Our integrated model advances four SGD-aligned pillars: 

1. Education
Classrooms that spark lifelong learning.

2. Health

Primary care and preventive services within walking distance.

3. Entrepreneurship

Skills and micro-ventures that keep wealth in the village.

4. Environment

Stewardship that safeguards the land and sustains it all.

In alignment with Angola’s commitments under the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), Fundação Cuerama advances community-driven conservation and climate action.

By linking local action to global frameworks—including the GBF and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)—we ensure that community leadership contributes to both local resilience and planetary health.
