Trafigura Foundation
SwitzerlandCommunity/Family
We sponsor our partner organisations in carrying out and strengthening programmes in our three areas of focus: sustainable development, education & integration, and health. We believe that these different roads to development are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Simply providing financial assistance cannot solve problems in the long-term. Once we agree to fund an organisation, we lend our expertise to help them reach their goals. We coach and advise the staff who are effectively carrying out activities on the ground and know them best. This results in a true partnership which ultimately reaps greater value for our beneficiaries. We fund projects on a multi-year basis to maximise their potential for sustainability and success. In this way, we truly accompany our partners and can measure success and impact on a regular basis, including visits to the field. Programmes may vary in size and duration but their common purpose is to create sustainable impact for their beneficiaries. We like to support projects which encourage communities to take responsibility for their own future and help them reach their full potential.
