About Us
Inspiring Growth. Empowering Potential.
Ascona Foundation is dedicated to helping individuals discover their strengths, build confidence, and create a positive future through sport, education, and coaching.
Our Mission
Our mission is to inspire and motivate diverse groups through innovative programs that help people get the best out of themselves. We believe everyone has talent and potential sometimes they just need the right guidance and opportunities to unlock it.
Our Vision
We believe that sport and education are powerful tools for personal development and social change. By combining physical activity, learning, and personal guidance, we help build stronger individuals and stronger communities.
Sport is not a miracle cure, but it is a powerful catalyst. Its popularity, social value, and visibility make it an effective way to inspire growth, teamwork, and resilience.
Our Story
Ascona Foundation was founded in 2006 by Ronald Esajas, driven by the belief that personal development contributes to the progress of society.
The organization started with sports programs for girls, recognizing that sport can help develop important life skills such as discipline, perseverance, and teamwork. Soon after, Ascona expanded into education, understanding the importance of a strong academic foundation. Coaching later became the third pillar, helping individuals apply their skills and knowledge in everyday life.
Today, Ascona continues to support youth and adults in discovering their strengths and turning their ambitions into reality.
