The Work Together Foundation was established with civil funds collected during the financial crisis of the late 90s. In continuation of the efforts made to tackle the issues of mass unemployment triggered by the financial crisis, we were giving a boost to our engagement through the collection of civil donations starting in 2009. The funds raised are used to create jobs and support the unemployed, low-income households with children, and youth in economic and social need. The Work Together Foundations accumulated experience and knowhow in implementing projects and managing the fund, networking with useful and practical resources and utilizing professional human resources maximize the value of donations collected from our individual contributors.
