Mission
Created in 2021, the Milk for Good endowment fund stands alongside children and adolescents to give them the means to grow, learn and fulfill themselves around two priorities: “Health and Education”.
Education: revealing every child’s potential through cultural openness
Convinced that art and culture, in all their forms, are major levers for identity-building, learning and emancipation, we support initiatives that complement the action of national education, particularly during after-school hours, when inequalities widen.
Our action aims to:
- Promote the creative act as a driver of personal fulfillment, self-confidence and living together;
- Encourage the learning of academic fundamentals through cultural and artistic approaches;
- Facilitate access to art and culture for young people who are excluded from it for geographical, social or economic reasons ;
- Contribute to the development of a cultural offering across all territories, especially where it is lacking.
Health: contributing to advances in pediatric research and to the wellbeing of sick children
We defend access to care as a fundamental right. To this end, the Fund supports research and prevention against genetic diseases and pediatric cancers, in order to sustainably improve the quality of care and the life prospects of sick children.
Our commitment translates into:
- Funding research structures and programs;
- Supporting the operations of specialized centers and the dissemination of scientific advances;
- Improving reception and support conditions within pediatric services.
A commitment beyond borders
Aware that children’s needs go beyond borders, the Fund also extends its action internationally to support initiatives addressing the most urgent situations of vulnerability.
Our fund intervenes:
- By supporting field actors that respond to holistic and essential needs (health, education, food) in developing countries;
- By accompanying organizations recognized for their humanitarian emergency action with children affected by natural disasters or armed conflicts.
