Implementing the Foundation’s strategic framework, projects will particularly focus on dual vocational training for disadvantaged communities, the conservation of endangered species, sustainable agriculture, protecting marine environments, empowering local entrepreneurs, creatives, and artisans, and promoting sustainable investment.
