Empowering communities in
South Africa
with dignity and respect.
Who We Are
Bonnievale Projects Luxembourg ASBL is a non-profit organisation based in Luxembourg.
For more than twenty years, we have worked alongside communities in Bonnievale, South Africa, supporting early childhood education, nutrition, and skills development.
Our approach is simple: partnership, dignity, and lasting impact.
We support locally led initiatives that give children safety, women protection, and young people opportunities to grow.
⎯ OUR MISSION
Standing Beside, Not Above
At Bonnievale Projects Luxembourg ASBL, our mission is to support community-led change in South Africa through dignity, education, and opportunity.
We believe that every child deserves safety and space to grow, every woman deserves protection and strength, and every young person deserves a chance to build a secure future.
We work hand in hand with our trusted partner, New Breed Empowerment, focusing on early childhood development, education, nutrition, women’s protection, and skills training for youth.
Together, we help create spaces where people can learn, work, and live with dignity.
All members of our ASBL serve voluntarily, driven by a deep personal connection - a part of our heart is in South Africa.
We make sure that every contribution reaches the community directly, supporting local structures rather than replacing them.
Our mission is simple: to stand beside, not above - empowering communities to build lasting, self-sustaining change.
