We develop and strengthen the skills that individuals, organizations and communities need to respond and adapt in a fast-changing environment.

We enhance the capacity of communities to increase their resilience to climate change.

We facilitate dialogue and build trust between communities for peaceful coexistence and sharing of natural resources

We work on daily basis with communities and help bring their voices to policy makers in a way that can help inform policy and action.

Vital to impactful change in society is the involvement of youth in advocating for peace and demonstrating responsibility by active participation in decision making towards issues that affect them.
