Launched in May 2024, "Help Brazil" provided immediate assistance by delivering food, clothing, and drinking water to areas affected by the floods in Rio Grande do Sul in coordination with Movimento União BR. Further committed to sustainable recovery, SOFTSWISS partnered with PWTech and funded water purification facilities in affected schools to ensure long-term access to clean water.
