Barefoot College. The Small Enterprise Foundation | Envisioning a world free from poverty. Foundation: Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung. "In the service of democracy, peace and development" – this is the motto that the Hanns Seidel Foundation applies to its work and mission. The motto applies not only for its commitment in Germany, especially in Bavaria, of course, but also abroad. The understanding of a democracy has to be newly acquired in each generation. Political connections must be made clearly shown – especially to young people. That is the only way to motivate them to commit themselves and to take on responsibility. Besides this conviction effort for our democracy and the free, legal and social order, the fundamental principles and norms of our community have to also be ensured and firmly anchored in the conscience of all citizens.
Since its establishment on April 11, 1967, the Hanns Seidel Foundation has been practicing political education work with the aim of supporting "the democratic and civic education of the German people with a Christian basis" – as the foundation's statutes say. OLIVE LEAF Foundation - Programme Listing. Children & Youth Constituting nearly 50% of the population of least developed countries, children are most vulnerable to poverty and abuse.
They disproportionately pay the price of inadequate nutrition, reduced health and poor education, leading to fewer opportunities to move out of poverty. OLIVE LEAF Foundation’s objective is to enable and support communities and community organisations to assist children and youth to reach their full potential. We do this by: Mobilising and strengthening communities to meet the needs of vulnerable children and youth; Facilitating psycho-social and life skills support for vulnerable children and youth; Assisting vulnerable children and youth with targeted interventions; and Supporting local educational institutions to enable children and youth to reach their full potential. Community Wellness OLIVE LEAF Foundation develops sustainable community owned and driven wellness systems, in collaboration with local government and non-government partners.
