Watoto Foundation
Watoto Foundation Tanzania was founded in 2003 and is dedicated to supporting street boys in and around Arusha.
Meten=Weten stands up for the rights of people, animals and nature to have a healthy environment that is free of pesticides.
About the initiative
Meten=Weten (‘To measure is to know’) is a civic initiative that conducts its own research into the distribution of pesticides used in agriculture. Results show that pesticides spread further – sometimes much further – than the field that was sprayed; they are present everywhere. Meten=Weten promotes:
- Greater awareness about the use of pesticides
- Mobilizing the public to take action
- Providing a way of exerting pressure to get politics moving
That’s why we donate to Meten=Weten
The use of pesticides in the Netherlands (the most per hectare in the whole of Europe) does not benefit human and animal health. Meten=Weten is badly needed for gathering knowledge and activating the public to change the governmental attitude that there is nothing wrong.
