Play a part in the worldwide effort to support the UN’s 2030 Global Goals
In 2016, the United Nations provided a policy framework for global action when it unanimously adopted the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In July 2022, ReWrite Our Story was recognized with its own listing on the UN Partnership Platform as SDG Acceleration Action 47972. As you will see on our dedicated page on the UN website or in the adjoining video, the program offers a practical and affordable way for the average person to participate in the UN’s vision of a more sustainable, inclusive and prosperous future through addressing 12 of the 2030 Goals!
What are our global “Sustainable Goals”?
“Sustainability meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” – The United Nations
How well do you think we are doing?
Poverty & FOOD INSECURITY
We produce enough food for 150% of earth’s inhabitants, but hunger or malnutrition takes a life every 10 seconds.
Climate Action & Sustainability
Every week we may be ingesting an average of 5 grams of microplastics, the equivalent of a credit card….
Environmental & Wildlife Conservation
1-2% of forests across the globe are cut down each year and around 30,000 species are being driven to extinction.
HUMAN potential & EMPOWERMENT
Globally, 1.6 billion children are out of school and 750 million adults– two thirds of them, women– are illiterate.

ReWrite Our Story is built on 4 key pillars, which will enable you to make a personal contribution to tackling critical humanitarian and environmental challenges at our chosen project location in Madagascar.
Relieve Poverty: Provide both work and fair income for communities living in extreme poverty through a unique “Employ to Plant” program. Play a role in tackling global inequality, reducing hunger and providing healthcare, as we create sustainable livelihoods through reforestation.
Poverty & Food Insecurity: Impact Global Goals 1, 2, 3 & 4
Human Potential & Empowerment: Impact Goals 5, 8 & 10
Restore Nature: Make a tangible contribution to the environmental conditions in Madagascar, where 90% of the primary forests have been destroyed countries. Most mangrove species only grow along coastlines, which are essential breeding grounds for ocean life, so reforesting mangrove forests also helps restore fisheries and estuary systems.
Environmental & Wildlife Conservation: Impact Goals 6, 14 & 15
Remove Carbon: Remove carbon through this reforestation on the world’s fourth largest island, which has seen the deforestation of 90% of its primary forests. We focus exclusively on mangroves, which sequester carbon at a rate up to 5 times greater than mature tropical forests.

The Platinum Seal of Transparency is a rating that puts Purpose on the Planet in the top 1% of charities nationally in terms of transparency and means that we have shared clear information with the public about our goals, strategies, capabilities, achievements and progress indicators.
