Eden Foundation
SwedenResearch/Dev
There are 250,000 known plant species in the world, but only 20 of them provide 90% of our food. We believe that the key to prosperity for the poor lie in underexploited, edible trees and bushes, the lost treasures of Eden. In Niger, we bring them trees and bushes that can grow naturally in this dry area and give food, even in times of need. Since our arrival, Eden has served more than 2600 households in the region. The trees and bushes we offer have been researched at our local field station and need neither irrigation nor chemical fertilizers to grow. The method we use is called direct seeding and is adapted to the farmers' means.

Educational Media Foundation
United StatesChildren/Education
The specters of global climate change, dwindling resources, and endless war now haunt the very future of the planet and human civilization. Our ability to transform these current realities will depend on whether we are willing and able to imagine other possible futures. The project of the Media Education Foundation has always been informed by just this: the notion that language — and, by extension, images — define the limits, and possibilities, of human imagination and thought. The stakes have never been higher, and the necessity for education never more crucial. We offer resources designed to help spark discussion about some of the most pressing, and complicated, issues of our time, in one of the last independent spheres left in the society: the classroom. Our aim is to inspire students to think critically and in new ways about the hyper-mediated world around them.

Edukans
NetherlandsChildren/Education
Edukans is a development organisation with a unique focus on basic education. Every child is entitled to have access to good quality basic education. Yet, world-wide, 80 million children do not attend school. For Edukans this is an unacceptable situation. Action has to be taken. Every child should have the opportunity to get relevant education. Edukans facilitates this in close cooperation with local partner organisations in developing countries. Edukans also recruits students in the Netherlands to take part in development work. These students gain more in-depth knowledge about the lives of their peers in developing countries and about longer-lasting, sustainable developments both in the Netherlands and the South. Basic principles and values for this so-called ‘global education’ are: ‘sharing’ and ‘living together’. This process starts in one’s own environment, but it also outreaches it: taking a stand for children in developing countries.
