On September 11, the Executive Committee of the RAJA-Danièle Marcovici Foundation held its second annual meeting and selected 13 new projects to receive support in 2025.
Chosen for their tangible impact, these projects contribute to improving the lives of women in seven countries: France, Belgium, French Guiana, Italy, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso, and Togo.
All of these initiatives, carried out by local grassroots organisations — including six new partner associations — align with one of the Foundation’s four strategic areas of action.
