As part of our sustainability approach to protecting the environment in Palabek refugee settlement, we have opened tree nursery beds to continue providing refugee community with trees to plant in their homes.

One tree saves a life.

Climate change, a crucial SDG 13 issue, demands action from youth. While awareness is high, deeper education is lacking. Are global efforts adequately preparing young leaders for effective climate action?

This month, Palabek refugee settlement makes 7 years since its inception. The deteriorating living conditions which leads to more community violence calls for more attention in peace building initiatives. We supported refugee talent shows as a way of bringing youth together.
