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.
