Holy Family Foundation

What Holy Family Foundation does

Holy Family Foundation (Heilige Familie Stichting) is a charitable religious foundation headquartered in 's-Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, tracing its origins to 1823 when the Archpriests of Holland approved the Regulations of the Pédagogie Chrétienne — a foundation of religious sisters dedicated to the upbringing and education of poor children. Today the foundation operates under the umbrella of the Congregation of Jesus Mary Joseph and is a member of VIVAT International, which holds Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council. Programs span inclusive education, healthcare, economic empowerment, anti-human trafficking awareness, water and sanitation infrastructure, environmental stewardship, and LGBTQ+ inclusion, delivered through affiliated JMJ institutions across the Netherlands, India, and Ghana.

The foundation's service portfolio includes JMJ Sneha Sadan migrant children education (35 children mainstreamed into formal schooling at Kogilu, Karnataka), a mechanized borehole water project in Sambuli Village (3,452 residents served, 70% reduction in waterborne diseases), a Ghana skill development program in tailoring and hairdressing (launched October 2023), transgender community health camps in Mahabubnagar, free tuition and youth holistic development at Manidragarh (4,000+ beneficiaries), anti-human trafficking training for healthcare workers, and a gift catalog offering a €11,650 multi-year comprehensive development package for 50 children with disabilities. Programs are aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals 3, 4, 5, 12, 13, and 16, and are implemented via partnerships with JMJ Social Service Society chapters, JMJ Hospitals, and external allies such as Hum Is Deshwasi and Sneha Siri Sadhikarika Welfare Society.

The foundation is not a technology or commercial enterprise. Revenue mechanics are donation-driven through gifts, bequests, and a public gift catalog; pricing for program units is quote-based and not generally disclosed, with the only quantified reference being the €11,650 / 50-children / 24-month disability package. The foundation is governed by a Board of Trust appointed by the General Board of the Congregation of Jesus Mary Joseph, with day-to-day asset management handled by an internal Investment Committee. No revenue, headcount, audit figures, or fundraising totals are publicly disclosed in the available materials.
