Schools, Libraries and Infrastructure

Teacher Development
High-quality education and training, grounded in sound cultural and traditional values, are essential to human development. The Foundation supports the professional development and further qualification of teachers.
Sports Training and Facilities
Sport can foster personal development, empowerment, unity and social inclusion among young people. The Foundation supports the sporting development of girls and boys and seeks to expand access to training and suitable facilities.
Healthcare, Maternity Services and Hospital Facilities
The Foundation places strong emphasis on healthcare, maternity services and hospital facilities. Its stated aim is to allocate more than 50% of its budget to health-related initiatives, including the development and financing of maternity and hospital facilities.
Support for Older People
Older people have cared for children, educated young people and supported families and communities throughout their lives. They deserve our gratitude, respect and continued care. Providing meaningful support to older people is a central commitment of the Foundation and its collaborators.
The Foundation believes that older people should be able to live with dignity within their families and communities, where they can continue to participate in and contribute to society, rather than being excluded from family life.
