Our foundation is committed in sharing lessons learnt from our own projects and mistakes made by us and other organisations (with which we share similar goals). In this light, we take into consideration the impact of efforts made, review our research findings and hence communicate results. However, the following are some of the many issues we are coming across:
Health
1. Millions of people die each year, needlessly
2. Health, poverty and inequality are major concerns
3. Structural Adjustment—Major institutions cutting back on vital
health and education services
4. Large Pharmaceutical Companies—simply prioritise profit at all costs?
5. WTO—problems regarding Patents, Intellectual Property, Emergency
Drugs and Developing Countries
6. Global Health Initiatives
7. The rise in commodification and commercialization of healthcare
8. The ever changing dynamics in Global Health issues and Priorities
Education
A global education problem of some magnitude is the growing gap in education between the wealthier and poorer peoples of the world.
Environment
Plenty of environmental problems now affect our world. Research studies show that as globalization continues and the earth’s natural processes transform local problems into international issues, few societies are being left untouched by major environmental problems.
Some of the largest problems now affecting the world are;
- Acid Rain
- Air Pollution
- Global Warming
- Hazardous Waste
- Ozone Depletion
- Smog
- Water Pollution
- Overpopulation
- Rain Forest Destruction
Almost all environmental problem have causes, numerous effects, and most importantly, a solution.This is where organisations such as ours step in. We do our best in providing solutions to these growing problems.
Peace
Peace in most cases have been achieved through dialogue, understanding, and to a greater degree – tolerance. It is our objective to enhance peace anywhere in the world devastated by conflicts of sorts. This is being achieved through local and international initiatives.
Business Development
We all know starting a business is one thing, and starting a new business that has never been attempted before is another. This implies that you have to have top level skills because of the fact that many people are going to fail in business. Why is that?
Is it because some people are not prepared for business development.
Here are some of our findings that if taken seriously could make a huge difference:
Market – Remember the market is always changing. Thus you need to be concerned about this and be positive in the fact that you are getting a good grasp on the market itself.
Targeting the right customer base – we have learned over the years that you should be able to fully target the customer base that you need and know that reaching them might take a little bit of skill and a lot of talent on your part.
Research on the location of the business – are you getting all you can?
This is another major hurdle that you must cross. We advice that you completely research the location to be sure that you are getting all that you can.
