The Heart Gardening Project is a community initiative that connects humans to humans, humans to nature and nature to nature joyfully through street gardening. We turn public spaces, including nature strips, into meaningful beautiful gardens for everyone (plus the critters!) in the community to enjoy.
We have written a book (Melbourne Pollinator Corridor Handbook) which is a clear and easy-to-use introduction to street gardening, native bees and gardening to increase biodiversity that will help people wanting to create positive change in their patch, private or public.
Australian and New Zealand Paired Kidney Exchange Is going gang busters at increasing the number of kidneys donated / transplant patients into people that need them. Last year was a record year with 1/5 of all living kidney donors came from this program. The program allows friends and family who want to donate a kidney to a loved one but aren't a good medical match, to be paired with others in the same situation. The exchange also accepts donations from altruistic donors.Here is a program doing real good for those with kidney disease requiring a transplant.https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-27/australia-kidney-disease-donor-transplant/103488392?
