We appreciate all donations of canned food, medicines and water, and will distribute those to all in need with the help of our allies. But we ask you to consider a monetary donation, which will enable us to tend other needs: buy fuel, contract local construction workers and, specially, implement community development projects P.E.C.E.S. fosters social, economic, educational development of individuals and communities in social disadvantage. The project began in Punta Santiago, Humacao in 1985 and has expanded its services to the eastern region of Puerto Rico. We want to inspire leaders, with special attention to youngsters, so they become champions of their own communities. Our work helps participants insert themselves into community processes and become protagonists of their own transformations.

Ratanak means 'Precious Gem' in Cambodian, and was the name of a baby girl our founder Brian McConaghy tragically watched dying due to a lack of basic medical aid in a video he was shown in 1989. Since then Ratanak International has been working exclusively in Cambodia and is dedicated to bringing hope to a society that would have saved this girl. We fund projects across Cambodian society which include literacy, medical and elder care programs. We have helped build schools, and hospitals. We fund projects that support AIDS victims, orphans and drug addicts. Since 2004 Ratanak International has also been working on the front lines in Cambodia rescuing and rehabilitating victims of child abuse. To tackle this immense problem we work in four key areas: prevention, rehabilitation, reintegration and community transformation. The picture in Cambodia is often dark, yet through compassion for this country we are finding great hope and even joy in the work we do.

Relapse Prevention skills are taught during the ten day Wilderness Youth Challenge Program. To achieve this the youth are hiked deep into a back country wilderness location and establish a Base camp where they spend four days as a group training to spend four days solo camping on their own. Day one the youth complete a Wilderness First Aid course. The second day is used to present a Predator Awareness by Habitat course and the third day focuses on LNT - Leave No Trace principles. On the fourth day Basic Survival skills are taught to the youth. On the fifth day the youth are placed in solo sites located approximately one kilometer apart. During their solo experience they are allowed to hang a 'Fail Safe' flag we observe regularly. During the four day solo the youth produce a cooking spoon, build an emergency stretcher, carve a hiking staff, construct hydro mills or present something of artistic value. The last day the youth are brought back to Base camp for a graduation exercise.

On the 11th of March 2011, Japan was hit by one of the most powerful earthquakes ever known to have hit the country. Following the earthquakes, large tsunamis devastated Japan's north-eastern coast, damaging or destroying nearly 40,000 buildings, leaving 20,000 dead. IsraAID's first team arrived on the ground 4 days after the tsunami, and distributed aid, cleaned houses, created child-friendly spaces, and rebuilt schools. During this period, IsraAID discovered a rapidly growing need for psycho-social and post-traumatic care, and has decided to launch the "Japan IsraAID Support Program (JISP)" in August 2013. Drawing on local and foreign knowledge, IsraAID and JISP have provided direct support to the victims and trained thousands of professionals and care providers in MHPSS, offering PTSD prevention, stress-management and leadership workshops. Founded in the aftermath of the great disaster in Tohoku, JISP now operates as one of the leading humanitarian organizations based in Japan's Tohoku Region where very few international NGOs activate.

World Bicycle Relief’s mission is to provide people in need with access to independence and livelihood through The Power of Bicycles. People in developing nations suffer every day due to lack of transportation: without access to education and economic opportunity, people live in poverty; without access to healthcare, people die of preventable diseases and minor injuries.  Bicycles are a simple, sustainable way to bridge the transportation gap between needs and resources. Compared to walking, the only transporation available to many people in developing countries, bicycles represent an enormous leap in productivity and access to healthcare, education and economic development opportunities. We accomplish our mission by designing, sourcing and manufacturing bicycles designed to withstand African terrain and conditions while meeting the needs of students, healthcare workers, farmers and entrepreneurs. We encourage local economies and promote long-term sustainability by locally assembling bicycles, training mechanics, strengthening the spare parts supply chain, and providing high-quality, affordable bicycles to people in need of transportation.

As a charity organization, we obviously cannot help these in need without your generous support. AFUNO is a nonprofit tax-exempt charity organization dedicated to providing footwear to students who are in dire need.

We are taken the first step to help the underprivileged school-aged and the talented to have the opportunity to own a pair of shoes. Your unwanted footwear creates opportunity many need. Walking becomes unbearable. Every day many children are prevented from attending school or sport activity, adults are unable to work, farmers are unable to farm their land, and doctors and nurses cannot properly and professionally perform their duties as a medical professional, they cannot properly provide a medical footwear to a child in need because they know that in this hardship financial conditions, parents can't afford one. A new pair of shoes provides relief in many people's lives in Haiti, in times of disaster, and helps bridge the economic gap in the South and South-West of Haiti. This is why your donation makes a huge impact in the Haitian families. So, we need your help to keep on going.
