We create seed collection networks within rural communities and capacitate families including women and children to produce the tree saplings. We use sponsorship money to buy the saplings, transport them to participating family farm owned by a Costa Rican family. We pay workers to plant the trees and build protective fences. For 4 years afterwards, we return to chop grasses and maintain the trees until they reach safe height for survival. We return to each family farm once a year and prescribed times, we allow the family to harvest some lumber through the thinning process. The family can collect all fruits. Our plantings are highly diverse native species. We also engage in regular education porgrams around Costa Rica and the globe through building networks fo special tree friends. Our Mission is to create win win win relationships among people who want to offset their carbon footprint and thereby share their resources with those struggling to live with the remaining rainforest on their land. Giving local people alternative income streams long term by planting valuable lumber within each project teaches and empowers locals to plant trees for cutting instead of illegally cutting the rainforest. Planting trees in high diversity insures protection of flora andf fauna and watersheds.

Community Outreach RSPN, through the Rural Support Programmes (RSPs), is operating in 152 districts working with over 8.68 million poor households (56 million people) that have been organised through a three-tiered social mobilisation approach (figure on right). At the first level (the neighbourhood), rural households are organised into Community Organisations (COs) consisting of members from 10-15 households. Most often, women and men have their own CBOs. CBOs commit to have monthly meetings, start a savings programme and choose trustworthy leaders who are then trained by the RSP. At the second tier, the COs are federated at the village level into Village Organisations (VOs), through their leaders. And, at the third tier, VOs federate at the union council level (lowest tier of government administrative structure) to form a Local Support Organisation (LSO) with representatives from all levels. To date, RSPN has organised almost 8.7 million rural households (58.5 million people) in the form of 535,211 COs, of which 53% are women's COs, 44,762 VOs, of which 76% are women VOs and a total of 2,471 LSOs, of which 45% are women LSOs. The social capital RSPN has developed is in partnership with its member RSPs and is a unique and incomparable resource. The membership of these community institutions is diverse i.e. inclusive of religious minorities, people with special needs, youth, poor and vulnerable populations. By engaging these community institutions, RSPN/RSPs have implemented many initiatives/programmes that have been 'contextualised' and tailored to local conditions, in areas of livelihood improvement, women's economic empowerment, micro enterprise development, family planning, Maternal Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH), Disaster Risk Reduction, agriculture and climate resilience, renewable energy, etc. An existing network of community institutions means that project start-up is quick, and implementation is effective due to RSPN's long-standing relationship with community institutions across the country.

Echo is a mobile library, educational hub and pop-up community space for refugees, displaced and vulnerable people in Athens and the surrounding area. Our aim is not only to provide books in mother tongue languages to those most isolated but to act as a source of information, a facilitator of language and music classes, and a space for conversation, play and support. We operate in refugee camps and community spaces in Athens and the surrounding Attica area, loaning books in Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Kurmanji, English, Greek, German, French and Turkish, as well as providing language learning resources and attempting to respond to the specific needs of each space we visit. Our goal is to allow displaced and vulnerable groups to access the resources that many of us take for granted. To allow each person to gain some autonomy back through personal reading and learning decisions. We hope to support people on their own journey, to enable individuals to make their own decisions. We support self study through helping students access online university courses, providing Greek lessons and language learning materials, and suggesting learning apps and classes around Athens. Our ethos is that time is valuable and that each person who is stuck waiting, in a refugee camp, on the street, in a squat, should not allow their time to be devalued. We welcome men, women, children, old and young, and hope to support each person in every way we can, to show respect and solidarity while encouraging personal growth through education.

Our mission at Light of Nation Youth Projects (LNYP) is to create a thriving, inclusive, and empowered youth community by providing access to skills development, economic opportunities, health education, and social support. We are deeply committed to ensuring that young people, especially those from marginalized and disadvantaged backgrounds, have the resources and opportunities to break the cycle of poverty and achieve economic independence. Empowering Youth Through Skills Development We recognize that one of the biggest barriers young people face is the lack of marketable skills that enable them to secure employment or start their own businesses. Through our various training programs, we equip youth with practical, income-generating skills that prepare them for sustainable careers. Whether through vocational training, digital literacy, or entrepreneurship development, we ensure that each young person who engages with our programs leaves with valuable skills that can be applied in real-world scenarios. Our commitment extends to young people with disabilities, who often face additional barriers in accessing education and employment. Through initiatives like the Creativity Beyond Disability Project, we provide tailored skills training, mentorship, and business support, ensuring that no one is left behind. Driving Economic Growth Through Job Creation and Entrepreneurship We believe that empowering young people goes beyond training-it involves creating real opportunities for economic participation. Many of our programs focus on helping youth transition from skills acquisition to practical application, whether through job placements, business incubation, or market access support. We offer mentorship and guidance to young entrepreneurs, helping them develop sustainable business models, access funding opportunities, and navigate the challenges of running their own enterprises. By fostering a culture of entrepreneurship, we enable youth to create their own paths to financial independence rather than waiting for job opportunities that may never come. Additionally, our income-generating initiatives, such as merchandising and arts and crafts production, provide participants with hands-on experience in business operations. We aim to support young entrepreneurs in establishing their brands, connecting with customers, and scaling their businesses to generate sustainable income. Promoting Health Awareness and Gender Equality At LNYP, we understand that economic empowerment is closely linked to overall well-being. This is why we integrate health promotion and gender equality advocacy into our programs. Through our HIV/AIDS prevention initiatives, we educate youth on safe practices, access to healthcare services, and the importance of regular testing and treatment adherence. We also recognize the intersection between economic vulnerability and gender-based violence (GBV). Women and girls, especially those with disabilities, are often at higher risk of exploitation and abuse due to their financial dependence on caregivers or partners. Our programs aim to reduce these risks by empowering young women with economic independence, allowing them to make informed choices about their futures and reduce their vulnerability to abuse. By addressing these critical social issues, we are not only equipping youth with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed but also fostering a safer and more supportive environment in which they can thrive. Building a Stronger, More Inclusive Community We believe that sustainable change comes from within the community. This is why our programs are designed to be community-driven, with active participation from local leaders, businesses, and stakeholders. We work closely with community-based organizations, government agencies, and private sector partners to ensure that our initiatives are aligned with broader development goals and have a lasting impact. Our commitment to inclusion means that we actively create spaces where all young people, regardless of their backgrounds or abilities, feel valued and supported. We advocate for accessibility, equal opportunities, and policies that promote social and economic inclusion for all. Our Long-Term Vision Our goal is to create a future where every young person has the skills, confidence, and support to succeed. Over the next five years, we aim to: -Train over 2,500 youth in practical, income-generating skills. -Increase employment rates among youth with disabilities by 40%. -Support the sale of 1,500+ handmade products annually to help young entrepreneurs generate income. -Reduce gender-based violence vulnerability by empowering young women with financial independence. -Establish sustainable community hubs where youth can access continuous training, mentorship, and business support. Through these efforts, we are not just providing temporary solutions-we are laying the foundation for a future where young people are the driving force behind their own success and the development of their communities. At Light of Nation Youth Projects, we believe that empowering youth is the key to transforming communities. Together, we can build a future where every young person has the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society.
