The Foundation’s selection committee met on May 7.
While 8 new projects were approved, we have, as part of our 3-year support strategy, pursued nearly 75% of the 2018 partnerships.
This year, the Foundation is supporting 31 philanthropic projects in 17 countries in the areas of child protection, the preservation of the environment and cultures, and economic development.
Our overall philanthropy budget is €129,300.
28% of this budget is devoted to new projects and 15% to emergency humanitarian aid.
Last March, the Foundation was able to donate €7,000 to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) following Cyclone Idai on the east coast of Southern Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi.
