ALL ABOUT A DREAM
HOPE
The Belinga Foundation is the dream of the once 15-year old who dreamed of making everyone better, so there would be no disparity in opportunity, success, or wealth. It had to be through education, but also personal initiative and creativity.
The idea evolved into the core mission of the foundation, which is to promote Art, Culture, Health, Education, and Sustainable Development in the underprivileged underserved areas.
The Belinga Foundation believes in the strength of many, the power of caring for one another. By compounding effort over time, and the power of many, we hope to change the world, if but one person at the time.
Our commitment is unwavering, driven by our strong belief that the greatest potential often lies within these underprivileged areas. We wish to light the spark of genius in those we touch with our ideas.
