WORLD FOUNDATION FOR PROSPERITY AND AUTONOMY
Who are we Activities Donate/Contact References
World Foundation for Prosperity and Autonomy supports projects dealing with nutrition and agriculture which reflect the principles of prosperity and autonomy.
WHO WE ARE
According to UNICEF world statistics, in 2018, approximately 15,000 under-five deaths occurred every day, an intolerably high number of largely preventable child deaths.
The organization "WORLD FOUNDATION for PROSPERITY and AUTONOMY" treasures the goal of seeing all of the world's children living with an adequate nutrition and health. With this goal in mind, we support projects dealing with nutrition and agriculture based on the principles of prosperity and autonomy.
PROSPERITY is defined, in a 1995 statement (found in the section of "REFERENCES"), as reflecting the equality of opportunity for women and men; the right to expression in consultation of all in matters that concern their lives; and an unfettered search for truth.
AUTONOMY reflects our belief in an age-old principle: "give a man (or woman) a fish, you feed him/her for a day, teach him/her to fish and you feed him/her for a lifetime. Development which assists individuals and communities in moving toward self-reliance and expression of their innate potential rather than depending on donations for survival.
We invite you to join us on this journey to learn more about certain projects we propose and to share with us your experiences and wisdom.
ACTIVITIES
Bringing Change
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT
Community members can follow training in transformative leadership, alternative agriculture methods, leaf extraction techniques, business management, and others before applying for a microfinace loan to startup their own small agricultural business.
NUTRITION EDUCATION
We propose a project to train young people in secondary school about taking care of their own health and nutritional needs and that of young children which they will called on to do as parents.
PLANT PRODUCTION, EXTRACTION, TRANSFORMATION PROJECT
The leaves of local plants can be used to provide a source of digestible protein for young children and mothers. Originally based on the alfalfa leaves, we have used the stinging nettle (bobatsi in Lesotho) and done some research about the use of other vegetable leaves that could be a source of a concentrated protein
supplement.
