Solemage - Nonprofit Organization

Solemage is a Nonprofit Organization established on December 4, 2020. Its name derives from “Solem”, a Latin word for “Sun” with the word “age”, which can have a double interpretation, namely the word “age” can be understood as an “era” and it is also an acronym for Association for a Global Endowment, whose joint meaning can be understood as an Association for a global endowment or Age of the Sun. In other words, this association aims to create an endowment, not only of a financial nature, but also of knowledge, culture and intangible assets that aim to benefit not only todays communities but also future generations.

The Association's mission and main purpose is: Contribute to the creation of a better World through the development, sharing and transfer of knowledge. The "Sun" can be understood as a metaphor for knowledge, light, goodness and kindness.
