THE PROJECTS WE CARE ABOUT

Community Leadership

Being a community leader is about making your neighbourhood your true playground. If you've always wanted to make your community and the people in it shine, we can help you make your vision a reality through financial support and entrepreneurial coaching. Regardless of age, the Foundation encourages the next generation to become true community leaders.
The Foundation is about living to give back to our neighbors.
Personal growth

A radiant community exists through valued individuals who fill the roles they want to live. Want to join a study program, but can't afford to do so and pay rent at the same time? Maybe we can help! Personal development projects support individuals or groups in the community to grow, develop and equip themselves to make a difference in our region.
The Foundation is the gentle push that you need to shine.
Social inclusion

Social inclusion projects enable people who have challenges, who feel marginalized, who would like to participate in their community, or who have difficulty being themselves to others to develop to their full potential.
The Foundation is the springboard that helps the individual or the community to dive into the beautiful things in life.
