Green Heritage Fund Suriname (GHFS)
The Green
Heritage Fund Suriname is a trust fund that was set up in Suriname in
October 2005 and is a non-profit organisation. The trust fund was
established to fund activities that help promote the green image and
cultural heritage of Suriname.
Vision
Our vision is to create a society of people who consciously work
for continued improvement of their environment, and promote a green, clean
and healthy Suriname.
Mission Statement
The GHFS seeks to generate the maximum resources possible to
finance activities that will ensure that all Surinamers are equipped to
take wise and balanced decisions about the sustainable development of
Suriname’s natural resources and biodiversity. These funds will be managed
in a manner consistent with the values of volunteerism, love for
environmental conservation, pro-action for self-betterment,
accountability, transparency, and empowerment.
Foundation Philosophy
The foundation believes a basis needs to
be created to fund activities that will provide Surinamers with sufficient
information and education, so that Suriname will be able to independently
devise and attain a path of sustainable development. These activities
would preferably address civil society as a whole to become involved in
environmental issues by making these topics as clear, understandable and
transparent as possible. The Green Heritage Fund Suriname believes that
environmental protection can only be successful if it includes the target
groups of environmental protection strategies in the conceptualization and
development of these strategies.
