WHAT WE STAND FOR
Stop Poverty
Despite widespread perception, extreme poverty has significantly decreased over the past two decades. Nevertheless, 736 million people still struggle with extreme poverty. In 2015, global leaders convened at the United Nations (UN) to address this issue and established 17 Global Goals, including Global Goal 1: No Poverty, which aims to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere.” With a decade remaining to meet the UN’s crucial 2030 deadline, here is a comprehensive overview of what is at stake.
Advocate for Equality
Every individual, regardless of their location, should have an equitable opportunity to fulfill their complete potential.
In an increasingly interconnected world, the fight for equality transcends borders. It’s a collective call to action, reminding us that irrespective of our geographic location, we share the responsibility to champion equal rights, opportunities, and justice for all. By working together, we can break down barriers, dismantle discrimination, and create a world where diversity is celebrated, and every individual’s potential is fully realized. Let’s unite to ensure a future where everyone, no matter where they are, can live in a society founded on fairness, compassion, and respect. Together, we are stronger, and together, we can make a difference.
Protect the Environment
The world’s most impoverished individuals make the smallest contributions yet endure the harshest consequences of the climate crisis. Climate change adversely affects their well-being, access to nourishing food, and means of making a living
What connects Leonardo DiCaprio, Pope Francis, and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights? They’ve leveraged their platforms to underscore the profound correlation between poverty and climate change, asserting that one cannot be resolved without addressing the other. Pope Francis has decried the lack of action on climate change as “a brutal act of injustice toward the poor.” DiCaprio wisely observed that “the environment and the plight of the world’s impoverished are inherently intertwined.” In 2019, Philip Alston, the UN rapporteur, warned of an impending “climate apartheid.” Climate change casts its shadow globally, but its impacts are disproportionately shouldered by the most vulnerable populations worldwide.
GET TO KNOW US
Our mission is to promote human rights, foster social and economic development, protect the environment, and provide humanitarian aid in cases of conflict or natural disasters.
Our vision is best expressed in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of 17 global objectives adopted by all UN member states in 2015. These goals encompass areas such as ending poverty and hunger, ensuring access to quality education and healthcare, promoting gender equality, addressing climate change, and fostering sustainable economic growth. Our vision is for a world where these goals are realized, and all people can live in dignity, prosperity, and peace.
Our ambition is to transform the lives of those living in despair within impoverished communities by providing comprehensive support and sustainable solutions. We aim to alleviate immediate suffering through essential aid while empowering individuals with the tools and opportunities needed to break the cycle of poverty. By focusing on education, healthcare, and social services, we strive to create a future where every person has the chance to thrive, regardless of their circumstances. Our commitment is to foster hope, dignity, and self-reliance in the most vulnerable populations, ensuring no one is left behind.
Through videos, photos, and location tracking, our donors can easily and transparently follow their donations. Additionally, we maintain a database with the names, addresses, and phone numbers (if available) of the recipients of our food packages and other forms of aid. This allows donors to contact the beneficiaries directly at any time. This system ensures traceable accountability and transparency, showing the exact flow of each donation.
Even though we operate in countries outside the European Union, we adhere to EU privacy regulations and always seek consent for public releases via media and other communication channels.
The projects that the Vismada Foundation aims to realize focus on:
- Education
- Healthcare
- Social services
