The Foundation will therefore define the scope of its activities in close collaboration with its partners. The Foundation shall spread its resources equally between projects in Switzerland and abroad. The future governing bodies of the Foundation will have to ensure that the Foundation's resources are distributed equally in Switzerland and abroad. This balance may also be defined on the basis of the average for several years. The Foundation shall see that appropriate consideration is given to projects pertaining to women and equal opportunities.
Women often bear the brunt of the suffering resulting from poverty and violence.
They also play an important role in resolving and coping with such problems. The projects financed by the Foundation will take this into account and work towards equality between the sexes. The Foundation shall respect the principle of sustainable development. The projects financed by the Foundation will be in keeping with the principle of sustainable development as manifested in the interaction of social, economic and ecological factors.
