About us…

The Foundation has a focus on the following words: Encouragement, Belief, Honesty and Trust.

These are inspiration based on the kindness towards young people of the Late Aida (who died on 2/2/1990). Aïda is remembered as a mother who loved, cared and supported both children and young adults in her family and the community she lived in.

Mother Aïda was know through the community as a strong pillar and dreamed of a world where the dreams of their children could come true.

27 years later in 2018, Aïda’s daughter; Lydia Amongi started this foundation to build towards the realization of this dream. As a professional Educationist she uses all her knowledge, influence and connections to further empower the local community and strive towards a better tomorrow.

The foundation focuses on children and the young generation to gain appropriate and good nurturing through education and empowerment of parents.

This way they will be able to see their children’s dreams come true and make their world a better place to live for other young generations to come. This goal is being realized through strategic partnership with supporters of education initiatives around the world and personal investment in education by the founding members.

The initial international funding for the foundation in 2016/2017 to support parents’ livelihoods came from Leerkrachtcoaching in the Netherlands.
