The Forest Trust for the Children of Cortes Island Society has been formed to purchase Island Timberlands forest land holdings immediately adjacent to Carrington Bay Park on Cortes Island, British Columbia, Canada. These forest lands will be held in trust for all the children of Cortes Island, in perpetuity. They will offer educational, recreational, cultural and spiritual value for all our children. They will provide the opportunity for our youth to embrace and practise stewardship of forest lands and watersheds. Parcel Identification The parcels of land that have been identified for purchase (shown below) are: NW ¼ S38, NE ¼ S38, NW ¼ S39, NE ¼ S39 and portion of SW ¼ S39. These lands border the southern shores of Carrington Lagoon and share their northern boundary with Carrington Bay Park, providing critical connectivity at the landscape level for Carrington Bay and Carrington Lagoon.

Shikamana Trust oversees and manages the Shikamana School in Ukundu, Kenya. The school was founded in May 2002 with the aim of providing education for children, who due to poverty would otherwise be unable to attend school. Over 360 children regularly attend the Shikamana School, ranging in age from 3 to 17. Shikamana does not turn away any child wishing to attend school, meaning that many of the children attend despite their parent of guardian's inability to pay the very moderate schools fees. The school operates a sliding scale of fees according to what the parents can manage. This subsidized school fees mechanism is made possible through the Shikamana Trust and the Cher Charitable Foundation, which help provide necessary funds to run the school properly despite lack of income from school fees.

Hope Trust aims to educate, equip and empower people with life skills and where appropriate offer counselling support to those in need of it. Our charity was formed to assist people to address life in a pro-active way, when life feels hopeless and overwhelming, particularly those who are suicidal or self harming. We have developed teaching materials that are aimed at addressing poor mental health. We also conduct workshops to empower people to be appropriate and assist those who are struggling in life. All this to strengthen the community and to address isolation that can be an issue for people struggling to connect in society. Our hope is to build capacity and increase the programmes we can offer in the community
