Our policy
Our goals and objectives for the period 2022 thru 2026

In October 2021 we have defined our goals and objectives for the period 2022 through 2026.

Study funding will only be granted for vocational education. The aim is not so much to obtain diplomas, but rather to acquire skills required by the market, which can be used immediately, with which the target group can easily find work or practice a profession.

Study funding should make vocational education more accessible to disadvantaged or vulnerable young people, such as young people with a physical or mental disability, orphans, street children and young people from slums.

Project funding should make vocational training better accessible to vulnerable and disadvantaged youth. The Foundation will pay special attention to increasing the job prospects, making it easier to enter the labour market. For example, by making tools available in the form of a micro-credit, thus making it possible to start a business. We therefore will support local organisations with vocational education objectives:

  • to purchase teaching aids or training equipment; and
  • to set up internship programs and learning-on-the-job trajectories (so that the labour market for young people becomes better and more easily accessible).
