Our mission is to fight the root causes of poverty, in Africa and the Middle East, by supporting projects focusing on four core areas of work.
We believe that, together, Health, Education, Community development and the Environment are essential to sustainable development. Our projects take a holistic approach and are anchored in local communities ensuring that actions are relevant and viable for the long-term.
Education
Education: a right for every child
The project aims to provide quality inclusive education for 1,200 out-of-school children including girls, children affected by conflict, and children with disabilities and special educational needs at schools and accelerated learning centers in North Kivu, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Health / Education
Training and mentorship in child nutrition and feeding for nurses
The project aims to strengthen the capacity of nurses at six health centers in Maseru through a training and mentorship program focused on nutrition and feeding. Spoon will be partnering with the Lesotho National Federation of Organizations for the Disabled (LNFOD).
Education
Vocational training and mentorship for vulnerable young women
The project aims to equip, support and empower 30 marginalized young women (aged 16 to 25) through vocational training combined with mentoring so that each woman recognizes her value and achieves her potential.
We have been supporting projects run by non-profit organisations since 1996, with the aim of helping poor communities in Africa and the Middle East to sustainably rise out of poverty.
The Foundation accepts proposals at all times of the year. Selected projects are submitted to the Foundation’s Board, which meets 3 times per year. We thank you for your interest in the Foundation and invite you to submit your request.
