Our focus areas

Healthy Environment

Human wellbeing and the natural world belong together.

Explore clean environments, healthy ecosystems, and the places that sustain communities.

Start with the community

Meaningful work begins by listening to the people closest to the need. Ask what they identify as priorities, what is already working, and what support would be useful over time.

Questions worth asking

  • Who is shaping the work and making decisions?
  • How will a project remain useful and maintained?
  • How will progress, challenges, and use of funds be reported?
  • Does the approach respect dignity, access, and local knowledge?

Partner projects
