A world where young people thrive

Every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive. With more and more of the world’s population living in cities, we’re working to improve the wellbeing of young people in growing urban environments around the world.

About us

Our focus: young people’s wellbeing in the urban and digital space

Fondation Botnar works with and for young people towards a world that fulfils their rights and supports their wellbeing.​

Challenges continue to rise in urban and digital spaces where young people live, learn, work, connect and play. ​​

By supporting innovative initiatives and research and bringing together partners from across sectors to enable youth voices, we shape systems to create opportunities for young people around the world. ​

Cities where
young people thrive

We are working to reimagine cities that respond to young people’s aspirations and create healthy, sustainable and liveable urban environments where they can thrive for years to come.​

Meaningful digital spaces for young people

Today’s young people are also the first generation born and raised in the digital age. We want to see a digital future that is fair and includes everyone, especially young people, should be.

Thematic areas

Fondation Botnar works with and for young people towards a world that fulfils their rights and supports their wellbeing. Our mission is to ensure that young people live, work, connect, and play in inclusive societies that fulfil their rights and enable them to shape decisions and drive accountability.​ We focus on four thematic areas.

We support initiatives that have a tangible impact on the lives of young people around the world.

We invest in and support research and innovative programmes from around the world. We also invest in purpose-related companies to help them maximise their positive impact.
