In the developing world, cultural heritage projects are often caught in precarious circumstances. That's where the World Monuments Fund comes in. This international nonprofit organization is dedicated to the preservation of historic architecture and cultural heritage sites around the world.

Safeguarding Historic Sites

World Monuments Fund

For several years, we have supported the Annenberg Program for Endangered Cultural Heritage in the Developing World at the World Monuments Fund (WMF). Starting in 2006, the Annenberg Program invited the WMF to help communities around the globe — especially in developing countries —  incorporate historic preservation into their sustainability efforts. Advocacy training, capacity building, and technology exchange were used to empower local guardians of key sites and help communities better appreciate the necessity for cultural heritage preservation. In its first year alone, the program's capacity-building workshops and reconstruction/rehabilitation projects protected the historic fabric of South America's Jesuit Guaraní missions and assured the survival of a particularly rich and meaningful piece of world architectural and cultural history, the Bafut Palace in Cameroon.
