Earth Focus Foundation



The Earth Focus Foundation is a Swiss foundation based in Geneva, working to empower young people to take on leadership and advocacy roles in which they actively create a more equitable and sustainable world. Earth Focus provides a platform to encourage them to express their views on the environment and global solutions to ecological problems and serves as a voice to promote these views to decision-makers as well as the public.

 

The Foundation aims to help young people understand the beauties and limits of the world in which they live and to encourage them to act and share their experience and feelings, with other communities.
