    What does Imbuto mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>
    \n

    Imbuto is a term borrowed from the national languages of Burundi and Rwanda in East Africa (Kinyarwanda, Kirundi). Imbuto means selected seed, seed grain or fruit, thus something that is sown and bears fruit. Symbolically, we put grains into the earth and water them so that they can bear ripe fruit. In the Rwandan national language, the word Imbuto has a very positive connotation, something our association tries to live up to every day. For 20 years, many Imbuto have been sown, have grown and continue to bear good fruit. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

    What motivates us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Based on our own history, we are committed above all to supporting people who have fled. People usually leave their homes for vital reasons: war, genocide, terror, persecution, insufficient livelihoods, economic crisis, dramatic climate change. This is intensified by increasing land purchases by private investors (landgrabbing). As a result, countless people lose their farmland, their jobs, their income and thus their security of supplies.
    Through educational offers, Imbuto informs about the living conditions and challenges in countries of the Global South.
    The world requires new thinking, new actions and further development of a global domestic policy<\/strong>. This cannot be governed solely by countries of the Global North, but rather jointly by all countries. This requires exchanging information and facilitating a change of perspective, which we hope to contribute to with our work. We want to move the world!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

    \n\n\n \n\n

    Our objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    We are committed to peace, more justice in the world and equal rights for all people in the world! Imbuto promotes dialog and exchange between citizens of the Southern and the Northern hemisphere. We support the peaceful social coexistence of people with different cultural backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All people, regardless of where their born, have the same rights and duties, as agreed upon in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights<\/a>. We contribute to the protection of these rights, the preservation of human dignity as well as to the realization of childrens\u2019 rights<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    All this means we support the Agenda 2030<\/strong> with the implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> (SDG). These goals were unanimously adopted in 2015 by the General Assembly of the United Nations. With the Agenda 2030, the dimensions sustainability and peace have been linked at the political level for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With our work, we especially support the SDGs: Quality Education (4), Gender Equality (5), Decent Work and Economic Growth (8), Reduced Inequalities (10), Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions (16), Partnerships for the Goals (17). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
