Better Globe, is a Norwegian based international organization that is dedicated to eradicating poverty in Africa in the next 20 years. Recently, they were in Mariehamn to introduce their organization and also pave way for the establishment of a sub branch on the Island.
During a power point presentation at Café Sollen, it was disclosed that, they are involved in tree planting, agriculture and education. Better Globe intends to plant five billion trees in Africa, within the next twenty years.
As majority of Africans continue to survive on 1 US dollar a day, Better Globe is with the strong conviction that supporting farmers to earn more money for themselves, can help a lot in improving the living condition of millions of Africans. Among their plans, is to start a micro finance bank that will make money available to poor farmers.
Better Globe also believes that if children in Africa do not get free primary education, there is no way any African country will be able to eradicate poverty.
In a brief chat, the girl behind the creation of the Åland sub branch, disclosed that they are poised to attract lot of members on the Island. Already, they are on the move and the focal point person can be reached on +46 707590171. You can also visit their homepage www.betterglobe.com.
