We celebrate hope.

Our programs explore Havel’s profound  contribution to building free and just societies. Through a nuanced examination of his ideas and actions, we aim to inspire a new generation committed to realizing Havel’s vision of a more equitable and compassionate world.

We span generations.

We safeguard the values Havel stood for and pass them on to future generations.

Technology

Non-profit lending platforms

Charity today is not as straightforward as it used to be; it goes way beyond donating money or goods to those in need.
