Description
We develop and empower communities, making people happier and the environment cleaner. Our goal is to change behaviors to our communities.
Our mission is to educate, sustain and innovate communities and our goal is to protect people and the environment by changing mindsets and behaviors for the better.
We want to replicate success models from NGO’s from other countries in our interethnic communities.
We see exchange visits abroad as a good opportunity to learn different models from possible partners in order to apply in our country behaviors and mentalities that might change communities for the better. We met five NGO’s from Norway, already due to an old project and found that visit very benefic.
