fondation Audrey jacobs

Based in Lausanne and Brussels, this charity was founded in honour of the founders’ daughter, Audrey, a medical student who died in Nepal in 2010 where she was volunteering at a local hospital.

This charity is actively involved in humanitarian, educational, and medical projects in Nepal. They work mainly with local NGOs or non-profit organisations, already existing or established as a result of their joint efforts. Examples of their projects are setting up or supporting schools in Nepal, providing help to single mothers, and training Buddhist nuns to run and teach in these schools. Some of their fundraising efforts include selling Nepalese handcrafts at different markets or by appointment.  This way they also support local craftsmen while ensuring fair trade.
