Why Charity Matters: Building Sustainable Futures with the Haller Foundation
To support our mission, donate to Haller today.
In 2012, the UN designated September 5th the International Day of Charity. Honouring Mother Teresa, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her work with impoverished communities in Calcutta. A globally recognised symbol of compassion and humanitarianism, she stands to remind us of the importance of charity in all forms.
Charity is more than just generosity, but rather an act of global responsibility. Connecting people across borders and sectors to confront poverty and build a more inclusive and sustainable world.
Across much of the developing world, charities play a vital role in delivering education, healthcare, and infrastructure. Where government services are often limited, charities fill an important gap to deliver better livelihoods for future generations.
The Haller Foundation has been operating as a charity in Kenya for over two decades, supporting smallholder communities adapting to changing climatic conditions, and providing education, healthcare, and WASH infrastructure.
One of the key pathways to deliver support is through the Nguuni Nature Sanctuary. A testament to the power of grassroots conservation and community-led change, Nguuni was once the site of a disused quarry that has been transformed into an ecological hub.
In addition to the wildlife sanctuary, Haller has supported the establishment of an education centre and health clinic connected to Nguuni. Over 6000 young people visit Nguuni every year, with access to a free library and IT suite, as well as sessions on regenerative agriculture in the kitchen garden.
Open 6 days a week, the health clinic provides diagnostic screening services, childhood immunisations, and family planning clinics. Delivering over 100,000 patient treatments since its foundation, it is a cornerstone of the communities around it.
None of the operations in Kenya would be possible without the continued support of our donors.
Donate to help us carry out our mission and establish sustainable ecosystems that support people and the planet.
