SDG alignment.
Local action. Shared global goals.
PURE connects education, youth leadership, health, skills and community action with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Programs respond to local needs across our global network.
Each program page explains the goals most closely connected to its activities. This alignment describes PURE’s work; it does not imply United Nations certification or endorsement.
