Supporting UN SDG 2
Many impoverished children suffer from diseases of malnutrition and lack the access to nutritious food. This project makes an impact by giving parents a supply of seeds to grow healthy crops, so that they can feed and sustain their children day after day. Maize, vegetable, soya bean, sunflower, peanut and cow pea seeds, along with tree seedlings, are given to subsistence farmers who are trained to develop both large crops and home gardens.
Supporting UN SDGs 5 and 16
One in three Cambodian men admits to having used violence against a partner in the past, indicating the scale of domestic violence. Through structured campaigns, This Life exploits Cambodia’s love of social media to reach large numbers of women at risk of domestic violence. Using social media, we put the power of the law on domestic violence and information about support groups directly into the hands of women at risk, and in the hands of those best placed to help them. Your support enables us to boost our posts within Cambodia to impact even larger numbers of women at a very low cost.
Supporting UN SDGs 3, 11 and 16
Access to safe drinking water is the foundation to address the issues of health, education, food, and livelihood. This water is provided via the means of a Bio-Sand Water Filter (BSF) that lasts up to two decades, or more, and is able to provide safe water for an entire family. A BSF is a point-of-use water treatment system adapted from traditional slow sand filters. Your support provides clean water for an entire family through a BSF.
Supporting UN SDGs 13 and 15
In Honduras, there is an alarming rate of natural habitats being lost to climate change, urban development, and rural-to-urban migration. To counter this, active forest rangers help slow the poaching of trees, water, and wildlife from the Triquilapa and Cantagallo Mountains. Nursery managers also make restoration and reforestation efforts possible to conserve this vital forest. Support these advance community-based efforts that protect biodiversity, and restore habitats that provide 20,000 people with potable water.
Supporting UN SDGs 3 and 10
This project will help prevent child blindness by supporting the distribution of a daily dose of vitamin A supplements to a child in Turkana, Northern Kenya. In the early stages of physical development, it is important that a child receives the correct nutrition. Access to a proper diet is extremely limited in Turkana as people are nomadic pastoralist and live off the blood and milk of their animals. By treating children to prevent blindness you are helping a child living in poverty become more confident and courageous by providing him or her a new chance at life through improved nutrition.
Supporting UN SDG 4
This project will help realise the potential of an underprivileged Ethiopian nursery school child by giving him or her one set of educational materials. These schools often lack sufficient school supplies such as pens, pencils and writing pads, and books have to be shared amongst a group of students. Your support for this cause will help these students get much more out of their education and give them a brighter future.
Supporting UN SDG 15
The rainforests of Borneo, home to the critically endangered orangutan, are threatened with large-scale destruction due to fire. In recent years, droughts have lasted longer and become more frequent. Through this project, we aim to recruit, establish and maintain a permanent fire brigade. We will equip them with specialized firefighting equipment and protective clothing to protect the forest.
Supporting UN SDGs 1, 8 and 15
Running a beekeeping business can be a sustainable and ongoing way of income generation for farmers and entire families. Having a stable source of income can help not only families, but also smaller communities to improve together, have access to nourishing food, a safe living environment and high quality education for the upcoming generations to break the poverty cycle.
Supporting UN SDGs 2 and 12
In the US, an estimated 40% of food produced is wasted while 1 in 7 people are food insecure. During the pandemic those number worsened, and 54 million Americans were experienced food insecurity. Rescuing Leftover Cuisine gets volunteers to rescue meals that would otherwise go to waste from restaurants and other food businesses and deliver it to the hungry at homeless shelters, food pantries, and soup kitchens.
Supporting UN SDGs 7 and 10
Light up the world by providing solar lamps. Solar lighting helps extend their working day into the evening hours and allows children to study during the evening. These lamps are extremely safe as compared to kerosene lamps or other sources of lighting. They reduce the danger of fire and injury as well as improving the local air quality. Your support goes towards providing a primary school child in Malawi with days of light using a solar lamp, to enable them to study for their exams.
