Resource Investment

About

World Camp believes that many global problems can be alleviated if everyone commits to sharing resources and caring for others. A new impetus is needed, guiding further advancement with concrete actions to improve people’s livelihoods while conserving the environment and natural resources. As such World Camp will promote sustainable development by targeting five thematic areas, notably: Water, Energy, Health, Agriculture and Biodiversity. World camp uses human and financial investments to provide systems that bring individuals together to scale their ideas. We aim to advance the adoption of information and technology in healthcare and the environment for the purpose of improving community and global health. We chose to align with partners who work on other development projects beyond education to participate in an effective allocation of philanthropic resources. Working alongside partners who work with water, energy, health, agriculture and biodiversity creates a holistic effect within each community and a combined energy is put towards bettering themselves.

With a population of over 14 million, Malawi is the most densely populated country in sub-Saharan Africa. Malawi is also one of the poorest countries in the world; an estimated 60% of the population living in absolute poverty and less than 2% of the population has access to electricity and other forms of cooking and heating. The quality of Malawi’s land and resources is intrinsically connected to major issues surrounding poverty, public health and development in the country. Malawi is a small country in which individuals and communities largely depend on subsistence farming for survival. Without sustainable solutions for balancing the population’s resource needs with resource conservation, the country faces extreme health and environmental issues.

The need for sustainable solutions in Malawi is evidenced by the lack of capital, illiteracy, poor health, high population and environmental degradation. Therefore, sustainable development solutions must include those processes and activities that are directed at the economic, environmental and health well-being to improve the quality of life for Malawians and ecosystems without compromising the ability of future generations to meet these needs. Through global partnerships World Camp will support and inspire people from around the world to take action in support of the Millennium Development Goals.
