Our Beliefs
The following points provide the framework for our work:
- We believe that by creating the right partnerships we can implement valuable initiatives on the ground that make a concrete difference to the environment, livelihoods and the environmental education of children.
- We recognise that children represent the future of our planet and educating them on the environment is therefore critical to building a better future.
- Trees have the power to change lives. Planting the right trees in the right projects can bring economic sustainability to poor rural communities, as well as provide significant environmental benefits.
- Climate change is the biggest challenge facing our world. It is critical to raise awareness of this issue, provide education around it, and encourage individuals and businesses to take action on it.
