Health
Why it is important
Aiming at goals, such as expanding education, peace and human rights requires certain prerequisites. We consider establishing a healthy population in the first place of fundamental importance. Clean water, untainted food as well as the access to hygienic sanitary facilities and doctors, in case of medical needs, are of utmost importance. With human beings not having the security or not knowing, how to survive the next day, the focus on a reflective and moral organisation within a society experiences complete abundance.
