Fondacio
Across the World
Fondacio is an international movement based on a Christian community. Since 1974, Fondacio is acting in the spirit of the second Vatican Council and the dynamics of openness to the world. In 2008, Fondacio received from the Pontifical Council for the Laity the Decree of Recognition as an International Association of the Faithful. Fondacio is a Catholic association with an ecumenical dimension.
People who take part in the life and activities of Fondacio have the will to build a more humane world and the desire to share with others what gives meaning to their lives.
Currently, Fondacio is present in more than 20 countries and 4 continents, in various contexts and particularly in several countries where Christians are a minority. For this reason, these situations make us particularly sensitive. Indeed, it is needed to take into account the diversity of cultures and beliefs in terms of our commitments.
In every continent, Fondacio engages in various initiatives and projects of development and solidarity. Therefore, these initiatives witness the Gospel! So, men and women who are in need or marginalized can become actors of their destiny.

This is the quest that everyone carries throughout his life path. The Fondacio creed is to “Knowing oneself better to better direct one’s life”. By following this path, we can become a way of fulfillment and self-improvement.
Relationships is what everyone lives everyday and that is as essential as the air we breathe. Furthermore, it aims to fully develop in our relationships, build friendships and couple life. That is what we offer with appropriate themes responding to today’s issues.
