It’s our only planet, we are custodians of our grandchildren’s future:
Yes, after years of debate the settled consensus is that we must take much more responsibility for the world we live in.
But now we see what’s at stake we can tackle the future with great optimism. It is well within our powers to take the thousands of actions large and small to fashion an encouraging future.
Repair. We can help fix the damage already done
to skies, rivers, seas, and land.
Sustain. No more plundering nature! Our future can and must be managed sustainably.
Restrain. 8 billion mouths to feed, soon to be 10.
Better healthcare and more equitable life opportunities can moderate our social norms and in time lead to population restraint.
How have we been doing? What world are we handing to generations to come ? Poisoned seas & skies? Deforestation? Floods, forest fires? Widescale extinctions, famines, pandemics? Mass migration? Wars driven by need, greed and envy?
C’mon – we can do better than that! On this website are some practical initiatives you can join in.
Direct. Aimed at less advantaged communities where we can replace envy with hope, where the benefits will come through fastest.
Small enough that we can see for real the difference we make. Too small to dent the immense challenges we all face? Just imagine if one in a thousand of us helped out with just one small initiative. That would be a whopping eight million projects…

ESTABLISHED ORGANISATIONS WE SUPPORT
Yesterday over one thousand infants died from malaria.
It’ll be the same today…. and tomorrow.
There are plenty of other killers stalking developing nations. Little wonder large families are still seen by many as a necessary insurance against the future. Population restraint? Let’s start with better life expectations.
The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine has been at the forefront of research & development since Britain’s 1st Nobel Prize winner, (Sir Ronald Russ, 1902) became professor here.
– Population restraint starts with sound education – especially of girls.
– Food security demands agricultural efficiencies – that starts with access to the expanding on-line knowledge base.
– Global health needs the promotion of sound social practices as much as the advance of medical science.
Education East Africa gives practical training and support to local primary teachers of English. Access to the knowledge needed.
Can we really make a difference? Of course we must and we can. For example, as soon as it was understood that Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were depleting the ozone layer, they were promptly replaced by less harmful refrigerants. Now the ozone ‘hole’ above Antarctica is recovering.
Today we recognise the consequences of our CO2 and Methane emissions. Temperatures are rising, energising the weather, making it more erratic. Promptly, new carbon-free power generation industries have been encouraged – King Coal is no more. Housing insulation, electric cars; all positive developments. There’s still a long long way to go but we’re pointing in the right direction.
“My hope is that (my grandchildren) will grow up in a world where they are able to look back on this dangerous passage through this narrows of history and say ‘Wow, humanity really did step up and meet this challenge in time,’ and I hope they’ll feel great about it.” Al Gore, 2024
There’s time to mend our ways as long as we get on with it – we all have a positive part to play. We can’t sit back and leave it to ‘Them‘ to sort things. ‘They‘ can’t/won’t progress anything without widescale backing – from us. The best way of demonstrating that backing is for us to take positive, constructive action.
Curious? Click any of the thumbnails above for more details. Our projects are focused on Africa for a reason – this is where investment in healthcare, agriculture and education has been most neglected – leaving millions suffering poor life expectancy, food insecurity and limited access to the basic learning they need to progress. That’s precisely why that Africa’s the place where progress can be fastest, so it’s not all dire news at all. You can help if you like, or pitch in with your own initiatives. We’d love to hear from you.
ACTIONS YOU CAN TAKE TO HELP
Help repair the damage. Something we can all join in.

...WHAT ARE WE MISSING?………
Our hands are full! We’re not tackling anything about the state of our seas, lakes or rivers – even though over 70% of our planet’s surface is covered with water. If anyone has a project to propose, just let us know.
...AND FINALLY………
The Lowdown.
