inspiring and show how important recognition and support are in professional and private life.

THANK YOU Salomé! We are honored to have such a great and dedicated young woman on board as part of Team ewimed!
