Its activities focus on issues such as environmental protection, education, economic empowerment and humanitarian aid - with the aim of enabling long-term change for people and communities.
Ensuring access to clean water
Water is one of the world's most important resources - but for millions of people, clean drinking water is still not a matter of course. The Coca-Cola Foundation supports projects around the world that improve access to safe water, protect water sources and promote sustainable water use. This is done, for example, by building wells, installing filter systems or training local communities in dealing with water scarcity and management.
Educational opportunities for disadvantaged children and young people
Education is the key to equal opportunities and social progress. The Coca-Cola Foundation invests specifically in educational initiatives that give disadvantaged children and young people access to school education, digital learning opportunities and vocational qualifications. Projects that open up new prospects for girls, young adults or underrepresented groups are particularly favoured.
For example, the Coca-Coal Foundation supports 18 Caritas learning cafés where children from migrant backgrounds receive free tutoring, learning support and social counselling.
Empowering women - economically and socially
The economic and social empowerment of women is another key focus. The Coca-Cola Foundation supports programmes that make it easier for women to become self-employed, give them access to microloans or improve their chances on the labour market through vocational training and further education.
