Manuel Collas de La Roche, president & founder of the Better World Fund
Our president vision

Manuel Collas de La Roche

“In the age of technology, the multiplication of social networks and the apogee of the virtual, which makes us lose sight of the true meaning of life, it is essential to refocus on our values and to make them live through our actions.

Humanists must incarnate their values and inspire our actions to regain that balance and the harmony that is increasingly maltreated on this planet.

I created the Better World Forum because I am firmly convinced that humanity must be reborn on a new basis, to allow the enlightenment of every human being to flourish and to illuminate our world that so badly needs it.“
