OUR MISSION

FOR Foundation provides training, professional coaching or impartial financial assistance to generate lasting results for the future of the beneficiary: Coach FOR prosperity!

OUR VISION

Lessons can be learnt from both success and failure in business, as well as from faith in talent and human values. We believe that helping, without training to create wealth, is a wasted opportunity.

There is no success without a successor. That is why success is based on the sharing of wealth and talents, between those who have and those who have not. The foundation’s vision is more than a virtual dream: it’s a reality, achieved every time a partner acts with us on the ground.

You can be a part of this by becoming a partner or a donor.
