Story

The combined elements of poverty,

disease and the destruction of the

environment are the most pressing

problems in the world.

 

SWORDE-Teppa aims to help combat these linked problems promoting sustainable world development within the environment.

SWORDE-Teppa strongly believes that the physical and mental health of the community is dependent on the health of their man-made and natural environment.

Amongst other benefits, a healthy environment provides sustainable resources such as; food, shelter, health, leisure, power and economic gains. Similarly, a healthy, content and more prosperous community will ensure a healthier environment and the protection of fauna and flora.

SWORDE-Teppa believes that it is essential to bring a stable, prosperous and healthier way of life to the community. This is especially true in areas of the world where an unhappy population with little future to look forward to could find itself in a situation leading to mass emigration, civil strife, war, terrorism and possible knock-on effects in neighbouring and other countries around the world.

These effects will almost inevitably affect the environment, bring poverty and disease and thus compound an already serious and potentially tragic situation.
