WHO WE ARE
Chanelle de Lau Foundation is a charity organization consisting of a small team dedicated to the educational awareness of disease prevention and overall welfare of Curacao with aspirations to further Internationalize in the future. Launched in October of 2017 by CEO & Executive chief Chanelle de Lau, the foundation is new to the community and excited to optimize the conditions in both the health department as well as the educational system. Chanelle de Lau firmly believes that with compassion and unity we can strive for the betterment of lifestyles and make a difference in the lives of people, especially of those in need.

Mission Statement
Chanelle de Lau Foundation, through its network of members, volunteers and partners, aspires to turn compassion into action so that our society can become a place where humanitarian deeds become second nature to us. A place where anyone capable of lending a helping hand take action to make our community a healthy, fruitful and prosperous place for future generations to come. A place where taking care of our neighbors and optimizing our health and lifestyle is most important to us. It is our mission to achieve this through providing educational workshops on disease prevention and encouraging people to help us with our fundraising events, which ultimately contribute to optimization of medical standards on the island. As an ambitious organization it is also our goal to open up a hospice in the next 10 years, for terminally ill children who are in need of a peaceful, warm, fun-loving environment to uplift their spirits in such tragic times.
