The KPMG Luxembourg Foundation selected Unity Foundation to be one of the recipients of this year´s Sponsorship Campaign granting us with a generous donation of 20,000 Eur! This year, they are supporting a total of 12 Luxembourgish NGOs with a total donation of 248,000 €.

Since its creation in 2009, the KPMG Luxembourg Foundation has been active in creating positive societal impact and encouraging progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals. They furthermore provide financial support to certain NGOs within Luxembourg whose main objectives are to support projects in developing countries with the aim to improve life quality and build a more sustainable and resilient future.

Unity Foundation submitted our local partner in Malawi, Bambino Foundation, to this year’s campaign. The main objective of Bambino Foundation is to actively promote education, provide training for teachers and encourage communities to take charge of their children’s education through the creation of community schools. In addition to supporting education of children, Bambino Foundation promotes an agricultural action-research program aimed at meeting the nutritional needs of children and generating more income for the schools.

At Unity Foundation, we have been blessed to witness that Bambino Foundation´s efforts have not gone unnoticed. More and more parents are willing to send their children to school, hence increasing the number of students and raising the need for more schools in the communities. As a result, in 2019, five new community schools with 168 students were formed and 26 teachers trained bringing the total number of students to 4,324 in 69 schools with a total of 161 teachers.

We are filled with gratitude to KPMG Luxembourg Foundation for having selected us for 2020 and we have no doubt that this generous donation will further aid Bambino Foundation in their endeavours.
