Created in 2006, the Art and Culture Foundation’s mission is to contribute to the social integration of children, young people and women in situations of vulnerability and risk and to the preservation and diffusion of the most diverse cultural, artistic and historical events in Angola. The Foundation is a member of the Angolan Social Responsibility Network and a partner of the National Children’s Institute (INAC).

The Foundation’s pillars are the following areas of action:

Education for the Arts
Education and training of children, young people and women at risk and vulnerable, through educational arts, and promotion of new artistic talents, in the same target groups, encouraging them to be more creative and productive citizens in society.

Culture
As a partner in promoting national culture, the Foundation creates its own projects and supports renowned and unknown artists, as well as Angolan institutions that have social engagement in this sector.

Special Projects
The Foundation promotes special projects, namely in the areas of health, entrepreneurship and volunteering, allowing, among other aspects, to improve hospitalization conditions for children and adolescents, promote knowledge transfer and develop self-esteem and social inclusion through learning new crafts and arts and, within the scope of voluntary programs, cooperate with host institutions and various NGOs.

An integral part of the Menomadin Foundation, an international philanthropic and impact investing institution, the Funda√ß√£o Arte e Cultura represents the contribution of Mitrelli Group’s corporate social responsibility in Angola.
