We act to change lives.
The Bassoul Dignity Foundation provides solutions and supports people in need by offering second chances for them to build a dignified life.
Our Programs
Relief Oven
In response to the needs of 100 million homeless people in the world, the Bassoul Dignity Foundation developed a stove for refugees and displaced people, to enable them to cook for themselves and their families.

Micro-Loans
We enable people in need to work their own way out of poverty by providing microloans to achieve their dreams. We offer them the opportunity to start successful businesses; building independence and financial resilience to regain back their dignity.
