Nevertheless, a number of smaller but essential projects are overshadowed by those supported by larger structures that have the means to promote them.

The Hermann Foundation makes it a point of honor to meticulously select the projects that need and deserve support to continue their successful work. Its aim is to encourage educational and vocational training for children and young adults, particularly girls and young women, mainly on the African continent.

Born at the end of the ^19th century, Hermann spent his childhood with sporadic schooling. Despite this, he was lucky enough to do an apprenticeship with Brown Boveri, then open his own small business.

Aware of this, he ensured that his two daughters, born of his union with Elsa, benefited from excellent schooling and solid professional training.

So it was only natural for the founder to name the foundation after her grandfather Hermann, whose aim is to provide schooling and vocational training for disadvantaged girls and women, enabling them to become economically independent.
