For as long as he can remember, Guillaume Rambourg has been acutely aware of the injustice afflicting so many people, and the extent of the gap between the privileged and the have nots. That process was a result of his upbringing in New York, but also of the extensive travel across Africa, where his father used to take the family along, during his time as a United Nations diplomat.

Early on in his successful career in Finance in London, Guillaume Rambourg started making various donations to charitable causes dear to his heart, such as human rights and peace initiatives.

Education

The promotion of education is a pillar of the Rambourg Foudation's activities. From the refurbishment of schools, to the financing and organisation of learning modules and children's activities, we strive to help young people gain knowledge and learn new skills, in an improved environment which makes them want to reiterate the experience.

It is in this field that the most major projects were carried out, namely the “L’Eveil d’une Nation” exhibition, and the creation of a cultural centre in Jbel Semmama. The Contemporary Art Prize held 3 editions over 5 years, and two movies were produced.
