Objectives are women and children in conflict or humiliated situations.
With education and economy support, we try to support and help them. Our goal is to give them back their self-respect.
We established a women’s house in Afghanistan who was chosen by Le Figaro and Arte television, as the best humanitarian project of 2005. In this house women can have education, medical care and professional help to establish their own couture atelier.
We also support micro-credits in South-Africa.

Music Fund provides material support to young musicians and music schools in developing countries and conflict areas.
We collect musical instruments, check them and repair them before distributing them. We also organise workshops and courses in instrument building and repair. The workshops take place in the regions where our partner schools are located and longer internships are held in Belgium in the workshops of instrument builders and repairers.
Thanks to Music Fund young musicians are given a chance to develop their musical talents. The different current and upcoming projects are a unique form of cultural development partnerships.
1. Collecting instruments: Music Fund’s first task is to collect instruments. In 2005 we organised the collections ourselves, but since the beginning of 2006 concert organisers in different European countries (France, Austria, Great Britain and Germany joined Belgium in this), take charge of this as part of concerts, festivals or other events.
The second phase is where the complex work begins: the instruments are collected, checked by experts and repaired and all details are carefully entered into a database.
2. Distributions: Around Christmas 2005 a first shipment of repaired instruments arrived in the Middle East by lorry. These musical instruments were then handed over in person to the different partner schools in Palestine (Gaza, Ramallah en Nablus) and Israel (Nazareth). Since then several large shipments have been organised in the Middle East and in Africa ( Mozambique + DRCongo)
3. Training:Since 2006 we have called in the help of a number of experts to set up initiation workshops in repairing, tuning and building musical instruments in the local music schools in South. This is a unique opportunity for Music Fund to complete a capacity building project that supports music education in a very concrete manner. Since 2006 we also provide longer internships in Belgium and at the partnerschools. Recently we also supported a student to obtain a diploma at a reputed school in France and will continue to offer other students this opportunity
4. Repair workshops in the partnerschools: In 2007 Music Fund started running repair workshops in several of its partner schools: in Ramallah in 2007 (in collaboration with other associations), in Maputo in 2007, in Nablus in 2008, and finally in Kinshasa in 2008. These repair workshops are an important part of our partnerships, because not only do they make it possible for the music schools to maintain their own musical instruments independently of Music Fund, they also create incomes as musicians from outside the music schools bring their instruments to these workshops for repair. They are an employment opportunity for people who have followed training courses in instrument repairs via Music Fund.

The Close Up film No Other Land is going to have its world première at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival. The documentary is directed by a collective of 4 Palestinian and Israeli filmmakers: Basel Adra, Yuval Abraham, Hamdan Ballal & Rachel Szor, and tells the story of Basel, a young Palestinian activist who has been filming his community of Masafer Yata being destroyed by Israeli soldiers, as he develops an unlikely, intimate friendship with a similarly aged Israeli journalist who joins his struggle. The film, made in 2021-2021, gets its release in one of the darkest times of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. With this film the 4 directors show their commitment to justice and bring a message of hope for a better future.

Omaniae vzw aims at reducing the humanitarian tragedy of African migrants facing untimely death when travelling through the desert and over sea. The activities of Omaniae vzw focus on addressing and tackling the misinformation strategies that (mis)guide migrants to engage in a risky and irregular search for greener pastures. In fulfilling its aim Omaniae vzw reaches out (i) to the eighty percent (80%) of African migrants who will be confronted with almost certain death as also (ii) to the twenty percent (20%) that do make it but are soon confronted with shattered dreams and unattainable expectations.
