The Limmat Foundation is happy to share the fantastic experience that Ana von Bock, Limmat’s Programs & Partnerships Manager, recently had on her trip to Africa. With a deep passion for social impact initiatives, Ana embarked on this journey to gain first-hand knowledge of the challenges and successes faced by organizations striving to make a difference in local communities. Inspiring visits in Kenya (Kibondeni College, Eastlands College of Technology, Strathmore University, iGravity, Kianda Foundation), Uganda (Pearlcrest Hospitality Training Institute, COWA) and Rwanda (Sangira, Hope and Homes for Children, Chance for Childhood) were part of her schedule.

During the travels, Ana met exceptional individuals dedicated to driving positive change. She networked with local leaders, stakeholders and government representatives, visited project sites and witnessed the significant changes brought about by these initiatives. One of the key areas that Ana focused on during her visit was vocational training. She explored different projects implemented dedicated to empowering disadvantaged youth through skill training, psychosocial support, rehabilitation, reintegration as well as job assistance. Their work not only transforms lives but also contributes to the social and economic development of the regions.

The Limmat Foundation extends its gratitude to its partners and collaborators who made this transformative journey possible. Together with its network, the Limmat Foundation pursues the goal of positive impact and empowering communities through social projects.
