Claudine Winkel's Company Details
Unity Foundation is a Luxembourgish Non Governmental Organization committed to the empowerment of communities through education. All our projects are co-financed by Luxembourg's Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (MFEA). We partner up with local development organizations, as we believe this is the best way to ensure sustainability and guarantee long-term impact.In 2018, Unity Foundation signed a 4-year framework agreement with the MFEA of Luxembourg, providing it with the opportunity to carry its vision forward under one single development program entitled: "Education and training for the integrated development of marginalized communities in rural and periurban areas". This means that the Ministry has pledged 2.586.500,00 € (about 76% of the total budget) for our 7 partner organizations.Over the years, the foundation has gained the trust and confidence of many private, public and organizational donors through the nature of the supported projects as well as through its effective and transparent management of donations. One of our operating guidelines is that we don't consider the local people as passive recipients of a development product but our projects safeguard the right of each people to be the protagonists of their own development. Development activity emerges from within a community and belongs to the people ans institutions that are implementing the effort.The Foundation supports educational endeavors in Africa, Latin America and Asia that seek to: - Empower communities to take charge of their own educational needs. - Foster the moral and intellectual development of the younger generation. - Build the capacity of a growing number of community members to contribute to creating a better world. - Encourage the generation and application of knowledge in building a peaceful and prosperous society. - Promote the role of women in participating equally in the affairs of their community.
