Created in 2005, the non-profit organization Joseph Lagesse Foundation is an initiative of IBL’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Arnaud Lagesse.

The Foundation is committed to helping those who are most in need and gives priority to projects in 5 areas: the right to a decent home, health, social issues through the foundation’s work on the ground, education and early childhood and environmental protection.

Convinced that the earlier the education of children is taken care of, the better their future and tomorrow’s society will look, the Joseph Lagesse Foundation has always been committed to early childhood and education. Over the years, the organization has also specialized in the fight against social exclusion, achieving poverty reduction and community development. It also does its best to help and respond to requests from those who need health care that is often inaccessible because it is too expensive.
