Retulp & Fynn Foundation
Despite the fact that poverty is being tackled vigorously around the world, deaf children are often invisible to development organizations. Deaf children are often even "hidden" inside. The Fynn Foundation tries to give deaf children the same opportunities as Fynn as much as possible.
We have set ourselves a goal for 2020: to avoid 20 million single-use plastic bottles and donate 20 million liters of drinking water to people who need it. Change is something you do together, so we want to make the Mission Indisposable 2020 possible with at least 20 entrepreneurs. This week: the case of the Fynn Foundation.
The Fynn Foundation is named after Fynn. Fynn, five years old, was born deaf and dresses up every day, preferably as Superman. Super Fynn! Even on vacation he took his Superman suit with him. Fynn goes to school every day, where he learns to read and write just like the other children. In the Netherlands this is normal, but deaf children in developing countries are often hidden from the outside world. The Fynn Foundation helps these children. This year, with the help of the Fynn Foundation, two children started at the Nyabihu School for the Deaf in Rwanda and next year another sponsor child will join them.
Water bottles for superheroes
The Fynn Foundation is always looking for creative and fun ways to raise money. "We were charmed by the Urban bottles from Retulp because they are tough and made of steel, just like Superman." That's why a very special Urban stainless steel bottle is now available, Fynn's Superheroes. Every Retulp bottle ensures that 1,000 times its contents are donated to clean drinking water in developing countries. Fynn's Superheroes bottle is extra special because it gives deaf children in developing countries the chance to go to school and learn sign language. As Fynn himself beautifully puts it, "A cool bottle for real heroes!"
