Thank you, Bonn

We are grateful to have taken part in the 13th Professional Exchange for Foundations in Development Cooperation in Bonn, held with BMZ (the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development) and Engagement Global.

It was inspiring to be in a room full of foundations and organisations that are changing lives around the world. They work on education, health, economic empowerment, climate action and much more, and their dedication reminded us of what is possible when people commit to making a difference.

We made valuable connections, learned from others and found new opportunities to work together. The conversations we had will shape how we grow and how we serve our communities.

Our sincere thanks go to BMZ and Engagement Global for organising this exchange and for making room for foundations to learn from one another. We also thank every organisation we met for sharing its experience, its insights and its passion.

At B.Y. Foundation, we believe no one creates lasting change alone. Partnerships like these make our work stronger and our impact go further.

Next stop: Hamburg on 6 November, where we will meet ARCA and young members of the diaspora.

Together, we can build partnerships that cross borders and create impact for generations to come.
