Our Commitment
We are focused on education with young people, as well as those who are young at heart that will radiate to others in their communities.
Our Impact
Projects include: drilling wells for clean drinking water and crop irrigation, food security, aquaponics, planting native fruit trees, constructing a 30’ by 50’ greenhouse, providing corn pellets as a fuel alternative, and providing smokeless stoves.
We hope to create a greater understanding in the world by sending out teams to locations of need. Working side by side with local communities around the globe, we seek to develop sustainable projects which will improve health, promote equality, develop new friendships and give all involved a new vision of global citizenship in an increasingly interdependent world.
