What we Do in Africa
We support them in boosting Youth and women’s yields, earning a higher income, and making their families more food secure.
Inclusion
Many individuals, especially those from marginalized communities, face barriers like discrimination and social exclusion. To address these challenges, initiatives focused on inclusion work by providing education, raising awareness, and creating safe spaces for dialogue. They advocate for equal opportunities in all areas of life—education, employment, and social participation—ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, has the chance to fully participate and thrive in their community.
Equality
Equality ensures that everyone has the same opportunities and is treated fairly, regardless of their background. Many people, particularly from marginalized communities, face barriers that prevent them from accessing the same opportunities as others. To address these issues, equality-focused initiatives work by promoting fair treatment, advocating for equal rights, and removing systemic obstacles. They aim to create a level playing field where everyone can have the same chances to succeed and be valued, regardless of their race, gender, or socioeconomic status.
Sustainability
We focused on sustainability work by promoting energy efficiency, encouraging the use of renewable resources, and supporting eco-friendly practices. They aim to create a balance where economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being go hand in hand, ensuring a healthy planet for years to come.
Human Rights
Helping everyone be treated fairly and with respect is essential. Many people, especially those from marginalized communities, face challenges like poverty, discrimination, and lack of access to essential services. These obstacles make it difficult for them to enjoy basic freedoms and live with dignity. Initiatives focused on protecting rights work to change this by standing up for justice, safeguarding individual freedoms, and creating a society where everyone has a fair chance, no matter who they are or where they come from.
