"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizrens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has - Margarete Mead
At the Foundation, we strive to not only make a difference in the lives of our partners but to also build effective and long lasting relationships with key stakeholders. This ranges from the beneficiaries whose projects we support, to our suppliers with whom we work with, and joint donors on various programmes. We're learnt that collaboration is the key cornerstone for sustainability.

We are investing in education by constructing buildings suitable for learning and training teachers, so that the whole community is involved in managing these common assets.
Through Konbit Pou Chanjman, we want to bring to life the ideas of many organisations that want to get involved in improving the lives of their communities. We have already funded over a hundred projects in areas such as agriculture, fishing and access to water, to name but a few.
As well as customer relations, we build relationships based on human values, mutual support and the involvement of each employee in his or her immediate environment.
