"Never doubt that a group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has".
Australian Anthropologist Margaret Meade
There are 2 main things we are extremely passionate about: the environment and women empowerment.
We believe that there is a lot world citizens can do to solve the most pressing issues of our time: climate change and hunger & poverty. There is no time left to save the world. Bruce Willis or Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be able to save the world by themselves! If we as a group of concerned global citizens stay apathetic to such pressing issues, we can predict a "not so happy Hollywood" ending!
Over the years we have supported grass roots organisations like Amnesty, Apheda and the Hunger Project. We have recently joined Avaaz and 1millionwomen campaign to be part of a bottom up movement to make change in the world. Leaders will not be able to deliver on all the objectives for a world hungry for justice, equality and a new "realistic utopia". So we ask the Winner Tribe to join us in supporting such grass roots organisations that aim to change the world through its people.
Organizations we support
AI is internationally recognized organization promoting for human rights.
Avaaz is a new global web movement with a simple democratic mission: to close the gap between the world we have, and the world most people everywhere want. Their world wide campaigns focus on climate change, Tibet, Burma, Zimbabwe, Israel and Paletine, Iraq, food crisis and many others.
Founded by business woman Natalie Isaacs (one of the many ambassadors trained by former American Vice President Al Gore to deliver his climate change message worldwide), the 1m campaign aims at inspiring 1 million Australian women to take part in climate change and reduce carbon emissions. It's a practical step by step system to reduce your household carbon emissions.
The Hunger Project is a strategic organization and global movement committed to the sustainable end of world hunger. In Africa, Asia and Latin America, they empower local people to create lasting society-wide progress in health, education, nutrition and family incomes. Their highest priority is the empowerment of women.
APHEDA is committed in seeking out justice and human rights. The union works with countries and regions where men and women workers are disadvantaged through poverty, a lack of workplace / human rights and civil conflict.
WVI aims to help communities that are less fortunate by providing emergency relief, education, health care, economic development and promotion of justice.
