Powerful Partnerships
Bringing people together to create positive change
Read about the impact
We aspire to a world where local and global communities come together to take action for positive change. A vision of the world defined by the guiding principles of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
It’s ambitious, so are we, and we’ve grappled with our effective contribution in this space. Recognising the limitations of our skills and the power of our enthusiasm, we work in five key global action areas. Areas where we can confidently and responsibly make a meaningful impact.
We don’t work from ivory towers at head office but through powerful partnerships that are driving community led initiatives on the ground. Our collaborations with communities are always motivated by an open dialogue with local people so we’re strategically supporting their ambitions, not ours. We’re motivated by this approach and aim to inspire a lifetime of action. We hope this is just the start.
We work in five key global action areas:
Community Engagement
We are a World Animal Protection signatory and are proud to be involved with collaborations between local cooperatives and the muleteers we use when trekking
We’re proud to announce our partnership with Rethink Orphanages working to stop orphanage tourism around the world. We no longer work with residential care homes and are working to promote our shared belief in an alternative, family based care model. Read more by downloading our positioning statement here.
We’re advocates of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and our global action areas support the vision
We’re pro-planet. We’ve taken the TAP pledge and issue water purification so we don’t contribute to plastic water bottle waste
