We help sustainably
A sustainable approach is at the heart of our vision – to build a better future for children and entire communities.
Our projects create long-term impact in the communities we serve. That’s why we always plan school reconstruction with respect for the environment, social equity, and responsible governance.
For us, sustainability also means being accountable to the donors and partners who share our vision of meaningful and lasting support.
We would like to thank Ernst & Young Audit, s.r.o. and the team at Climate Change and Sustainability Services for their support and invaluable help in preparing our strategy.
