The shamptonian institution actively advocates and supports activities that improve living conditions and reduce suffering across the earth via:

+ eliminating poverty and providing food and shelter to those in need
+ access to safe drinking water, medicine and emergency disaster relief
+ promoting and helping to develop peaceful resolutions to military conflicts
+ drastically reducing the worldwide industrial emissions of CO, CO₂, NO_x, SO_x

like the steve miller band, whose lyrics since 1976 have melodiously implored us to “…feed the babies, who don’t have enough to eat …shoe the children, with no shoes on their feet …house the people, livin’ in the street; ohhhh, there’s a solution…” so too, more than 30 years later, the shamptonian institute believes we can work with each other locally and globally to develop inspiring solutions that help improve humanity and the world.
