Children’s Rights, Wellbeing, and Dreams for a Sustainable World

🌍 Universal Children’s Day: Children’s Rights, Wellbeing, and Dreams for a Sustainable World

Today, November 20th, we celebrate Universal Children’s Day – a day dedicated to raising awareness about children’s rights and wellbeing across the globe. At BOOST The World, this theme is close to our hearts. Children are not only the future; they reflect the values we live by today.

In Hoedspruit, South Africa, we work every day to create an environment where children have access to healthy food, education, and a safe space to play and learn. But our mission goes beyond physical resources. We believe every child has the right to love, care, and wisdom — universal values that form the foundation of a peaceful and sustainable society.

Children’s Rights Are Human Rights

The right to education, protection from violence, access to healthcare, and the right to dream – these are not privileges but fundamental rights. Yet, for millions of children worldwide, these rights remain out of reach. BOOST The World is committed to changing that, both locally and globally.

How Can We Contribute in the Netherlands?

We can make a difference here too. For example, by creating school projects focused on children’s rights and the power of dreams. Imagine children learning about their own rights and those of others, while exploring how they can help build a world where peace, sustainability, and equality are the norm.

We invite schools to collaborate with BOOST The World on creative projects where children express their dreams for the future — through art, stories, presentations, or community actions. Dreams of a world where love, care, and wisdom are shared by all people, regardless of origin, belief, or background.

Building a Better World Together

Universal Children’s Day reminds us that we all play a role in the wellbeing of children. Whether you are a parent, teacher, volunteer, or simply someone who cares about the future — your involvement matters.

At BOOST The World, we continue to build a world where children can thrive. Will you join us? Send your email to info@boosttheworld.org.

Leadership from the Heart changes the World

We can endlessly talk about the past. About why something didn’t work. Why it was difficult. Why abundance or growth seemed to be ‘for others.’

But here is the truth that we live every day within BOOST The World: true change doesn’t start in your past but in your presence. It doesn’t matter how much you have struggled, how limited your start seemed, or how often you have fallen along the way.

Those are stories that have shaped you, but they don’t define who you are today.

Reality moves with who you now choose to be.
Not with your old wounds.
Not with the excuses your mind whispers.
Not with the patterns you are trying to heal.
Heart-centered leadership asks for something different: that you dare to be present with an open heart in the midst of chaos; that you choose to lead not from survival, but from connection, compassion, and truth.

At BOOST The World, we believe that leadership does not work in time. It works in frequency. In identity. In decision. Every time you choose love over fear, collaboration over control, service over status, you not only change your own life, but also the world around you.

So ask yourself today:
Who am I if I stop carrying old stories?
Who am I if I no longer have to justify my limitations?
Who am I if I truly believe that I can embody abundance, power, and freedom NOW, and that my choices have an impact on others?
Because that is heart-centered leadership. It is not a position. It is a choice. A choice to lead from your heart, and to impact the world through who you are.

From BOOST The World, we invite leaders to remember their hearts, live their truth, and make a difference from within. Join our movement. Not because you are perfect. But because you are willing to be present.

Be the change. Lead from love.

World Food Day 2025 – Building Sustainable Food Security in Hoedspruit

Today, October 16th, we celebrate World Food Day — a global moment to reflect on the importance of food security and sustainable agriculture. At BOOST The World in Hoedspruit, South Africa, this is not just a theme — it’s our daily mission.

From Vulnerability to Resilience

Hoedspruit is a region facing challenges like drought, poverty, and limited access to fresh produce. BOOST The World has established a nursery: an educational garden where fruits and vegetables are grown not only for consumption, but also as a learning space. Children and youth are taught about permaculture, regenerative farming, and the importance of biodiversity. This is how food security is cultivated from the ground up.

Sustainability at the Core

Our approach is built on three pillars:

  1. Local production: We grow seasonal crops such as tomatoes, spinach, papaya, and beans. This reduces dependence on external food sources and lowers the ecological footprint.
  2. Water management: In a region where water is scarce, we invest in sustainable solutions like drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and — soon — our own water source and tank. This enables farming even during dry spells.
  3. Education and empowerment: Young people learn how to grow their own food, care for the soil, and collaborate to build resilient communities. Food security becomes a shared responsibility.

Food as a Bridge to the Future

BOOST The World connects food security to broader themes like leadership, sustainability, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our garden is not just a place of growth, but also of dialogue — about climate change, inequality, and the power of local solutions.

Creating Impact Together

On World Food Day, we honor the strength of communities to become self-sufficient. BOOST The World shows that sustainable food security starts with education, collaboration, and respect for nature. Every child deserves access to nutritious food — today and tomorrow.

