The Princess Charlene Foundation is stepping up its drowning prevention activities
The Foundation has carried out five flagship actions and projects between 2020 and today.
Promoting education through sport and the fight against drowning all over the world, this has been the mission of the Princess Charlene Foundation since 2012. Between awareness-raising conferences, the creation of a mobile swimming pool and teaching swimming through the world, the Foundation reports a more than satisfactory balance sheet:
- On March 23, the Foundation organized a conference dedicated to the prevention of drowning, at the Monaco Pavilion of the Dubai 2020 World Expo.
- On March 10, a consecutive day for sport, with a water bike test session at the Yacht Club de Monaco, then a dinner-conference to present the Cap Optimist challenge: 6 waterwomen will set off to cross the South Pacific on a paddle. Departure on June 5, 2022 from the Yacht Club.
- On March 4, a new partnership signed with the Aqwa Itineris association: creation of a mobile swimming pool to make swimming lessons accessible to all.
- Since 2021, the Foundation has supported two new learning to swim projects. A first in Argentina (Patagonia), alongside the Monaco Argentina Association and the Fundación Protejamos Patagonia; a second in Haiti alongside L’Appel, an international solidarity association aimed at the development of children and their communities.
- In 2021, the Foundation also created a rugby school in Ecuador: “Condors de Monaco”, in partnership with the Monegasque Association for Latin America.
