We are a nonprofit engaged in outreach for vegan diet and lifestyle. The goal of this project is to promote a vegan diet and lifestyle through the creation of comprehensive online courses, aiming to achieve optimum human health, freedom from animal exploitation, and the lowest environmental impact.


This project requires learners to develop several different lessons/modules for the online courses including the following:

  • Examine the current food system and its impact on human health, animal agriculture and the environment
  • Reasons for adopting a vegan diet
  • Method of adopting vegan diet
  • Food choices for various ethnic groups
  • Benefits in health, animal rights, environmental impact
  • Other aspects of veganism e.g., no wool, leather, silk, etc.


By the end of the online course, the participants should have an thorough understanding of the following:

  • Examined the current food system and its detrimental impact on human health, animal rights and the environment.
  • Establish that a plant based lifestyle is the ideal lifestyle for plant earth.
  • Be aware of the current landscape of veganism and animal right and environmental activism.
  • Publicly available videos on the topics may be used as content with due credit or as direct references to YouTube, etc.

Deliverables

The final deliverables for this project will be the following:

  • Creation of a set of modules/lessons in an open source Learning Management System (LMS) that offers creating lessons, quizzes, grading, student records, etc.
  • A 30-minute presentation detailing and explaining the features and content of the LMS.

Students will connect directly with us for mentorship throughout the project. We will be able to provide answers to questions such as:

  • What forms, documentation, and information should be collected during onboarding?
  • Are there any pain points in our current onboarding process?
  • What is our upfront/ongoing budget for an automation platform?
  • Input on choices, problems or anything else the students might encounter.

The mission of World Vegan Vision is to increase public awareness about the 3 main aspects of Veganism.

Health: It is now established beyond any doubt that a vegan diet is the key to preventing, curing or managing many diseases. The vegan diet is proven to help with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, cancer, allergies, lactose, gluten intolerance and many other ailments.

Animal Rights: A vegan diet promotes animal rights by not supporting animal agriculture and therefore not participating in the extreme cruelty and animal abuse inherent in the meat, egg and dairy industries.

Environmental Conservation: Animal agriculture is largely responsible for destruction of thousands of species of flora and fauna, pollute bodies of water and significantly contribute to green house gases.

We at World Vegan Vision are committed to organize activities to raise awareness about these issues. We will accomplish our mission via grassroots activism, outreach, social activities, fundraising, education and other means. We will also work in all the areas of the world where we can reach via the internet or physical local presence.
