About the Vegte Foundation
The Vegte Foundation is a non-profit family foundation that is an extension of Vegte Holding and was established in 2021. The foundation’s goal is to create a more just, secure, and equal world for all.
We are convinced that everyone deserves a chance at a fulfilling life, and that it is crucial to combat poverty and promote equality to achieve this goal. While we acknowledge that completely eliminating poverty may not be possible, we are determined to do everything in our power to help as many people as we can out of poverty. We believe that access to basic necessities such as shelter, food, and safe water, as well as education, are fundamental human rights and key to providing a fair chance at life.
