www.aidg.org stands for everything Club of Pioneers believes in: a sustainable and fair future for everybody on this planet. We see in the discussions about global warming and climate change often a very self-centrated point of view. There might be a slight tendency to lower the efforts if one own's country seems not to be affected that much.
To
www.aidg.org it is clear that we all have to stand united and build a future for everybody - for example by working on it that each and every one has access to clean water.
The organisation offers internships for those who want to take a stance by acting, working for a sustainable future.
Here is a part of the Mission-Statement of AIDG:
Roughly 2 billion people do not have access to basic services such as electricity, clean drinking water and sanitation. Development of this infrastructure is essential to breaking the cycle of poverty in developing countries.
The Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group (AIDG) works to provide rural villages in developing countries with affordable and environmentally sound technologies that meet these needs. Through a combination of business incubation, education, training, and outreach, the AIDG helps individuals and communities gain access to technology that will improve their lives.
Our model provides a novel approach to sustainable development by empowering people with the physical tools and practical knowledge to solve infrastructure problems in their own communities.
