The mission of Globe Aware is to promote cultural awareness and sustainability. This means learning about and understanding the real beauties and challenges of a culture without trying to change it. To us, promoting sustainability means helping people and communities prosper without becoming dependent on outside aid. We seek projects and solutions that will help others to live a happy, healthy, and independent life.
