Scholarship Program | Indonesia

"Education changes lives—and entire communities."

Investing in people is the most sustainable form of aid. The Sumba Scholarship Program supports exceptionally talented young people and enables them to pursue higher education in fields that are essential to the island’s development. This creates new opportunities—for the students, their families, and the entire community.

Save the Olives | Italy

“Centuries-old olive trees are living witnesses to history.”

Millions of olive trees in Apulia are threatened by the Xylella bacterium. The Save the Olives initiative is saving centuries-old trees through a scientifically supervised treatment program lasting about three years. This involves preparing the soil, grafting resistant olive varieties onto the trees, and carefully monitoring their development over several years until they are healthy and resilient again.
