The inspiration and leadership for our work comes from the communities we serve. We believe that empowering local communities to address pressing social, economic and environmental challenges according to their own vision and their own creative potential is the key to lasting solutions.

Together, with thousands of like-minded groups around the planet, we are committed to building a better world - one based on "respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice and a culture of peace" as expressed in the words of the Earth Charter.

We believe that by utilizing the abundant resources available to all human beings - the mind's unlimited creativity, the heart's unbounded capacity for love and the abundant forces of life that flow through all the kingdoms of nature - such a world is possible....
