D-TAP FOUNDATION
What we do?
Club17 is a network of local stakeholders dedicated to making their community more sustainable. They collaborate and connect stakeholders, using the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals as a guide.
Club17 also launches platforms to provide a centralized location for stakeholders and communities to share information, connect with one another, and collaborate on sustainable projects. They encourage participation from all members of the community and monitor progress towards achieving their sustainability goals, taking action through projects to address gaps in the baseline to understand what areas need to be focused on to achieve the shared vision.
D-TAP Foundation sets up, on non-profit basis, these Club17 communities in cities or countries for the betterment of society and coordinates all contacts and projects to achieve their shared objectives.
Why called Club17
Club17 is named after the 17th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of the United Nations, which calls for partnerships to achieve the other 16 SDGs. As a collaboration of partners dedicated to sustainable development, Club17 aims to create meaningful partnerships that can make a significant impact on achieving our goals. The SDGs provide a universally recognized framework and shared language for the foundation to align its mission and actions towards achieving a sustainable future for all.
