OUR MISSION
We work with partnerships worldwide focusing on maternal health, children’s education, and mentoring young minds to make a difference.
- Helping women in impoverished and underdeveloped countries by empowering and educating young girls. By mentoring them to stay in school, we hope to get more women around the world involved in leadership positions.
- Helping women in impoverished and underdeveloped countries give birth safely and reduce the maternal death rate.
- Helping children attend school and mentoring them to complete their studies.
- Encouraging the young citizens of financially stable communities to help others and to become aware that we are all world citizens and it is our responsibility to help the world in our own way or any way possible.

OUR STORY
The de Borbón Foundation is a privately owned foundation created to support other organizations. Alessia Alessandra de Borbón, currently an undergraduate senior at New York University at the age of 19, started this foundation in 2015.
Her philanthropic interests were sparked at a young age after an automobile accident. Her response to the situation when she was seven years old was to donate a trauma center area for children. Not too long after, she became a delegate for the Montessori Model United Nations (MMUN) conferences as a part of her school, where she further expanded her philanthropic ideas. She started a food drive in her local area to donate all non-perishable food items, as well as hygiene essentials, to local food banks. After three years of being a delegate at the MMUN, Alessia Alessandra proceeded to becoming a secretariat, then a senior secretariat, and now a Chair for the conferences. Through her years as a delegate and a member of the Bureau, she has made several speeches at the MMUN NYC conferences. She has made it her responsibility to ensure that young students do not feel that their age prevents them from taking action in helping the world. Later on, in 2013, Alessia Alessandra was asked by the program to speak at the MMUN Geneva 2014 Convention, but due to academic responsibilities, she was unable to attend in person. Fortunately, she was able to speak at the convention by video. During the MMUN 2015 New York City Conferences, she was asked to become a mentor for students interested in creating their own non-governmental organizations, otherwise known as NGOs.
Though being busy at her age, Alessia Alessandra enjoys sports such as polo, sailing, and flying. In sailing, she has been asked to compete in the Junior Olympics and the Women’s Championship. She is also a pilot who has received a license in soaring and carries a student license to fly single-engine planes. You can read more about our founder through her personal website.
