The foundation also supports initiatives to protect and promote human rights for disadvantaged and threatened individuals and communities, as well as innovative and sustainable development projects in South and Southeast Asia that benefit disadvantaged people through capacity-building approaches. The foundation does not implement projects directly but partners with various non-profit organizations, requiring all supported activities and projects to demonstrate transparent and sustainable positive results.
