Oranje Fonds honors the organization for its efforts as an indispensable link
Fundashon Pro Bista Kòrsou has won an Appeltje van Oranje 2025 award. This afternoon at Noordeinde Palace, in the presence of King Willem-Alexander and Princess Beatrix, Queen Máxima presented the Oranje Fonds recognition awards to organizations that are indispensable in their communities. The other winners are Stichting Straat Consulaat from The Hague and Takecarebnb from Amsterdam.
Indispensable Links
This year, the theme of the Appeltjes van Oranje awards was ‘Indispensable Links’. These organizations see what is going on in society, listen to their target group, and are there when needed. They build bridges and establish connections, working together within the community and with relevant agencies and authorities. In this way, they contribute to a connected society in which everyone can participate and no one is left behind.
Fundashon Pro Bista Kòrsou
Fundashon Pro Bista Kòrsou has been committed to helping people with visual impairments in Curaçao for more than 25 years. Through their powerful approach to rehabilitation and practical training, psychosocial counseling, and empowerment, they have helped hundreds of people regain their strength. Moreover, they strengthen families and society through this way of working. In this way, they make a double impact, for the individual and for society.
The Appeltjes van Oranje are the recognition awards of the Oranje Fonds. They are presented each year to three social organizations that are committed to a connected society. The Queen presents the awards, and in anniversary years, the King does so. The award consists of a bronze statue designed by Princess Beatrix. They also each receive a cash prize of €25,000. This is the 23rd edition of the Appeltjes van Oranje.
