Fondation Botnar is a charitable foundation established with the core purpose to improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people in growing secondary cities around the world. We were founded in Basel in 2003 by Marcela Botnar with the aim of continuing the philanthropic work of the Botnar family for the benefit of children worldwide. We want to ensure that every child has the right to enjoy good health, balanced nutrition and quality education in order to lead a dignified life as a thriving citizen who positively contributes to society.
