Volunteer Opportunity in Belgium 2025 - CATAPA Foundation
About the opportunity
Kataba is a movement that seeks a world where the extraction of non-renewable resources is no longer necessary. Extracting these materials always has significant social and environmental impacts and fuels conflict. In our pursuit of global social and environmental justice, we focus on mining issues (environmental disasters, human rights violations, and more).
In Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia, we work with grassroots movements and support communities threatened by large-scale mining projects. In Belgium, we urge citizens to denounce the current overconsumption and overproduction of electronics.
Our main activities are:
- Organising campaigns on the impact of mining and sustainable electronics production in Flanders.
- Supporting partners and local communities in Latin America threatened by large-scale mining projects.
- Creating a movement for sustainable production and consumption of minerals.
- Communicate, research, and stimulate alternatives.
