Funding

Winds of Hope has chosen to focus primarily on prevention work in the field and to dedicate it all the donations that the Foundation receives. Thus, each donor is assured that its support will be totally dedicated to the fight against noma in Africa.

The work done by the Foundation in Europe to unite forces to fight against noma, to develop advocacy with the institutions as well as running expenses and staff cost are provided through the support of its partners.
