The Siemens Stiftung Foundation is the foundation of the Siemens Corporation. Its goal is to promote positive social change by funding opportunities that encourage social and economic engagement. The Foundation focuses on projects in education (science and technology, language development and integration), culture (performing arts and music), social entrepreneurship (water and energy, environment and cooperative farming, social entrepreneurship and knowledge sharing), and basic needs. Projects are developed in Africa, Europe, and Latin America. Current projects include: developing better water quality through filter systems for Achocalla, early childhood STEM education, and creating interactive language software.
