Renewable World (formerly known as the Koru foundation) was launched in 2007 by members of the renewable charity industry in the UK. Their mission is to tackle poverty in developing countries through the use of renewable energy. They host projects in Eastern Africa, South Asia, and Central America to provide clean water to homes, solar power for healthcare facilities, and wind turbines for farmers to irrigate their crops. Check out more of what they do here!

Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam is a celebrated Japanese artist who’s most famous for using crochet and kitting in her work. In the 1990s, she was unveiling one of her larger crochet pieces at a museum when two children asked if they could play on it. This gave her the idea to create gorgeous crochet playgrounds all over Japan, photos of which have only been available online in the past week or so. We think this is an amazing, exciting project to bring art — and fun! — to kids of all ages!
