Fostering Sustainable Progress: The Role of Mending Goals in Achieving the SDGs

The Mending Goals (MGs) serve as a framework aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), acting as a catalyst for their achievement. They encompass a series of actions aimed at fostering mentorship to guide mentees towards self-reliance, thereby facilitating social and economic progress. These actions occur primarily at the mentor level, where participants engage in sustainable giving, donations, and impact investing in private projects.

MGs’ private projects involve bilateral joint ventures and strategic alliances among participating companies, both domestically and abroad. These initiatives are reinforced by private-public partnerships (PPP/P3s), collectively forming humanitarian projects known as Joint Venture Public-Private Partnerships (JVP3) or Strategic Alliance Public-Private Partnerships (SAP3s). Through these projects, MGs aim to generate “healing actions” that serve as drivers within the economic system, stimulating transactions supported by low-cost debt. Each stable transaction contributes to the creation of new economic cycles, fostering cycles of prosperity instead of perpetuating poverty cycles caused by a lack of access to low-cost debt.
