Celebrating 15 Years of Impact🌍 Since the launch of our initial projects in 2009 and the official creation of the Livelihoods Funds in 2011, our mission has been clear: we drive solutions to reverse the trend of climate change, preserve our planet’s natural resources, and support the livelihoods of rural and agricultural communities across all continents. Are you familiar with the 2 key convictions that have been driving our action for over a decade? 1) Community Involvement: Large-scale transformation is impossible without the direct involvement of the local communities who depend on nature for their food, income, and lives. 2) Collaborative Efforts: Major sustainable transitions require coalitions between local communities, governments, and private & public stakeholders. No single actor can achieve these monumental changes alone. 🚀 Our Journey: Through 15 years of dedicated work on the ground, Livelihoods has launched and supported numerous projects that embody these principles. Our tackle various challenges in agriculture, forestry, biodiversity, climate, and the development of non-timber forest products. Here’s to many more years of impactful projects and sustainable transformations! Want to travel to Madagascar? Guatemala? Kenya, or the Philippines?
