Main focus of our work

In their work the Schmitz Foundations focus their support mainly on the following three major sectors of development work :

• Basic education and training
  (principally in manual trades and job training)

• Securing basic living standards promoting small-scale commercial activity
  (examples: micro-credits schemes, including agriculture and food security

• Social and charitable projects
  (examples: work with the handicapped, care for the elderly, rehabilitation of street children or support for disadvantaged minorities)
