our impact
In most communities across the world, there is minimal or no sustainability training, yet there is a desire to find solutions to protect and conserve the environment of their communities.
We create greater impact because people are trained and empowered on-the-ground in their own communities, building a deeper sense of ownership for sustained change.
We believe that sustainable communities lead to a sustainable planet.
