What we do

Climate awareness, adaptation and climate-resilient community infrastructure — from tree planting to community systems that withstand environmental shocks.

Approach

How we work, in this programme and every other

  • Inclusive & participatory development

    Communities help define problems, design solutions, implement and monitor results.

  • Youth & women's leadership

    Founded to remove barriers to youth and women's participation in decision-making — and still central to everything we do.

  • Accountability & good governance

    Transparent, accountable and inclusive systems, with communities engaging constructively with the institutions that serve them.

  • Partnership & collaboration

    Displacement, climate change and poverty are too complex for any one organisation to solve alone.

  • Community ownership & sustainability

    We build local capacity so gains last beyond individual project cycles.
