The Cuomo Foundation, independent and private humanitarian organization works primarily in two areas: Education and Social Welfare.

It has been active for over 10 years around the world: in Africa (Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso), Asia (India, Vietnam, Afghanistan), North America (Haiti), South America (Brazil) and in Europe (France, Italy and Monaco).

Education remains its predominant action, for it is the best way to fight against poverty in the long term. The Foundation has built schools, boarding houses through which it assists more than 7,000 children just in India.

At a higher level, the Foundation has organized scholarships to support graduate students in order  to obtain a job.

Art being one of the highest expressions of Education, the Foundation Cuomo has taken particular interest in music with the International Chopin Piano Competition and paintings with the competition "Senegala."

Social welfare has no clear limits, a wide field where the Cuomo Foundation has worked in several areas : asylum for the disabled (Mercy Home in Chennai - India), potable water system (Burkina Faso), breeding of cattle. We can also add the renovation of day nurseries and the acquisition of high technology medical equipment (the Tissue Tek Express).

At the border of social welfare and medical aid, is the care of surgical corrections of congenital physical alienations (clefts, Noma in Niger) and the financial support for the "No Finish Line" to treat the heart defected children in vulnerable situations, coming from developing countries.
