We want you!

WHY: As you already active members know ABC is an independent non-profit volunteer organization established in Lund since 1998. We have international collaborations in Nepal and India as well as local projects. These range from urban gardens to youth centers and all focus on sustainability. Through the promotion of gender equality, human rights, Fairtrade and positive environmental impacts we are inspired to create positive change in society. ABC is a non-profit organization on voluntary basis. We need active and supportive members to realize the vision statement to bring people together to enable the transition towards sustainable and empowered communities. We want to make a change and we want to do it together! ABC can only be as active as our members – so let’s connect more people!

HOW: We have created a template to share with your family, friends and network filled with information about ABC and how to get involved.

NEED MORE REASONS? The 19th of April we will wrap up the membership campaign with a brunch! The brunch will be a chance to meet the members and board of ABC, to learn about the project, taste and buy our delicious range of Fairtrade products and workshops in upcycling!
So, let’s spread the word of ABC together! Numerous members give ABC more legitimacy as an independent NGO and will make change and transition happen! Thank you for your contribution and we look forward seeing you on the brunch!
