As the festive season approaches, we are particularly grateful for the inspiring generosity shown by our donors throughout the year and for their confidence in our solutions to organise and facilitate their philanthropy for projects of general interest. We would also like to thank our partners for the invaluable collaboration and synergies that have enabled us to promote philanthropy even further.
This quarter, through our Rapid Response Fund activated in response to the emergency in Lebanon, we continued to support local Lebanese organisations, raising a total of CHF 377,000 to help displaced families affected by the escalation of hostilities. We also completed three years of support for a maternal and child health project in Uganda through our Health Thematic Fund. In addition, the Master Class in Philanthropy, scheduled for the end of March 2025, will soon be fully booked. Our Foundation also supported Swiss donors in their support for the emergency funds set up by our partners in the Transnational Giving Europe (TGE) network in Spain (Valencia) and France (Mayotte). Finally, we also appeared in the newsletter of the Swiss Embassy in France to promote the philanthropy of the Swiss abroad, as part of our partnership with the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad.
