101 ROSES FOUNDATION
About the Foundation
Every young person deserves to be seen, heard, valued, and protected.
The 101 Roses Foundation is a youth-focused foundation dedicated to awareness, prevention, education, belonging, support, and compassionate action. Through our growing initiatives, we work to support young people, families, educators, and communities as they build safer, kinder, and more protective spaces for youth.
The Garden is the welcoming centre of the Foundation. It connects each initiative, each pathway of support, and each act of care under one shared belief: young people deserve communities that notice, listen, include, protect, and respond with compassion.
Our Mission
To help young people feel supported before they feel alone.
The Foundation exists to turn compassion into action by supporting initiatives that promote hope, prevention, education, community connection, and meaningful support for young people.
Our mission is rooted in the understanding that young people need more than information. They need safe environments, trusted adults, open conversations, inclusive communities, and access to support before problems become crises.
Our Approach
Prevention begins long before crisis.
The 101 Roses Foundation believes support should begin early, gently, and consistently. Our approach is built around awareness, education, belonging, and connection so that young people are surrounded by care before they feel isolated or unseen.
We support prevention through open conversations, compassionate resources, youth-focused initiatives, and community awareness. Rather than waiting until a young person is already in crisis, we believe families, educators, friends, and communities can help create protective spaces where young people feel safe enough to speak and supported enough to be heard.
Through the Garden and its growing initiatives, the Foundation works to nurture hope, strengthen understanding, and encourage practical action that helps young people feel valued, protected, and connected.
Who We Serve
Young people are at the heart of everything we do.
The 101 Roses Foundation serves young people and the communities around them. Our work is designed for youth, families, caregivers, educators, schools, volunteers, and community members who believe that every young person deserves care, dignity, protection, and belonging.
We recognize that young people are supported best when the people around them are also informed, encouraged, and connected. For that reason, the Foundation is not only for youth themselves, but also for the families, educators, friends, and communities who help shape the spaces where young people live, learn, and grow.

Our Beginning
The 101 Roses Foundation began with love, remembrance, and the desire to create something meaningful from loss. Its origins are connected to the story of Anna-Mariya and the belief that memory can become action when it is guided by compassion.
Today, the Foundation continues to honour that beginning while growing into a broader youth-support organization. The Foundation does not exist only to remember. It exists to protect, educate, support, and help create a future where young people are surrounded by care before they feel alone.
The rose remains part of our history. The garden represents our future.
Our Vision
Our vision is a future where young people are supported by communities that notice, listen, include, protect, and respond with compassion.
We believe that prevention begins long before crisis. It begins in classrooms, homes, friendships, conversations, communities, and everyday acts of care. Through the Foundation and its initiatives, we are working to grow a garden of support where young people can feel safe enough to reach out, strong enough to speak, and valued enough to believe they matter.
Help Us Grow the Garden
Every act of kindness, support, advocacy, and generosity helps create safer, stronger communities for young people.
