Our mission is to fight the root causes of poverty, in Africa and the Middle East, by supporting projects focusing on four core areas of work.
We believe that, together, Health, Education, Community development and the Environment are essential to sustainable development. Our projects take a holistic approach and are anchored in local communities ensuring that actions are relevant and viable for the long-term.
Education / Health
Nurturing Opportunities for Women
The project will train 1,000 women from the Kono District, in basic financial literacy, household financial management, effective savings techniques, and business skills, including conducting market surveys and calculating profit.
Education
Bringing coding to schools
The project will provide support to two schools, in Lebanon, to level up their tech education offering through training and coaching for school teachers on delivering coding, robotics, and AI classes for 240 disadvantaged children aged 11-14.
Health / Community Development
Freedom of mobility for amputees
The project will provide comprehensive prosthetic care to 50 low-income amputees in Uganda, facilitating their mobility, employment opportunities, and psychological well-being. The amputees will receive a Circleg prosthetic. The Circleg prosthetic system is one of a kind, it is designed specifically for the needs of amputees and prosthetists in low and middle income countries.
Community Development / Environment
Sustainable development of two rural communities
The project aims to sustainably improve the health, nutrition and livelihoods of two rural communities, in Lohene and Keur Mandongo, using environmentally appropriate technology. CREATE! will use culturally and environmentally adapted methods and further expand its proven model of integrated community development.
We have been supporting projects run by non-profit organisations since 1996, with the aim of helping poor communities in Africa and the Middle East to sustainably rise out of poverty.
The Foundation accepts proposals at all times of the year. Selected projects are submitted to the Foundation’s Board, which meets 3 times per year. We thank you for your interest in the Foundation and invite you to submit your request.
