In cooperation with non-profit organizations Hil-Foundation co-creates programs that promote equal opportunities particularly for children and youth, all genders and sexual miniorities as well as people with mental impairments. Another focus area is building awareness for the crucial role of resilience, wellbeing and selfcare among social entrepreneurs.
