THE MFR FOUNDATION AROUND THE WORLD

Welcome

For the last 15 years the MFR Foundation has been involved in the creation and the financial support of technical and professional education and projects in developing countries around the world. These schools put into practice which combines the use of time in the classroom an on-the-job-training. In other words, "learning by doing".

 

In 1987, encouraged by Florent Nové-Josserand, president of the MFR national Federation in France, the decision was made to increase the number of actions and projects around the word by creating the MFR Foundation. On January 31, 1996, the Foundation obtained official recognition by the French government as a public utility non-profit organization.
