2014 – 2024: 10 years!
During the general chapter in August 2013, the Order of Saint Augustine decided to invest more in the sector of international cooperation and, after having examined the various possibilities, on 20 December 2014 created a foundation: the Augustinians Across The World Foundation (Fondazione Agostiniani nel Mondo onlus) (now ETS).
The aim is to support the social works of the Augustinians, both through an economic contribution and by supporting their professional growth in the management of international projects and funding. The final goal is to create a network of Augustinian organizations around the world that work in a structured and effective way for the benefit of the poorest.
After 10 years, there are almost 50 projects implemented in developing countries (in the educational, social, training and economic support fields), and it is impossible to precisely calculate the considerable number of all beneficiaries.
Below there are the most recent:
in Africa: we work in 5 countries for 23 projects:
in Algeria, 2 projects
in Nigeria, 4
Kenya, 7
Democratic Republic of the Congo, 7
Mozambique, 2
Togo, 1
in Latin America we are present in 4 countries with 7 projects:
in Peru, 1
in Cuba, 2
Venezuela, 3
Ecuador, 1
in Asia and Oceania we carry out 5 projects in 4 countries:
in India, 2
Indonesia, West Papua, 1
Indonesia, West Kalimantan, 1
and Philippines, 1.
We created an NGO in the DRC (Augustins à Travers le Monde) and started the procedures for the one in Kenya. We have supported Augustinian students in Italy and collaborated with many associations to start the development education process. Thanks to the Augustinian missionaries, thanks to the donors and to all those who support us.
Happy birthday Foundation!
