About us

We provide shelter, supplies,
and community support.

What is Sauber all about

Sauber is a non-profit foundation, managed by Dust Fiduciaire, dedicated to acquiring and managing properties intended for shelter spaces, along with providing materials and commercial goods to support social and institutional activities. Funds come from institutional donors, long-established family foundations, and socially committed companies.

We are doing
the right thing,
at the right time

At Sauber, it isn’t just about providing aid; it’s about delivering the right solutions precisely when they’re needed most. In a world grappling with increasing displacement and social challenges, our strategic approach ensures our actions have maximum impact.

We are acquiring and managing properties specifically as shelter spaces. This isn’t just a temporary fix; it’s about creating secure, stable foundations for vulnerable individuals and families. By owning and maintaining these essential properties, we ensure long-term stability and dignity, offering a consistent safe haven that temporary solutions often cannot provide.

Beyond shelter, we are committed to providing materials and commercial goods to support vital social and institutional activities. This means everything from essential supplies for daily living in our shelters to resources that empower educational initiatives, community centers, and other organizations dedicated to upliftment. Our support extends to the very infrastructure that helps communities thrive.

The “right time” is now. Global instability, economic shifts, and localized crises underscore the urgent need for reliable support systems. Sauber, with the expert oversight of Dust Fiduciaire, is uniquely positioned to respond. Our direct acquisition model bypasses many bureaucratic delays, allowing us to rapidly establish and manage critical shelter infrastructure. Furthermore, our ability to supply essential goods directly ensures that aid reaches its intended recipients without unnecessary hurdles.

  We are building a more resilient future by focusing on tangible, sustainable solutions. Every property acquired, every material supplied, and every partnership forged is a step towards a more secure and equitable society. Join us in this critical endeavor, as we continue to do the right thing, at the right time.
