Education is everyone’s right.
Every child has the right to a quality education, but millions of people around the world are still denied this basic right. At the PATRIZIA Foundation UK, we are committed to changing this by giving children and young adults the opportunity to learn, grow and build a better future – both here in the UK and around the world.
Education, health and wellbeing are not just basic human rights – they are also the foundation for long-term social, cultural and economic development. By investing in education, we create lasting value for future generations.

Our heart project in the land of the Thunder Dragon
With the PATRIZIA Vocational Training Centre in Bumthang, we support young people in Bhutan on their path to a self-determined professional future. The Kingdom of Bhutan is a place full of cultural depth and natural beauty. Together with our partners, we are creating a place of learning, hope and sustainable development.
Transforming lives through music – first project in the UK
We are thrilled to announce the PATRIZIA Music Programme UK, a new programme designed to enrich the lives of young people through the power of high-quality music education. Under this programme, projects will be pursued contributing to the overall aim. For example, in partnership with Music in Secondary Schools Trust (MiSST), the PATRIZIA Foundation will be working with two schools in the UK, providing each participating student with their own classical instrument and the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of music. As well as learning to play, students will develop confidence, communication skills, resilience and ambition – important life skills that will help them realise their full potential. This programme reflects our belief that every child deserves the chance to develop, regardless of their background. With this project, we are not only investing in music education, but also in a better future.

PATRIZIA School Muniguda,
India
In Muniguda, eastern India, one in four people is illiterate. The PATRIZIA School is a beacon of hope, especially for girls at risk of early marriage. The expansion will provide around 1,000 young people access to quality education, including ten new classrooms, science labs, a library, and a computer room. Alongside infrastructure improvements, the focus is on enhancing teaching methods and digital skills to prepare students for the modern workforce.
PATRIZIA Vocational Training Centre, Bhutan
Under the patronage of Her Majesty Sangay Choden Wangchuck, Queen Mother of Bhutan, the PATRIZIA Foundation will build a training centre to offer vocational options and opportunities to 1.000 children. This groundbreaking project is personally led by Her Queen Mother. In a world increasingly losing its sense of purpose, Bhutan stands as a beacon of a different path—a way where happiness is measured not by wealth, but by kindness.
The PATRIZIA Foundation Music Programme, UK
The PATRIZIA Foundation supports musical education by providing classical instruments, group lessons, and performance opportunities to disadvantaged children in the United Kingdom.
By funding 300 new instruments in two schools, the initiative helps students build confidence, communication skills, and aspirations while fostering creativity and self-expression through music.
The PATRIZIA Foundation supports 25 projects in 15 countries across 5 continents, reaching 750,000 children. Each project is tailored to local needs, with long-term Kinderhaus facilities built in partnership with local organizations. Our goal is to reach 1 million children by 2030, ensuring sustainable impact for children, their families, and communities.
Ready for the Future
To ensure children even have access to education, health care and welfare in times of crisis, an innovative digitalisation project is currently being implemented. This is where our project currently stands in three pilot countries: Cameroon, Nepal and Rwanda. In all three countries we are implementing our ‘ready for the future’ concept. Later on down the line the concept will be used in as many places as possible at PATRIZIA Foundation KinderHaus facilities.
With your support, we can implement all kinds of similar projects and ensure that even more children and young people receive education, health care and welfare– at all times.
Your company for education worldwide
Together with small and large partners from the business world, we implement exciting educational projects around the world and give local people the basis for a self-determined life. Let’s work together to create educational infrastructures where they are needed most.
With its Kinderhaus facilities, the PATRIZIA Foundation offers companies various opportunities to implement comprehensive ESG strategies. We would be happy to work with you to find a project that suits your company.

Successful partnerships with local organisations
For 25 years, the PATRIZIA Foundation has been setting up educational infrastructure where it is needed most. The key expertise of the foundation lies in planning and building schools, shelters and medical facilities. All projects are organised and run in close cooperation with local partners. Every PATRIZIA KinderHaus facility is operated by our partners for at least 25 years. This is because we want to make a difference in the long term and foster the development of independent communities.
This also ensures your donation has an impact today and in the future.
Stories of change
The PATRIZIA Foundation has been able to tell over 750.00 tales of happy children and young people since it was set up in 1999 – stories about children who received an education, health care and welfare thanks to the facilities supported by the foundation, also opening the doors of opportunity to a life of self-determination.
