- STOP T-shirt
The MSL organization will stop producing and distributing the t-shirt that has been distributed together with the bib every year. The initiative is a gesture to prevent the harmful impact of textiles and waste on the environment.
It is a crucial time to fight climate change. Every day, in various parts of the world, the planet sends us messages about the dramatic changes it is undergoing, from changing weather patterns that threaten food production to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding. The effects of climate change affect us all. If drastic measures are not taken, it will be much more difficult and expensive to adapt to the consequences in the future.
“Let’s create a fairer, more supportive economy that will not only get us out of the current crisis, but also give us a sense of connection with the world full of life,” says Mundukide.
- Mundukide’s collaborative projects
“We will continue to offer farming opportunities to thousands of farmers in Mozambique and Ethiopia, so that they can not only meet their nutritional needs but also have a greater ability to generate income. With the aim of encouraging the socio-economic development of families in Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, we will continue to work to improve the performance of cooperatives, from production to marketing, to people who are benchmarks in the optimization of processes offering management training. In the 2021 financial year, more than 100,000 people have received the support of Mundukide, along with fellow travelers like you thanks to you Let’s keep moving forward,” they say from the organization.
- Fellow world
This is how Mundukid explains his work: “To a greater or lesser extent, all of us who are members of this “First World” are aware of the privilege of being born where we were born. And in many cases, this awareness prompts us to act in solidarity with those who have not had that luck. Without a doubt, a way to act there are many. Individual or organized. National or international. Emergency. With various goals: health, education, environment… To help children, women or refugees. But, in any case, they all have solidarity as their flag.”
