Why this is important
In the developing world, 1.1 billion people live in run-down urban neighborhoods – that’s 1.1 billion human beings with no roof over their heads. Due to high costs, ownership of apartments and homes tends to be the exclusive domain of the affluent classes. Hence, there is a need for business models enabling the less privileged segments of the population to acquire their own homes or to renovate existing housing units.

relief
relief
Why this is important
The destruction caused by natural disasters is usually enormous and the affected countries are rarely able to cope with the challenge of reconstruction. Emergency disaster relief is a perfectly normal act of solidarity for the Hilti Foundation. Besides it also offers long-term assistance in the wake of natural disasters as well as preventive measures like projects promoting earthquake-resistant construction methods.

Education
Why this is important
Basic education is a human right. It forms the basis for the cultural identity of every individual, of society as a whole and peaceful coexistence. Our educational activities promote self-determination and the capacity to shape one’s own destiny.
