Our theory of change
In a few words

Wakam for Good wants to build a fairer and more inclusive world. For the world to move towards this ideal, we believe we have to promote the inclusion of financially and psychologically excluded populations in France and in Europe.

How? By supporting associations or organisations that help and reintegrate individuals in psychological and financial distress.

Inclusion is a priority issue for policymakers, regulatory bodies and development organisations around the world. According to the Sustainable Development Goals defined by the United Nations, it is a factor of progress, and Wakam for Good has made it its priority.

The projects we support

How Wakam for Good works

from Wakam and its distribution partners.

The endowment fund launches a call for associative projects

the selected non-profit organisations receive untargeted funding.

The donors’ employees vote for

their favourite project each year. The winner receives a bonus boost!

Fondation CNRS

Fondation CNRS

The CNRS Foundation funds CNRS research through philanthropy, promotes the attraction of new talents, and contributes to scientific awards.

Donations from Wakam For Good will finance 2 projects focusing on the study of vestibular system disorders, the silent “sixth sense” which plays a key role in balance, gaze stabilization, as well as numerous other functions including spatial memory.

Balance disorders and vertigo (BDV) have a significant impact on the quality of life of those affected. In France, they account for 5% of all medical prescriptions for people over 50 and 1% of hospital emergencies. Over 1 million people consult each year in France for these disorders, and from the age of 60, nearly 1/3 of the population will be affected. The direct cost of managing BDV represents approximately 3% of total healthcare expenditures. Supporting research is essential to improve the management of these disabling pathologies.
