The Joris Foundation is convinced that the development of this beautiful country begins with educating children. Thanks to our own Mother Teresa on-site, we can be sure that every cent of your donations will be used for those situations where the need is greatest. The Joris Foundation was established after the passing of Joris van de Graaf in 2015 and is managed daily by a team of volunteers.
Marian Kroese
supports the Joris Foundation because:
"When I see all those vulnerable, sweet children, who go through life with so little, yet still smiling, I want to help. Of course, the fact that my son Joris was so happy in Lintha also motivates me."
Hans Korteweg
supports the Joris Foundation because:
"In addition to charity, a healthy professional approach is needed to achieve more for the children of Lintha. Everything must come from the heart, as that is the only way to achieve a beautiful result."
Jan Kroese
supports the Joris Foundation because:
"The Netherlands is a land full of opportunities. Our homes are comfortable. In Lintha, people live in huts that we wouldn't even want as sheds. I want to contribute to changing that."
Jop van de Graaf
supports the Joris Foundation because:
"In our part of the world, healthy eating is taken for granted. The fact that there are still children suffering from hunger in the place where my brother was so happy is something I want to address."
Cathelijn van de Graaf
supports the Joris Foundation because:
"Education is so well organized for children in the Netherlands. The fact that so many children in Myanmar cannot go to school because there is no money breaks my heart. That needs to change."
