BOOST THE WORLD

History

2018 WE LAUNCHED BOOST THE WORLD

Background

Rosanne van Zalingen, the founder of BOOST The World foundation, grew up in a bullying, disempowering and unhealthy school environment. Therefore, Rosanne started dreaming of a peaceful world, bringing compassion for all those lives, where as many children and youngsters as possible get the opportunity to live a conscious, happy, healthy and prosperous life; to be seen and to be heard. So they can take good care of themselves, the environment and the planet.

The only thing that can have a transformative effect is education, the development of humans. And that starts at the conception. Every child has the right to develop, unfortunately not every child has the opportunity to develop in an optimal environment. At BOOST The World foundation, we focus on human development. And we provide education through a holistic approach.

Our community was created from our shared vision to make the world a bit more beautiful for a new generation. We all believe that development and education from a holistic approach is the key to a fruitful future for people, animals and the planet. In collaboration with real ‘Change Makers’, partners, ‘Young Leaders’, sponsors and volunteers, we together ensure a bright future for global communities.

2018

  • BOOST The World was founded in 2018. 
  • First Young Leaders Expedition to South Africa. 
  • First Young Leaders (Kyara, 18 years, and Sem, 12 years, then) were the first young leaders to travel to Africa and help with the building of the first BOOST creche for orphans (a.k.a. creché)
  • The Young Leaders Board was started. The first members were Sem & Declan.

2019

  • In 2019, the first ecological daycare for 55 children in South Africa was opened. 
  • We started giving workshops at schools in the Netherlands, educating (future) Young Leaders about sustainability and how to become a heart-centered leader. We also gave the Young Leaders insights about whаt the lives of the kids in South Africa look like and what they can do as Young Leaders to change that for the better.

2020

  • In 2020, the first group of young people, between 10 and 30 years old, went to South Africa on an expedition to help the local community there with their hands.
