Health

The COVID-19 pandemic has many of us staying at home and our routines involve potentially far less in terms of social interactions, movement and exercise. This can have a negative overall effect on physical and mental health. Increasing accessing to healthful nutrition, exercise and mental health tools can ultimately help societies thrive, be more cohesive and prosperous. Overall health and well-being is a vital part of achieving all the 17 SDG Goals. 

Women’s Economic Empowerment

We strive to bring economic empowerment in communities and regions where access to resources has been limited for various reasons to achieve sustainable economic growth.  We find partners who are investing with inclusive opportunities using innovative technologies which are critical for security and implementation. We focus on financial education which is vitally important for all sectors to achieve the success of their initiatives and the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. 

Disaster Relief

In a world of increasing disasters and humanitarian emergencies, proactive coordination and responsiveness is critical. Currently humanitarian assistance is needed worldwide, with children typically constituting at least half of beneficiaries. Increasingly severe and frequent weather events and other natural hazards due to climate change are exacerbating the vulnerabilities including due armed conflicts that often drive humanitarian need.

Refugee Resettlement

A refugee is a person who is forced to flee his/her home country and is unable to return to that country because of a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Some priorities are working with community partners in healthcare, social services, and education to provide the necessary services to newly arrived refugees and their families.  

Education 

We address a number of issues that present barriers to education, helping children access education and more. Working with public and private partners to develop initiatives. Partnerships between the private sector, civil society organizations and governments to design and deploy innovative solutions. We improve educational opportunities for children around the world through technology, increasing digital inclusion. Together they help countries tackle content and connectivity gaps, and facilitate inclusive learning opportunities for children and youth during this period of sudden and unprecedented educational disruption.

Food Security 

The FAO of the UN identified the four pillars of food security as availability, access, utilization, and stability. Conflict and climate change are among the identified causes for the increase in food insecurity and hunger, both of which have continued to increase in some areas of the world. Food insecurity is often rooted in poverty and has long-term impacts on the abilities of communities to develop. Transforming food systems is essential to achieving food security and improving nutrition. An annual flagship report was jointly prepared by FAO, IFAD, UNICEF, WFP, and WHO to inform on progress towards ending hunger, achieving food security, and improving nutrition and to provide an in-depth analysis of key challenges for achieving this goal in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Ocean

The “ocean economy” is worth around $2.5 trillion, and over 3 billion people (about 40% of the world's population) depend on the biodiversity and services it provides, including for food, renewable energy, tourism and trade are just a few examples.  Scientists estimate that 50-80% of the oxygen production on Earth comes from the ocean. The majority of this production is from oceanic plankton-drifting plants, algae, and some bacteria that can photosynthesize. The integrity of the ocean ecosystem is under threat, plastic pollution and abuse of the earth’s ocean, addressing unsustainable fishing practices, climate change, ocean acidification and destruction of habitats. We must create solutions which are crucial to saving the oceans, coasts, and communities.

Climate Change

The United Nations deems climate change the defining crisis of our times As the UN Secretary-General António Guterres pointed out, “the climate emergency is a race we are losing, but it is a race we can win.” Every organization, and individual has been or will be impacted by climate change, we must create solutions to address this issue.  Climate Change encompasses not only rising average temperatures but also extreme weather events, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas, and other impacts. All of these changes are emerging as humans continue to add heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. To address the global climate crisis, we need action and investments at every level of government, and throughout the private sector.
