Description
1) Objective
The Wavestone Foundation, formerly the Solucom Foundation, was founded in 2009 by Michel Dancoisne and Pascal Imbert with a view to harnessing the success of the consultancy firm they founded in 1990 for the benefit of a humanitarian cause. They decided to focus the Foundation’s work on disadvantaged children, a cause they feel strongly about despite being far removed from their business field. The mission of the Foundation is to work in France and internationally on supporting and developing initiatives to help disadvantaged children, particularly those in situations of poverty or extreme deprivation. Projects for 2024 must combat severe child malnutrition, particularly in fragile countries (South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, conflict zones, etc.).
Past projects that they have supported include: (1) a goat breeding program for vulnerable families in Rwanda; (2) support of a boarding school in Mozambique; (3) construction of a shelter for homeless children in Africa; (4) renovation of a library in Peru; (5) construction of a primary school in Laos; (6) sanitary facilities and a kitchen for children in Thailand; (7) providing access to drinking water and sanitation in Madagascar; (8) construction of a new hospital for street children in Senegal; (9) a poultry farming project in Togo.
2) Eligibility
Applicants must be based in France or in a country where Wavestone has an office: Belgium, the United States, Hong Kong, Singapore, Luxembourg, Morocco, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
3) Location
Projects must combat severe child malnutrition, particularly in fragile countries (South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, conflict zones, etc.).
4) Budget
The Foundation subsidizes no more than 50% of the total cost of a project and a maximum of €10,000 per project. Every year the Wavestone Foundation accepts and finances around 10-15 projects.

The applications will be analyzed by a pre-selection committee made up of employees, which will meet between October 2024 and early 2025.
