About us
Our Mission
Our world faces many global challenges, but communities of concerned individuals and schools are growing to counteract their negative impacts. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to making a difference in our communities.
Since the 1970s, the United Nations has challenged nations to allocate 0.7% of their Gross National Income to support sustainable development. Our goal is to encourage international schools around the world to take up this challenge and commit 0.7% of their revenue to sustainable development projects within their schools and surrounding communities.
Through deliberate actions, schools can make profound changes to their environmental footprint, school curriculum, and the lives of community members. We hope you will join us as we work to make change at the local level.
Empowering schools to champion sustainable development
Changing the world is possible, and our schools have a track record of doing it.
