So You’ve Done Village of Solutions… What Next?

In 2015, the United Nations agreed to a set of sustainable development goals that were focused on ending poverty around the world and protecting our planet. Eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions is an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. Organisations around the world are working to find practical and innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. Supporting schools, helping farmers sell their produce at a fair price and improving access to healthcare are all ways through which communities are being transformed.

Here are just some of the ways you can get involved:
