Who we are

We are an independent not-for-profit foundation dedicated to shaping positive futures for and with young people

Vision statement

We envision a world where all young people have the opportunity to realise their full potential and collectively contribute to a more equitable, sustainable, peaceful, and just society. By fostering skills development, economic independence, and social inclusion, we seek to create pathways towards positive futures and a life of dignity.

Our team

We are a passionate team working across regions to advance equitable opportunities for young people in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa.

Our history

Drosos Foundation was established in 2003 in Switzerland with a private endowment from our founder Christa Gelpke-Engelhorn, and began operating in 2005. This founding capital has helped us to fund hundreds of projects supporting young people towards a life of dignity.
