Thanks to all fundraising, the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation, with the collaboration of Monaco and Burkina Faso Red Cross, has built the much needed aquatic center in Loumbila in Burkina Faso and we are now in position to start to train water safety and swimming instructors.

Since I launched my Foundation in 2012, we have reached over 500.000 people in 33 countries at the end of 2017, teaching them to swim, to learn essential water safety skills and to appreciate the values of sport that are so dear to me.

Thanks to your generosity, all the fundraising will allow to finance the projects followed by my Foundation and that are dear to my heart.”
