About us

The Papadans Clown Foundation looks after creative development aid. It brings in funds and donations for children in need.

Our main aim is to help the socially weak and ill children in several war areas and in developing countries. The funds and donations are used to finance the clown shows and associated costs and to pay the expenses for education, food, medical aid, lodging and security for the children. Clown shows have already been given for refugees, children with AIDS and for schools in Colombia, a country that has already suffered 50 years of civil war. The next project is to give clown shows for the poor and ill children in Peru and Colombia.

Papadans Clown Foundation promotes projects that already exist in developing countries, such as the children's home 'Para niños pobres' in Bogotá. They don’t get enough donations to be able to keep giving education, lodging and food to a maximum of 120 children. The children's home has all facilities and has been renovated completely. There is still aid left for 30 more children and we would gladly use this way to help many more children.

The need is high; the injustice is large. The Papadans Clown Foundation endorses that the children have the right to education and other aid. They are the future and theirs are the possibilities to build a country in peace. We adults must help them and invest in them.

Can Papadans Clown Foundation also count on your support?

With warm wishes,
Raoul Papavoine, Founder of the Papadans Clown Foundation
