Our mission is to protect natural resources and promote sustainable development. Our programs focus on preserving ecosystems, waste management, and mitigating the effects of climate change, while raising environmental awareness.
We organize programs that promote dialogue between communities, reduce prejudice, and contribute to building social harmony. We believe that preserving cultural values is key to the development of communities.
Strengthening community cohesion and ensuring basic human needs are fundamental conditions for social stability. In our work, we support self-organizing initiatives of local communities and offer solutions to food and nutrition security issues.
Health preservation and healing activities are the cornerstones of the well-being of our communities. Our association works through medical missions, health programs, and community campaigns to enable as many of our fellow human beings as possible to develop a healthy lifestyle.

You might remember that in 2022, we were in Uganda with the Jane Goodall Institute as part of the "Harbors and School Boats to Uganda!" project, supported by Hungary Helps. At the school on Bwama Island in Lake Bunyonyi, 400 children attend, and only a few of them can swim.
We participated in the Jane Goodall Institute's nationwide tour at the event held in Debrecen. The "Let's Change the World! – Together on the Path of Hope, at Home and in Africa" program took place at the headquarters of the Hajdú-Bihar County Chamber of Commerce and Industry on March 9, 2024.
