Philanthropy

After a tenure as the CEO and primary shareholder of Heyde AG, an information technology company, Sonja established The DEAR Foundation Switzerland in 2006. This foundation financially supports humanitarian projects worldwide, focusing on assisting individuals in vulnerable situations, particularly women and children. The foundation has a broad portfolio of topics across 5 continents, including education, health, child protection, the promotion of women's rights, poverty alleviation, economic empowerment, and the promotion of peaceful coexistence between religions.

DearMamma Campaign

After losing a close friend to breast cancer in 2006, Sonja became interested in raising awareness among women about the importance of regular self-examinations. Her efforts resulted in several foundation initiatives, including sponsoring an annual run, offering a free mobile app (iOS/Android) to help women with self-examinations, introducing a pink tram, and creating a documentary that tells the stories of women living with breast cancer from various backgrounds in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
