EDUCATION
Quality education can have a profound impact on children’s lives and pave the way for the solution of many of the world’s problems. Having a healthy and sustainable lifestyle is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, reducing (gender) inequality, and achieving a better quality of life. We support projects and changemakers active in this area with a focus on children through the planet.
