Our Programmes
The State of the World
We are fast approaching the 2030 milestone for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
As we approach the 2030 milestone for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it becomes increasingly evident that the global community may not achieve the set targets.
This fact is most prominently seen in Africa’s rural locales and lower-income neighbourhoods, where the number of people left behind has alarmingly increased. Poverty, poor health care, and education deficits, among other challenges, continue to deprive these communities of the chance to enjoy sustainable development and decent living standards.
Exacerbating these socioeconomic hurdles is the increasingly palpable climate change.
The erratic weather patterns have manifested in devastating floods, prolonged droughts, and unusual temperature fluctuations, leading to crippling impacts on agriculture and food security, particularly in already vulnerable regions. Climate change has exposed our shared vulnerability and highlighted the need for collective, urgent action..
What we care about
We deeply care about the state of the world and what we've learned from our work
We strongly need to work with as many people and groups as possible to focus our efforts on helping people have more control over their own lives. We believe this can happen when people have a chance to speak up, when help from the government and other groups reaches their homes, and when we measure success in a way that makes sense to them.

Adding to these daunting challenges, democracy across the globe appears to be in decline. Power is increasingly consolidated in the hands of a few elites, distancing decision-making processes from ordinary citizens. The essence of democracy, characterised by the free will of the people and their active participation in governance, is under significant threat. This trend has resulted in diminished public faith in institutions and a worrying reduction in optimism and hope among citizens and civic workers.
