What we are registered to do.
These are the objects the foundation is registered to pursue. Seven lead our first phase of work; all twelve remain open to us. Each page carries a plain summary and the object as registered.

Adaptation and mitigation with the communities and ecosystems most exposed to a changing climate, including disaster risk reduction and ecosystem-based adaptation.
Rural development

Education & skills
Quality and inclusive learning from early childhood onward: digital literacy, remedial and technology-enabled teaching, life skills, vocational training and teacher development.
Environment & green cover
Afforestation and urban greening, habitat and biodiversity restoration, water conservation and rainwater harvesting, and sustainable, organic agriculture.
