A Family Foundation
with international impact

Following the accidental death of Jean-François, a young man of 22 who was very open-minded and sensitive to the social realities of the world, his parents decided to take concrete action to resolve these issues close to his heart.

The JFP Foundation was founded in Belgium in 2006 following the family’s important reflection on social issues affecting children, and has since expanded its presence around the world Its current strategic position focuses on children and young people in Belgium, Africa’s Great Lakes region, the Middle East, South-East Asia and India.
