Projects we are focusing on
Totness Zee dijk Communal Center
CSA Suriname
Totness, Suriname, is building a communal Sea Coast Center to empower the local community and protect its coastal environment. This center will offer interactive exhibits on marine life, educational programs on sustainable practices, and community gathering spaces. Additionally, it will create eco-tourism opportunities, supporting the local economy. By promoting environmental awareness and providing resources for education and development, the Sea Coast Center aims to build a sustainable future for Totness and the entire Coronie district. Join us in making this vision a reality through your donations and support.
Our Suriname-based Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) initiative is focused on improving the health of the Black diaspora in the USA and EU. We achieve this by providing traditional herbal medicines and health foods sourced directly from Surinamese farmers. This approach not only addresses health disparities but also empowers local communities through fair trade practices and sustainable agriculture. By emphasizing cultural preservation and knowledge transmission, we celebrate the rich heritage of Suriname and the African diaspora. Our CSA fosters a supportive community, offering resources and a platform for dialogue on health, cultural identity, and sustainability.
