Our mission is to protect natural resources and promote sustainable development. Our programs focus on preserving ecosystems, waste management, and mitigating the effects of climate change, while raising environmental awareness.
We organize programs that promote dialogue between communities, reduce prejudice, and contribute to building social harmony. We believe that preserving cultural values is key to the development of communities.
Strengthening community cohesion and ensuring basic human needs are fundamental conditions for social stability. In our work, we support self-organizing initiatives of local communities and offer solutions to food and nutrition security issues.
Health preservation and healing activities are the cornerstones of the well-being of our communities. Our association works through medical missions, health programs, and community campaigns to enable as many of our fellow human beings as possible to develop a healthy lifestyle.
The Planetrise Cultural and Environmental Association was founded in 2003 by a couple of enthusiastic young people and is based in Kisvárda.
