Connecting people through cows, indigenous knowledge and a shared respect for life.
Nilam Switzerland brings people together around the care of cows and the knowledge carried through relationships with animals and the land.
We also support Nilam’s ethno-development projects in India, connecting women’s enterprises and indigenous community initiatives with opportunities in Switzerland and beyond.
Through shared experiences, traditional practices, online market connections and cultural exchange, we turn compassion into participation.
Join our community gatherings at Duleten Biohof — Ayurvedic Cuisine every first Friday and Agnihotra Workshops every second Saturday. Meet our cows, learn together and share a moment of gratitude.
In the Indian context, “Dakshina” describes a form of giving or sharing—a donation often offered to teachers, gurus or those in need. It is an act of respect, gratitude and recognition for the knowledge and support one has received. Dakshina goes beyond financial gifts; it is an expression of appreciation for the sharing of knowledge, culture and spiritual values.
How can you help? With your donation you help support our projects. Every gift, however large or small, is invaluable and helps us continue creating positive change in the communities we work with.
