SAWA World

To foster the spread of local solutions to end extreme poverty. Sawa works with local media partners to train unemployed youth as skilled citizen journalists. They document the Sawa Leaders’ successful methods on video, present them to surrounding communities and encourage the replication of their solutions among others who live in extreme poverty. Through this process they then identify new Sawa Leaders and ultimately become employed advocates for these emerging solutions.

Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with an active network of over 40 cities in 14 countries, Sustainable Cities is a think tank and a "do tank," delivering results through practical demonstration projects and peer learning networks, and scaling those lessons out through affiliations and high-profile events.

Our aim is to build a constituency of global citizens committed to voluntarism, international development and social action in the new millennium. We do this by developing partnerships with countries from the South, organizing volunteer cooperative placements and internships, and by educating the public on development issues.
