OUR APPROACH
Support in the communities
The Foundation always relies on the existing skills and
talents in the communities. It focuses its efforts on enhancing
the existing social and creative capital in communities,
without trying to replace it. We work together with local
representatives to develop skills and help the community
detect its needs by itself. Changes come about from the
inside, taking into account internal capacities and working
based on the local situation.
Local leaders
By providing the locations with the knowledge, skills and
opportunities for community-based organisation required to
improve their living conditions, the Foundation gives them
tools to resolve their difficulties and get involved as active
members of society. Development is therefore the result
of a process of integration in which, rather than being
passive recipients of programmes, the residents effectively
participate in solving their problems and those of their
community.
