Together For Gambia is a non-profit organization focused on improving the well being and giving back to the people of The Gambia. Today, nearly half of the population in The Gambia are living below the poverty line and many more struggle to have one good meal a day. We are devoted to fighting this because hunger demoralizes the vibrant spirits of the people of The Gambia. Every human being deserves the dignity of a decent meal each day. Our goal is to serve as a bridge to give the fortunate an opportunity to lend a hand to those who are less fortunate.
Today, most of our population growth is being accommodated at the fringes of suburban cities in a sprawling, low-density fashion. These new communities are highly consumptive of rural and agricultural lands, energy, water and material resources, and create traffic congestion. As a result, they also emit damaging amounts of toxins and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. SUDA gathers and disseminates information about sustainable city-building, undertakes practical research as funds allow, and communicates with key stakeholders about opportunities and benefits of building environmentally-responsible communities.

The slaughter of wildlife is reaching unprecedented levels. Poaching of wildlife and elephants and rhino in particular, has escalated as a result of the rising demand for ivory in Asia and the Middle East. Some experts estimate that as many as 35,000 elephants a year are being slaughtered, 10% of Africa’s elephant population each year. Big Life Canada Foundation was established to combat the poaching of elephants and wildlife and to protect their habitat. Its current geographic scope is the Amboseli ecosystem, which straddles the Kenyan-Tanzania border, and is comprised of approximately 2 million acres. Big Life Foundation Canada will focus on establishing anti-poaching camps in the highest needed areas of Kenya & Tanzania.

Too Little Children is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, that was formed to serve the children who have too little. This particular population is especially vulnerable and forgotten, and they feel that it is both their responsibility and privilege to care for them. They have established programs to provide enough for these children, in a variety of different ways. Their programs are constantly being altered and improved as they learn more about their needs and the best ways to meet them. Their focus is developing countries and their scope is broad but simple: they want to provide enough for the children who are in need. They want to go beyond their physical and financial needs because they genuinely believe that a child who is unloved and uncared for suffers as much as the child who has nothing to eat. They are honored to serve all children, regardless of background, beliefs, or tribal affiliations.