Support Sustainable Change

Would you like to contribute to food security in Hoedspruit? You can! With a small or large donation, you help fund water solutions, seeds, education, and the expansion of our nursery. Donate easily via our website or through the crowdfunding platform WhyDonate.

Empowering Girls with Love, Care, and Wisdom

October 11 – International Day of the Girl

Today, the world pauses to recognize the strength, potential, and rights of girls everywhere. But this day is more than a celebration — it’s a call to action. Millions of girls still face barriers to education, safety, and equality. At BOOST The World, we believe that true transformation begins with equal opportunities, mutual respect, and the protection of youth rights — with a special focus on girls.

Why This Day Matters

The International Day of the Girl, established by the United Nations, shines a light on the unique challenges girls face globally — from child marriage and gender-based violence to lack of access to education and healthcare. But it also highlights their resilience, creativity, and leadership. When girls are empowered, entire communities thrive.

BOOST The World: A Movement Rooted in Values

At BOOST The World, we are building a future where every child — regardless of gender — can grow into a conscious, compassionate, and courageous leader. Our foundation is built on three core values:

  • Love: We see and value every child for who they are. We create safe, inclusive spaces where girls feel seen, heard, and supported.
  • Care: We invest in their well-being — physically, emotionally, and socially — ensuring they have the tools to thrive.
  • Wisdom: We equip them with knowledge, critical thinking, and leadership skills to shape a more just and sustainable world.

Girls’ Education: The Game Changer

Education is not a privilege — it’s a fundamental right. Yet millions of girls are still denied this right due to poverty, cultural norms, or lack of infrastructure. BOOST The World is committed to changing this reality:

  • We are developing a learning community where girls can access education, mentorship, and leadership development.
  • We promote peer-to-peer learning, empowering girls to support and inspire one another.
  • We integrate the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our programs, helping girls understand their rights and their role in global change.

Equality Begins with Respect

Equality is not just about access — it’s about recognition. It means valuing girls’ voices, dreams, and decisions. At BOOST The World, we don’t just work for young people — we work with them. Girls are not passive recipients of aid; they are active agents of change. Their voices shape our programs, their ideas drive our innovation.

Why Your Support Matters Now

To continue this vital work, we need your help. Your donation can:

  • Provide girls with access to education and leadership programs.
  • Create safe, nurturing environments where love, care, and wisdom are at the heart of learning.
  • Strengthen youth rights and empower girls to reach their full potential.

Every contribution — big or small — makes a difference. Together, we can build a world where girls don’t just survive, but thrive.

👉 Donate today and help us give girls the future they deserve.

BOOST The World Foundation
Rooted in love. Guided by care. Driven by wisdom.
For a world where every girl can lead.

Peace Begins with Sharing Love, Care, and Wisdom

Today, September 21st, we celebrate the International Day of Peace – a moment to reflect on our shared longing for a world free from violence, division, and injustice. At BOOST The World, we believe peace is not a distant ideal, but a daily practice rooted in the sharing of three universal values: love, care, and wisdom.

đź’› Love as the Foundation

Love is the force that connects people. Not just romantic love, but the kind that shows up as respect, compassion, and solidarity. When we treat each other with love – in families, communities, and organizations – we create space for trust. Love helps us bridge differences and prevent conflict. In our projects, like the BOOST nursery in Hoedspruit, South Africa, we see how loving collaboration between youth, farmers, and volunteers leads to growth – both in crops and in relationships.

🤲 Care as the Compass

Care is love in action. It’s the willingness to take responsibility for one another and for our planet. Care means listening, helping, protecting, and supporting. In a world often driven by profit and speed, care is a radical act. By placing care at the heart of our work – through sustainable agriculture and education – we build resilient communities where peace can take root.

🧠 Wisdom as the Guide

Wisdom is more than knowledge. It’s the ability to understand what truly matters and to make choices that benefit the whole. Wisdom requires reflection, learning from experience, and asking deep questions. At BOOST The World, we encourage young people to develop their own wisdom – through dialogue, storytelling, and connection with nature. Wisdom leads to insight, and insight leads to peace.

🌍 Peace as a Result of Sharing

When we not only cherish love, care, and wisdom but actively share them with others, something powerful happens. We build bridges instead of walls. We create space for collaboration, healing, and hope. Peace is not a destination, but a process that begins with every choice we make – how we speak, how we act, how we show up.

On this International Day of Peace, we invite everyone to reflect on these values. How can you show love today? Where can you offer care? What wisdom do you want to share?

At BOOST The World, we believe peace begins within – and spreads when we share our values. Together, we can build a world where peace is not the exception, but the norm.
