WHO WE ARE Community for a Sustainable World (CSW) is a Vancouver, BC based non-profit organization founded in 2014 by Alanah Morin, Nikki Thompson and Kiana Heighton. Our purpose, mission and even our name, were born from a shared passion for the both planet and humanity. As an organization, we focus on providing long-lasting impacts inspired by the "teach a person to fish" school of thought. This ancient proverb has shaped our purpose and the philosophy lends itself as a crucial piece to developing sustainable, self-reliant communities. We recognize that the needs of our partners are diverse and unique therefore solutions are not one-size fits all. At CSW we work with communities to identify challenges and provide customized sustainable solutions. We are proud to be an entirely volunteer run organization as this allows us to use 100% of the proceeds we raise to deliver our projects in a sustainable way. We love any opportunity to work with those who share our values, so if this sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, let us know. We'd love to collaborate. OUR PURPOSE to support and develop sustainable, self-reliant communities around the globe. OUR MISSION to introduce sustainable solutions that develop self-reliant communities Through our development goals, we provide locally sourced solutions based on the needs identified by our community partners.
