The Abundance Foundation and our partners train, support and empower local leaders in communities worldwide to develop new capacities that build lasting improvement in quality of life. The Abundance Foundation works to promote healthy communities by focusing on the intersection of GLOBAL HEALTH, ART & SOCIAL JUSTICE, and YOUTH & FEMALE EMPOWERMENT to help create the conditions for the development of healthy and sustainable eco—systems.
The Abundance Foundation is improving global health by treating and preventing disease through medical education and health system strengthening. But health is more than just the absence of disease. To build resilient communities, the Abundance Foundation is working to create coalitions between partners that build healthy eco-systems and develop the conditions for sustainability. Our projects partner with groups committed to training doctors, nurses, and community health workers to increase access to quality care. We recognize that it is essential to collaborate with local ministries of health and international NGO’s, and it is equally important to work hand-in-hand with grassroots groups committed to establishing long-term sustainability and resilience.
The Abundance Foundation believes that art has the power to illuminate social justice issues, make visible the invisible and permit the deepest expression of the personal effects of injustice, war, and disaster. Art is essential for personal growth, development and self-expression in children and youth. Our projects support the creation of multiple avenues for showcasing the transformative power of art.
Women and youth are disproportionately impacted by war, natural disasters, economic disadvantage and violence. By partnering with organizations that focus on direct assistance to women and youth, the Abundance Foundation leverages the impact of its support.
We partner with effective organizations and committed individuals who stand in solidarity with the communities they serve. In addition to programmatic work and grant funding to sustain and grow successful existing programs, we raise awareness about local leaders whose vision and heroism are creating positive change in their communities. We also help organizations develop innovative partnerships that yield results neither organization could have achieved on their own.
