Quality Education
Education is the key! But in Kenya, over 1 million children still have no access to school. In rural areas, education is often not a priority.
Nature & Climate
In Nepal, we plant a variety of trees to increase farmers’ incomes, strengthen their families and protect our environment.
Water & Health
In many regions of the world, as in Chad, people spend hours every day fetching water from unsafe sources.
