Leading behind our sustainable development goals, we are highly focused on 4 main points of interest. These include clean water, continuous food, lasting energy, and broader education.
As IDEA Universal, we seek out to take care of people in forgotten geographies of the world who are battling with hunger and poverty. With best interest in mind for the environment and the overall global population, we stand by following the principles: participation, accountability, impartiality, and independence.
The projects and programs we have created thus far, we have provided sustainable and permanent services to roughly 200,000 people in the areas of Gambia, Senegal, Tanzania, Madagascar, Nepal, and Zanzibar; We provided accessible water, improved agriculture, created energy sources, helped increase their income, and opened educational opportunities. With the 250 water projects stretched across these countries, the exponential growth of people that have been helped is ever increasing.
In counting, we have provided solar kits to 428 families. The benefits to using solar kits are the elimination of fire hazards from live flames and the prolongation of daylight activities, such as creating a longer study period for children in the evenings. No longer are people limited to the hours of sunlight, when now solar energy can provide artificial alternatives.
Regarding sustainable agriculture, we propagated the surrounding farmland with a variety of fruits and vegetables. 1,200 people from these families can now cultivate their land for anything from tomatoes to peppers. To date, we have continued to support these villages, and the people that occupy them, totalling to 102 Smart Village projects.
