Fidel Götz Foundation

Established in Liechtenstein in 1969, the Fidel Götz Foundation has a long-standing commitment to education and social justice, working primarily with Catholic organisations in Africa.

Building on this legacy, the Foundation has evolved from traditional grantmaking towards initiating and developing its own educational programmes, with a particular focus on girls and young women.

Our Vision

We envision a world where education empowers young people, particularly girls and young women, to realise their potential, take ownership of their futures, and become agents of change for a more just and equal society.

Our Mission

We initiate and develop educational programmes in Africa that empower young people, strengthen leadership capabilities and foster sustainable, locally driven change.

Working with local partners, we invest in education, leadership development and institutional capacity to strengthen ownership, accountability and long-term impact.
