Let´s Empower Children Together
Create Your Impact in Africa
Supporting childhood is essential, as children are the foundation of future societies. Where they are born should not limit their rights or opportunities. The most prosperous countries are those that have allocated more resources to guarantee a dignified, healthy and happy development for their child population.
Providing time, space and human resources to improve the conditions in which children and adolescents live implies not only impacting their lives and contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, but also has a multiplying effect because by working directly with children we can indirectly work on their family, on the neighborhood and community in which they live, and so on, constituting this in a positive and beneficial social impact.
The ethical code of the Yoga Pura Vida Foundation is established as a requirement that companies and autonomous who decides to collaborate with our institution must meet. The application of the code guarantees that the self – employed and the collaborating companies comply with the minimum criteria established by the Foundation, thereby establishing a coherent task in line with the principles contained in this code.
Specifically, Fundación Yoga Pura Vida does not agree to collaborate with autonomous and companies that:
- Disrespect the International Conventions on Human Rights.
- Do not comply with the fundamental ILO Conventions, referring to forced labor, child labor and the right to unionize.
- Disrespect the environment.
- Do not respect public health either in their products or in their production processes.
- Engage in the production of weapons or technology for war.
- Are involved in cases of corruption, bribery or other illegal activities.
- Promote violence. At a general level, it will be necessary that the activity of the company is not inconsistent with the mission and values of Fundación Yoga Pura Vida.
- A clause will be included in all contracts and collaboration agreements, specifying that violating this code will be cause for immediate termination of the agreement.
Partnerships to achieve the goals and our path to meet the 2030 Agenda
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require all sectors to generate synergies and develop alliances. For the first time in history, the 2030 Agenda has granted a strategic place for the self-employed and companies to move towards sustainable global development.
At the Yoga Pura Vida Foundation, we understand that no matter the sector or size of the company, all can contribute to achieving global goals. Moreover, all businesses must assume a commitment to bettering the lives of vulnerable children.
We must continue working with more companies, NGOs and foundations, in order to ensure that children have a dignified, inclusive, happy, healthy future in conditions of safety and integrity.
