Esther Kersten founded Glocal Discovery to speed up the green economy by communicating about local sustainable solutions in developing countries. Their approach involves visiting local sustainable projects in countries like Bangladesh, Cambodia, Zambia, and providing services and communicating about the projects on social media. Glocal Discovery focuses on water, food security, and has supported various projects in countries like Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, and Mozambique related to water and food security. They conduct project visits that involve storytelling, photos, and basic sustainability assessments to communicate about projects and enable social fundraising and business model innovation for the projects.
