Vegan Education Programmes Grant Proposal

Healthy Living For People & The Planet

Our passion for bringing education to thousands of schools, colleges, universities and communities drives us both daily. We are delighted to see so many supporters worldwide assisting with our mission. Our crowdfunder project is moving right along. We have also received several private donations to contribute toward our matching grant. You can download our full grant proposal here which gives an in-depth understanding of our vision.

Food is the most intimate biological connection between the environment and us. The food we eat is a central issue in creating a sustainable future for all life on earth, both human and non-human. 

Even though this is continually recognised by international organisations, governments, medical experts and economists it is usually placed under the heading of “things to do in the future”.  Any urgency of action is buried under the weight of economic concerns, nutritional mythologies and cultural habits.

This is an issue of survival, for us, the animals and the natural world. The outlook does not need to be grim. People have the capacity to change, particularly when they understand the challenges and appreciate the benefits.  It only takes a pebble to start a landslide. 

The motivation that leads people to change to a vegan life are varied.  Connections need to be made between the moral, social, health and environmental areas of impact. It is human actions that drive the present crisis, without changes in attitude we face a dangerous future. 

Our intention has always been to provide education on the ways that people can create a healthy way of vegan living providing practical strategies to the barriers to change and an unapologetic and practical approach to solutions.
