We dream of a world in which every child and young person - regardless of origin or circumstances - can grow up with opportunities, safety and dignity. By promoting mutual understanding, friendship and cooperation, we build lasting peace and a more humane society. SUR Foundation aims to form a bridge between people in need and those who want to help, contributing to a more just world for all.
Why do we help?
Helping, donating and being in solidarity come from compassion. A compassionate person acts from inner compassion for others. Therefore, we do not help out of pity or to make people dependent on us. On the contrary, helping is a moral, social and religious virtue. A virtue is an attitude of life, arising from the determined choice to devote oneself to the welfare of one's fellow man.
Donate and show solidarity, not just from a feeling or impulse, but from a deep sense of responsibility.
