The B.Foundation for Africa accommodates and supports humanitarian projects in Africa, the continent we consider our second home. Since many years, our airline’s employees are actively involved in humanitarian projects and show a very strong social commitment.
In 2010 Brussels Airlines decided to bundle and structure those internal staff initiatives and added a selection of external projects by NGO’s and not-for-profit organisations. Our goal is to facilitate projects that are closely connected to the core of Brussels Airlines.
Through our b.foundation for Africa we give a helping hand to a number of NGOs and humanitarian projects that have the same passion for Africa as we do. But we also have a dream! A dream of bringing people together in a biking trip on this fascinating continent, having fun together and doing something good for the children of Africa!
Every two years, b.foundation for Africa generates its masterpiece “Bike for Africa”, a mountainbike trip for Brussels Airlines employees and corporate partners, raising funds for the good cause.
