How do we do it?
Initiatives that create a direct impact.
We accomplish this by partnering with, leading, and investing in efforts that engage governments, communities, and private organizations. Together, we set goals to reduce or eliminate pressing issues. We assess needs and address challenges that may include sustainable farming, infrastructure development, education, violence reduction, and human rights, among others.
