Through lifelong learning, guidance, and job placement, the Foundation promotes local socio-economic development and innovation, with a deep, privileged focus on those at risk of marginalization or social disadvantage.Strategic ObjectivesTo fulfill its institutional mandate, the Foundation pursues three core operational strategies:Proposing the Christian message to all stakeholders in a spirit of absolute respect for personal beliefs and diverse religions.
