Ukraine - Rethink & Recover

The war has caused the largest housing crisis in Ukraine’s history. In the wake of the devastating impacts on residential areas, many Ukrainians have been left without safe and adequate housing. A significant 80% of refugees express hope of eventually returning to Ukraine, though many remain uncertain about when or if they will be able to do so.

Madagascar - Sanitation

Only 12.3% of Madagascar and close to 28% of schools have access to any sanitation. This along with the poor quality drinking water has an adverse affect not only on the health of the students but also on school attendance  especially female students where girls do not have access to gendered toilets and a clean place for menstrual hygiene management.

Global Homelessness

The comprehensive study, "A World Without Homelessness: Lessons from the Front Line," encapsulates our commitment to addressing one of society's most pressing challenges.
