About Us
The Society for the Promotion of Solidarity and Partnership, the Gespa e.V., is a non-profit organization. Since 1999, it has been dedicated to strengthening social co-responsibility in issues such as poverty, education, food security, climate and environmental protection. We work locally and globally.
We implement formats of information and education work on sustainable learning and raise awareness on topics of global learning, nature and environmental protection as well as social matters.
In cooperation with organizations from Latin America and South Asia, we work to protect mangroves and rainforests, safeguard natural resources, empower women and youth, and fight poverty.
Along the way, we work with communities to preserve and restore local ecosystems, and promote the emergence of regenerative cultures and structures.
