The foundation's fundamental purpose is to coordinate, finance, assist and advise all projects aimed at assisting, protecting and caring for the poorest, particularly children and young people. It can also promote any action aimed at protecting the environment and more specifically the natural habitat near the beneficiaries' places of residence. It can also encourage cultural activities such as music and sports to promote the development and integration of children and young people. Outside of Switzerland, it can own buildings, movable property including bank accounts. It works to collaborate with the "Mission de Vie" associations around the world and more specifically those based in Lebanon. The foundation may also collaborate on projects pursuing an identical purpose as well as seek funding to achieve these goals.
