How we work

We invest in the ideas that are making a difference, bring together communities and kickstart dialogue, backed up by monitoring and evaluation to ensure we’re having the most meaningful impact.

... and why

Our cities are changing. Rapid urbanisation often comes with a number of threats to young people’s wellbeing, such as unsafe infrastructure, inadequate services, violence and injury. At Fondation Botnar, our goal is to transform cities by creating inclusive urban environments and systems that are truly fit and ready to support the health and wellbeing of the young people who live in them through the transformational power of AI and digital technology.
