Get to Know Us
SHARE foundation was founded in 2015 to help advance global health by stimulating scientific exchange and partnering with leading organisations to facilitate high-profile medical education programs. ​In 2025, a new branch was formed named SHARE apologetics to address educational needs in the field of apologetics and to advance knowledge-sharing and capacity building on this topic.​
​
We continuously seek educational gaps and scientific needs that deserve greater attention. We focus on areas where knowledge is limited or underfunded and where better education can make a real difference for people and communities. By identifying and addressing these needs, we aim to support those who need it most—wherever they are—through education that empowers and creates lasting impact.
Mission
The mission of the SHARE foundation is to initiate, facilitate, and support educational initiatives that address concrete educational needs within society. By focusing on knowledge development, practical applicability, and empowerment, the foundation aims to make high-quality, evidence-based knowledge accessible and meaningful for individuals and professionals, particularly in areas where education is complex, underfunded, or insufficiently available.
Vision
The SHARE foundation envisions a society in which sustainable progress is driven by the sharing and application of knowledge. Acting as an independent and trustworthy facilitator, the foundation seeks to bridge gaps between experts, educational initiatives, and end users, especially in domains where knowledge disparities or limited funding hinder development. Through this role, SHARE aims to translate expertise into real-world impact and long-term societal benefit.
Identifying New Educational Needs
The SHARE Foundation is always looking to address new knowledge gaps and educational needs in society. We invite individuals and organizations to share ideas for fields where scientific knowledge is lacking, insufficiently applied, or underfunded—especially in areas affecting underserved or neglected groups.
By identifying these needs together, SHARE can help initiate and support educational programs that promote knowledge sharing, empowerment, and meaningful societal impact.
