NGO Framework
"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."

Together, We Can Re-Build
Clarity of Purpose: One Target, One Voice
Whether you're a grassroots group, a local charity, a youth collective, or a mutual aid network, this starts with clarity.
Choose one SDG target that connects to the work you already do. Let it guide your efforts, shape your partnerships, and show funders and your community what you’re committed to.
This isn’t about branding. It’s about focus.
You don’t need to align with UN indicator systems. Your legitimacy comes from the people you serve, and the impact you can show.
What This Means For You:
Choose one SDG target that matches your mission and daily work
Use that target to shape your reports, stories, and strategy
Show stakeholders that you’re structured, not scattered
Proof in Practice: Work That Already Counts
You don’t need to invent new projects.
Just link the work you're already doing, feeding families, supporting women, creating safe spaces, to a clear global challenge.
Your target helps explain, connect, and elevate that effort.
Local Impact, Global Story: Community First
You work where it matters, in real places, with real people.
Your community is your mandate. Use your target to make that visible. Paint it on a wall, post it on your website, share it at a school, or highlight it in a short reel.
The SDGs aren’t distant goals. They’re what you’re already doing, just not yet seen that way.
Language With Power: ESG Framing
You don’t need to be a lawyer. You just need tools that carry weight.
This framework helps you:
Understand which rights are connected to your issue
Spot where systems are failing, and where they’re working
Use the language of policy and ESG to talk to funders and officials
Show that your work isn’t charity, it’s structural change
Proof With Purpose: Credly Badges
Recognition happens in stages, and it’s verified.
Target Selected — your commitment is documented
Target Activated — your first actions are underway
Target Verified — you’ve delivered real, visible outcomes
All badges are issued by Hudson Consultancy Online and hosted on Credly. They’re time-stamped, evidence-based, and ready to share.
Visibility That Builds Support
You already do the work. Now show it.
It could be a poster in a town hall, a mural, a blog, a short video, a corner of your website, whatever fits your style.
When people see the effort, they start to believe in it. And when they believe in it, they start to back it.
Ready-to-Use Support Tools
You don’t need expensive consultants. You need simple tools that save time and build trust.
You’ll get:
Target Snapshot Sheets written in plain English
SDG Story + Hero Cards for events and school engagement
ESG Law Cheat Sheets by theme
Feasibility Toolkit to help choose the right target
Templates for storytelling, tracking, and reporting
This is practical support, for real teams doing real work.
Why Now? Because Visibility = Survival
Right now, small organisations are doing serious work; but struggling to stay funded, seen, or supported. Donors want proof. Partners want alignment. Communities want action they can believe in.
This isn’t about writing new strategies. It’s about:
Showing how your existing work links to global challenges
Framing your impact in ways that funders and allies understand
Claiming visibility, before it’s claimed by louder, less effective voices
The SDGs are the shared language.
This framework helps you speak it; clearly, credibly, and on your terms.
You don’t need to change what you do.
You just need to show it in a way that others can back.
