Thrive Philanthropy Leaders Meet at AVA Summit Brazil

Working in a global organization has many joys—but one challenge is the lack of in-person time! So it’s always a special occasion when Thrive community members from different continents get a chance to meet face-to-face.

Thrive Philanthropy’s Senior Thrive Africa Co-Manager, Nabaasa Innocent from Uganda, and Board Member, Marcela Rodrigues Machado Borges from Brazil, meet at Sociedade Vegetariana Brasileira (SVB) Vegfest | Animal & Vegan Advocacy (AVA) Summit Brazil. This rare gathering allows the Thrive team to connect, share insights, and strengthen collaboration across continents.

The event highlights the global reach and impact of Thrive Philanthropy’s work in advancing plant-based food systems, ethical advocacy, and movement-building across Africa, Latin America, and beyond.

Even brief moments like this remind us how meaningful in-person connections can be—fueling collaboration, inspiration, and the shared mission of creating a more compassionate and sustainable world.
