Through a global network of partners, the Gaia Foundation assists local communities to strengthen their resilience to deal with the multiple crises we face today – from ecosystem destruction and climate change to social and economic inequities.Together we aim to:
Return full control to local people over what food they grow, eat and sell, over the care of their natural environment, over how they ensure a sustainable life for their community.
Ensure that the ecological knowledge held by these diverse communities is respected and drawn upon in the international search for ways of dealing with climate change and loss of biodiversity.
Assist them in resisting further destruction and exploitation of their land, forests and rivers.
A monthly donation from you will ensure that we can continue our 25-year track record of support to communities across Africa, South America, Asia and Europe.
You can support any UK registered charity, including the University of Edinburgh.
You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations and you can easily change your nominated charity or the amount you are giving at any time. If your chosen charity is not listed on the online donation form or it is a specific area within the University of Edinburgh, you can still support them. Just make sure to include their name and charity number on the form
