Huisman Foundation

The Huisman Foundation contributes to a businesslike and integrated approach on sustainable development of the wellbeing and lifelihood of the (poor) people in Africa. To reach its targets the Huisman Foundation looks for cooperation with likeminded foundations and initiatives. The main focus of the Huisman Foundation itself is on:

* Water and sanitation
* Sustainable, clean energy
* Health and wellbeing
* Support of commercial activities and entrepreneurship

The Huisman Foundation is convinced that aid must comply with certain conditions in order to be effective. Aid must be demand-driven and aimed at continuity. Aid should make the beneficiaries independent and defensible instead of dependable. Finally, aid should have an integrated and multisectoral orientation. The central pillars of an effective aid are the economic development and the improvement of lifelihood.
