Renovation works of the « Piscine municipale Princesse Charlène de Monaco » at La Turbie

Since 2014, 1,875 children from the schools of La Turbie, Eze and Peille, have benefited from the support of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation at La Turbie swimming pool as part of the «Learn to Swim» programme.

In 2018, some notable renovation works have been led by the La Turbie’s municipality.

1,4 M. € were necessary, 100.000 € of which will be financed by the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation.

The new swimming pool is now accessible to disabled people.

The eco-friendly heating systems will allow the swimming pool to stay open from May to September.

Awutu-Winton High School Ghana

In November 2016, the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation has participated with his partner, the English association Educational Development Projects Trust at the official inauguration of the swimming pool of Awutu-Winton Senior High School, at Awutu Bereku in Ghana.

By donating this pool and by financing the swimming and water safety courses, the Foundation is glad to add this activity to the classes attended by the 440 students of the institution and the students of Awutu-Breku region.

To date, more than 1.400 children benefited from the « Learn to Swim » programme.

Launched on 14 December 2012, the primary objective of the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation is to save lives by putting an end to drowning.

Its missions are to raise public awareness about the dangers of water, teach children preventive measures and teach them to swim.

The World Health Organization estimated that 360,000 people drowned worldwide in 2015 (1):

- More than 40 fatalities every hour

- More than half the victims are under the age of 25

- Children under the age of 5 are the most affected

When a drowning is non-fatal, often the victim is left with severe aftereffects, in particular neurological.

A number of “Learn to Swim” and “Water Safety” programmes have been implemented around the world in order to fight against this scourge.

The Foundation’s actions are also based on the values of sport such as discipline, self-respect and respect for others, determination and team spirit.

The “Sport and Education” programme uses sporting activities as tools to contribute to the well-being and development for all children no matter their origin or circumstances.

Since the Foundation’s creation more than 590,000 people, mainly children, benefited from these three programmes in 34 countries (2).
