The Taraloka Foundation creates opportunities for Himalayan girls by providing education, healthcare, and a safe refuge. We strive to do the best we can for a small group of girls in the Himalayan region of Sikkim. We rescue girls from difficult circumstances and support all of their needs until they graduate from college. As soon as one of our girls enters college, we have room to bring another girl into the Sikkim Happiness Home, their safe refuge. Many have lost their parents and have no safety net. Some of our girls have a parent or a relative, but for a variety of reasons they need the safe refuge of the Sikkim Happiness Home. Regardless of the circumstance, our girls enjoy a life together as sisters. We help them cross over from a life of suffering to a life full of joy and potential.

The Guatemala Stove Project (GSP) is a group of North American volunteers that began working in response to a request for help from CEDEC, an indigenous non-profit group working in Guatemala's Altiplano (Western Highlands). CEDEC had identified the need for masonry cookstoves in the communities they serve, but residents lacked the material resources to build stoves for themselves. The Guatemala Stove Project was born out of this need. Currently the GSP works with 3 Guatemalan NGO's. Other activities include emergency relief, sustainable projects promoting nutrition, education, and micro-loans. Because the stoves burn more efficiently family wood consumption is reduced by about 50%. Guatemala loses 2% of its forests annually, mainly to the need for cooking fuel firewood. The Guatemala Stove Project documents its work extensively, photographing each stove and the receiving family. It costs CND $225.00 to provide a stove for a Maya family.

The Overseas Press Club Foundation is the 501 (C)(3) charitable organization affiliated with the Overseas Press Club, which was founded in New York City in 1939 by a group of foreign correspondents to improve the profession of international journalism. The Foundation has a broad mandate to improve the media's understanding of international issues and to raise the quality of news-gathering efforts in covering the world. The most tangible expression of this charter is a scholarship program for undergraduate and graduate students in American colleges and universities, who aspire to become foreign correspondents. The program began in 1992 and every year offers $2,000 scholarships to 14 talented student winners of a national essay competition. In 2006, the OPC Foundation began partnering with media organizations to offer internships. The Foundation pays travel and living expenses for interns in foreign bureaus. Six of this year's winners will have internships with Associated Press (Cairo, Johannesburg, and Bangkok) and Reuters (Singapore, Beijing, and Hong Kong). The Foundation feels it is more important than ever to encourage young correspondents to travel and work abroad particularly at a time when many major news organizations have sharply reduced their networks of experienced correspondents around the world.

Statement of Faith We believe the Bible to be the Word of God, verbally inspired and wholly without error in all that it declares and therefore is the supreme and final authority for faith and life. We believe in the one true God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We also believe in the virgin birth and the Deity of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who is also the son of man. We believe the vicarious substitutionary death of Jesus Christ on the cross made atonement for the sin of the world, efficient for all who repent and believe. We believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ which insures the resurrection of all believers who have received God’s gift of eternal life. We believe in the imminent return of Christ to this earth to set up His kingdom and to judge the righteous. We believe that man was originally created in the image of God, that he fell into sin through the first Adam, and that he is responsible for all sin committed after reaching the age of accountability and that sin causes him to be separated from God and lost eternally. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells all who receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We believe that Christians are called and commanded to do good works. We believe that Christians are called to witness for Christ and to preach the gospel to all nations.

🌍 Global GAIN Mission Statement Global GAIN (Grassroots Advocacy and Impact Network) exists to safeguard and strengthen democracy by preserving its professional expertise, empowering diverse and inclusive leadership, and creating resilient infrastructure capable of withstanding the erosion of democratic norms and institutions. We envision a world where resilient democratic systems are led by a richly diverse community—especially women and underrepresented voices—united across borders to defend and renew democratic values in the face of rising authoritarianism. ✊ What We Do We work at the intersection of democracy preservation, leadership development, and international solidarity, focusing on five core strategies: Preserving Democratic Expertise We respond to the dismantling of traditional democracy support systems by documenting institutional knowledge, supporting displaced professionals, and creating rapid-response transition services. Empowering Inclusive Democratic Leadership Through flagship initiatives like Democracy Pros, WomenGAIN, and global hubs such as CoKiyovu, we build inclusive pipelines and lifelong networks for diverse democracy professionals—especially women, people of color, and those navigating complex global contexts. Building Sustainable Career Pathways We offer training, mentorship, fellowships, and career stabilization tools to support democracy professionals, with a focus on transitions across election cycles and institutional collapses. Creating Alternative Democracy Support Systems In the absence of state and institutional backing, we construct new, decentralized models of democratic infrastructure—powered by philanthropy, peer networks, and a digital knowledge exchange platform. Global Collaboration for Democratic Restoration We facilitate cross-border learning, solidarity alliances, and coordinated responses to authoritarian threats through our Transnational Progressive Alliance—linking democracy leaders in the U.S. with counterparts in Europe, Latin America, and beyond. 🌱 Our Commitment In this time of global democratic crisis, Global GAIN pledges to: Protect and elevate democracy professionals on the frontlines Center women's leadership as a cornerstone of democratic renewal Create physical and virtual hubs for collaboration and training Connect diverse leaders globally to learn, build, and organize together Develop innovative, scalable tools for a new era of democracy work Global GAIN is not just preserving democracy—we are reinventing it. Through this bold, integrated vision, we are equipping a new generation of leaders with the knowledge, networks, and resilience to rebuild and transform democratic systems from the ground up.
