About Us

Social Investments with Impact are close to our hearts

The YOU Foundation, together with its founder, Dr. h.c. Ute-Henriette Ohoven, UNESCO Special Ambassador for Education for Children in Need, promote programs and projects worldwide that aim to create measurable added value (YOU-WIN-4) for its beneficiaries, the impacted countries, and our donors all while achieving the related SDGs. The goal is always the OUTCOME and the long-term impact (IMPACT). Through social investment, we help people help themselves. All projects aim to improve local conditions in the long term. Project development is participatory and carried out in such a way that it is either self-sustaining or taken over by the relevant local government authorities, communities or stakeholders to ensure sustainability in the best possible way… by creating "ownership feeling." The YOU Foundation is committed to creating improved impact and multiplicative change through self-organization.
