About La Fondazione Agostiniani nel Mondo
La Fondazione Agostiniani nel Mondo (the Augustinians in the World Foundation) was founded on December 20, 2014, by the Augustinian General Curia under Prior General Robert Francis Prevost, O.S.A. (now Pope Leo XIV) to assist Augustinian missionaries worldwide in their social projects benefiting the poorest.
A nonpartisan foundation that works with and for everyone, regardless of religious belief or social background, we find inspiration in the words of St. Augustine as well as the principles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Education for all, respect for human rights, and equitable and sustainable development: these are the values that define our mission, carefully evaluating our work and always standing alongside the poorest.
