Who are we?
SCAD (Sustainable Communities for Advancement & Development) is a foundation committed to creating real change through community-based innovation, sustainable education, and development rooted in the principles of sustainability. Founded in a collaborative spirit, SCAD is here to serve as a catalyst for inclusive and impactful social, economic, and environmental transformation.
We believe that the best solutions come from the community itself — when people are given access to relevant knowledge, learning spaces, and technologies, they are able to create change that fits their local context.
