We are supporting coolearth.org, a non-profit aiming to do just as their name suggests, keep the planet cool and combat global warming. Trees are the ultimate natural carbon-storing technology, so this organisation puts an emphasis on preventing deforestation.
What they do:
Across the Amazon, Congo and New Guinea, Cool Earth have managed to store 48m tonnes of carbon. All of their projects are people powered, and your donation tackles the root of the deforestation problem: poverty. They fund healthcare, food security, education, livelihoods and infrastructure so that through social equality, local communities will be motivated to leave trees in the ground.
From LYR:
At LYR we believe sport changes lives and should be available to all, regardless of background, gender, ethnicity or otherwise. We use rowing as a tool to get young people active and learning crucial life skills, necessary for success in the classroom and workplace. Rowing offers an opportunity to enjoy sport outside of traditional school activities and nurtures qualities like determination and resilience. From Hounslow to Barking and Dagenham, our outreach programmes work with over 70 schools and around 9000 young people each year.
