Objective 3:
Caring for Mauritians – who need it most
A strong society is one where no one is left behind. Across Mauritius, vulnerable communities face barriers to health, stability, and opportunity – whether due to disability, illness, poverty, or social exclusion. Bioculture Cares believes that well-being is a fundamental right, not a privilege.
That’s why we invest in organizations that are already making a difference and contributing to the well-being of Mauritians in situations of vulnerability. We make this happen by providing funding that amplifies their impact and ensures that resources reach Mauritians who need them most, nationwide.
