SUSTAINABILITY
Plant Seeds
for the Future
We work with communities and leaders to ensure they can support the children who need them—today and tomorrow—by investing in economic, agricultural, and organizational sustainability. Through providing resources, skills, and ongoing support, we help build long-term health so communities are equipped to protect and care for their children.
Children need strong communities just as much as communities need children. In conflict-prone areas, food insecurity, lack of leadership, and poor medical care weaken a community’s ability to educate and protect its most vulnerable. Together, through key partnerships, skills, and education, we can create sustainable solutions that strengthen communities and safeguard children’s futures.
Economic
Sustainability
Business entrepreneurs are an essential part of resolving ongoing conflict around the world. When we alleviate the struggles of poverty, we create more opportunities for people to help themselves and not fall prey to others. When we capacitate local leaders in resource management and entrepreneurship, their communities aren’t as susceptible to violence and child exploitation.
Agricultural
Sustainability
Farming is a skill that solves short-term and long-term needs. It protects communities in multiple ways, especially rural or indigenous areas plagued by violence. Alleviating food security issues takes acute pressure off vulnerable members of a community, and training new farmers creates healthy financial streams and increases stability and security.
Community
Sustainability
The more a community can build its own programs and take care of its own people, the more stable it can be. We develop local leaders to lower a community’s risk of conflict, making it less reliant on external funding and involvement. Conflict prone and destabilized communities struggle in particular with access to basic health education and trauma. By showing leaders how to address health, child protection and psychological needs, these communities are stronger all around, with less risk of exploitation and poverty.
