Everyone, all over the world, has the right to see well. Unfortunately there are still a lot people who live in poverty and thus can’t afford the eyeglasses they desperately need. Seeing well is essential for them to take part in society and to receive the education they need for building a better future. Eyes for the World strives to help people to regain their vision in different countries all around the world. When choosing which specific project to support, we couldn’t deny our Belgian roots. This is why we have chosen to support the project which provides glasses to underprivileged families in Belgium. For merely 20€, we will be able to help a person regain his or her vision. For the future, we leave all opportunities open to expand to different countries.

Elephants are the most impressive, emotional and intelligent animals living on our planet. Rightfully so, more and more countries are forbidding the use of these wonderful animals in circuses, where they suffer from a lack of space and mental torment. But where do they have to go after they ‘retire’? Elephant Haven is the first European sanctuary for homeless circus elephants. It is located in France and founded by former Belgian zoo keepers and true animal lovers. Elephant Haven provides a home for these elephants in the middle of nature, where they can simply be elephants again and enjoy a safe haven for the rest of their lives.

Let’s make earth a better place through planting trees! Trees absorb CO2 from the air, create clouds by releasing water vapour, prevent soil degradation and so much more! They are vital for our planet and to all of us living on it. BOS+ doesn’t only plant trees, they also educate people and governments about the importance of sustainable forest management. KOBLA will support the forestation project of BOS+ in Belgium. With our donations, BOS+ will buy grounds and plant trees on them, creating our very own KOBLA-forest. Because BOS+ will effectively own the grounds, our trees will never be threatened and we will create a forest which is there to stay.
