Projects – i-believe

There are many avenues that one can work on and make a difference in a person’s life or a community’s. We believe success should be measured by the lives we impact. But we can’t do it without you, so we’re asking you to get involved. Listed Below are Some of the ongoing Projects, you can participate in. Each of the projects listed here has some background information, budget and a timeline. Many of these projects are annual projects we execute every year.

Our main goal is to inspire and encourage individuals to be part of the projects they care – be it global or local. Many of these projects could be easily executed in your small town or village wherever you reside in this world – be it the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia or Middle East.

Aside from the basic information, you will also see a document(that you may download) that lists the problem, solution and the process along with challenges and lessons learned. This document is our attempt for transparency and to help others who may wish to implement a project they like on their own in their corner of the world. This document could be your blueprint!

Ready to support a project? You may support one ore more projects by donating money, materials or your valuable time. Each project has a “volunteer” and “donate” button which allows you to donate your time and/or money. If you choose, you may also make a small monthly contribution instead of a one-time amount.

Since I- believe Inc. is a public charity registered with the IRS (United States), the money you donate here is tax deductible for American tax payers. Donors from other countries, please check with your accountant or tax expert to see if this would qualify and if you wish to deduct your donations. 100% of your donation will go to the project you selected. Our operational costs are currently sponsored by GBRI, an online education platform thereby allowing us to utilize 100% of our funds to projects.

We may always have a soft corner in our heart for something local, close to our town or village just because we always have a sense of belonging to the place we were born, went to school and grew up. By acting local, we could collectively make a difference globally!

Active Projects

GBRI & i-believe Workforce Training

The environmental and infrastructure problems we face are as much social as they are technical. From environmental to social impacts, Climate Change is affecting more than just global temperature. Not only does Climate Change impact our daily lives, but it’s also driving us apart. While it’s easy and almost convenient to see the Climate Change problem in a silo, and Climate Change solutions in a silo – it’s much more than that – its environment, biodiversity, economics, social justice - its sustainability of our planet, and the people and all living beings that aim to thrive on it. Acknowledging the problem, educating ourselves of the opportunities and solutions, and taking meaningful actions is what drives GBRI. Our actions have far-reaching implications. Therefore, we need to act now and bring in a shift in fundamentally how we interact within our communities. What is GBRI’s action plan? GBRI is the premier sustainability education provider in the world, with a library of over 500 courses in sustainability and project controls, and a network of over 100 subject matter experts in both fields.
