The iTouch foundation launched its flagship project in 2015 in honour of, and inspired by, Feroza Adam. This Legacy programme is dedicated to empowering disadvantaged women through skills development and mentorship programs.

Global Child Forum
Global Child Forum is an independent, global multi-stakeholder platform for informed dialogue and thought leadership on how to advance children’s rights in support of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Global Child Forum aims at gathering leaders from business, governments, academia and civil society in a joint effort to implement children’s rights. iTouch was invited to participate in the GCF, and in particular we focused on responsible marketing to children. We believe companies must ensure that their communication and marketing approaches are conducted in the best interest of the child.
Project Playground
Project Playground is a non-profit organisation, founded in 2010, engaging over 800 vulnerable children and youth in townships outside Cape Town in South Africa as well as 100 vulnerable children and youth from the lower social economic areas around Stockholm Sweden. Their vision is a world where every child and youth grow up with a belief in the future and the opportunity to positively impact their own lives.
Sustainable Development
In September 2015, the United Nations launched the Global Goals. If they are met, these 17 goals, with their ambitious targets, could end extreme poverty, fight inequality and tackle climate change over the next 15 years. The goals are designed to safeguard the health and future of the planet and everyone on it. The best chances of meeting the goals is if everyone on the planet knows about them.
