A strategic foothold
As millions of children continue to suffer the consequences of armed conflict – forced recruitment, sexual violence, displacement, trauma – WAPA International has opened a branch in Luxembourg to mobilise companies, institutions, schools and donors around a humanitarian emergency that is too often forgotten.
Established under Luxembourg law, WAPA Luxembourg asbl’s mission is to raise awareness, mobilise support and develop partnerships in order to co-fund proven field programmes run by WAPA International for almost fifteen years and, in time, to develop its own projects.
Our ambitions
With this new base, WAPA strengthens its capacity to act and pursues its mission: giving a voice to children affected by armed conflict and mobilising society to build a safer, fairer future for them.
With its international outlook, its tradition of philanthropy and cooperation, as well as the presence of organisations committed to development finance, the Grand Duchy offers a particularly favourable environment. WAPA Luxembourg intends to play a full part in it, forging partnerships with institutions, schools, foundations, companies and donors who want to take concrete action.
Under the leadership of Madeleine Van den Bogaert, WAPA Luxembourg is running several initiatives:
- Awareness-raising & advocacy
- Charity events & citizen mobilisation
- Partnerships: companies, foundations & institutions
- Fundraising
