Most of the foundation’s funds are invested in international projects, playing a significant social, economic and environmental role in the communities and countries the group is present. Without of course forgetting Italy, and in particular the territory where the group OTB is based and where the foundation invests in several programs chosen according to its overall selection criteria.

So far, the Only The Brave Foundation has invested in over 170 projects, improving the life of more than 180,000 people, and ranging from the sustainable development of a 20,000 inhabitants village in Mali, to a microcredit project to support families and small business affected by the 2012 earthquake in Emilia Romagna, Italy.
