Welcome to the NAG team, dear Silvia!
Since January 1, 2025, Silvia Lüthi is a valued member of our NAG team, taking over the responsibilities of Christine Winkler and Rahel Bücheler-Hardmeier in the office. As the primary contact for our donors and sponsorships, she serves as the “administrative backbone” of the NAG Foundation in Switzerland.
Silvia’s connection to NAG dates back over 20 years when she met Nicole Thakuri-Wick and the NAG during a trip to Nepal with her young children. As a mother and midwife, she was deeply moved and inspired by Nicole’s unwavering dedication to the NAG children. Since then, she has remained closely connected to NAG, following its growth and achievement with great respect and admiration.
We are thrilled to have Silvia on board—someone who has long embraced NAG’s mission and values. With her dedication, she actively supports the NAG Foundation in Switzerland and helps ensure the long-term success of Nicole and the entire NAG team.
