What we are geared to partake in...
NuF works alongside other organizations to train and equip communities with knowledge to improve their livelihoods from poverty to economic prosperity particularly women who shoulder the impacts of environmental degradation. Youth are equipped with knowledge on conservation.
NuF works with communities at its core reaching them with diversified messages relating to conservation efforts geared at development and protection of the environment, fostering unity through recreational efforts and opportunities for growth and support. From organizing local events to spearheading educational programs, NuF, efforts create sustainability pathways owned by communities.
The differentiated impacts of climate change on men and women are closely linked to factors leading to gender inequalities and violence. Impacts such as division of labor, domestic responsibilities, control and access to resources result from scarcity thereof. When women have rights to productive economic resources such as land, natural resources and biodiversity, access to food, energy, water and sanitation, their well-being steer equalities that lead to wholesome robust health for all.
NuF is concerned with the ability to save our environment, ensures the relationship of humans with the environment are sustainable creating a harmonious environment for people to thrive. NuF deals with a restorative approach to improve our very existence while simultaneously conserving vital resources that may take hundreds (or even thousands) of years to restore once they have become depleted.
