Global Exploration and Wilde Ganzen, the Netherlands (2012)
In 2012, our lodge received a funding of Euro 35000.00 with the goal of establishing a sustainable eco-lodge. The primary objectives of this initiative were to provide employment opportunities for local youth, preserve the local environment and nature, empower local women through skill training, generate sufficient income for the women in the community, and raise awareness among locals about sustainable practices. The realization of these goals would not have been possible without the generous support we received.
