TELSA has carved out two areas of action for its mission; one is long-term and the other is short term. Its area of action is India, particularly rural India. The long term goal is to promote the concept of a master plan approach to rural change whereby each village is encouraged to prepare a master plan for its overall development in order to address the long-term needs of its population in a holistic manner across all aspects of living: childhood development, literacy, education, human resource development,rural infrastructure development, industrial development, job creation, retirement and so on. The goal here is to reverse the trend of distress migrations to cities where rural populations end up in slums with all the concomitant problems of ill-health, crime and alienation. This goal is sought to be accomplished by carrying on campaigns amongst indian populations in villages, urban slums, academia and policy-formulation circles. For its short term goal TELSA strives to provide immediate help to poorer sections of the population in villages, especially in the area of children's education. The method chosen is to make school attendance a more attractive proposition to both children and parents in disadvantaged households. Children from poor households suffer from several disadvantages, such as first generation exposure to education, lack of access to existing schools due to lack of transportation, loss of income to families deprived of child labor earnings and so on. Besides, schools in villages lack basic infra-structure in terms of sanitation, drinking water, class room furniture, classroom supplies, teacher motivation etc. The help sought to be provided by TELSA attempts to address one or several of these deficits.

Taliin Tuurai or (Steppe and Hoof) is a non-profit organization which has been set up to help herders and their animals in Mongolia. From a total population of 3.2 million Mongolian people, only about 169,000 nomadic families remain today. Mongolian herders are one of the last group of the pastural nomads left on earth. For a millennium these nomads have lived on the steppes, grazing their animals on vast grasslands while passing their culture virtually unchanged from generation to generation. But today, their traditional lifestyle is under threat. Climate change, desertification and rapidly evolving economics inside of Mongolia are contributing not only to a dramatic reduction in herders and arable land, but also to the rapid migration of families away from their life in the countryside to the cities. For the last several decades thousands of herder families have moved to the cities. Life in the countryside can be harsh. A particularly bad winter, called a Dzud in Mongolian, is an extreme weather phenomenon which regularly results in massive livestock deaths which in turn forces herders to abandon their nomadic way of life to look for work in the cities. With already very high unemployment, job prospects in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar are very few, often forcing these once proud and independent people into poverty in the ger districts surrounding the city. The ger districts have almost no modern services like running water and basic infrastructure. Our goal is to try to save the unique traditions that are part of the Mongolian nomadic lifestyle. With our programs we are striving to preserve the unique tradition and culture that existed for so long in Mongolia while giving herders modern tools, services and training to make it possible for them to succeed in today's world.

Outreach Uganda is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Colorado and dedicated to helping empower Ugandans, especially women and children, to rise out of poverty. To do this, we work with village groups in Uganda to bring hope and improve lives, especially in the areas of education, women's empowerment, and self-sufficiency through job creation. Initially, our village groups help support themselves and their families through sales of paper beaded jewelry and other craft items. The beaders save money from their bead sales so they can then start own group or individual businesses to supplement their income and eventually we hope it will be their main source of income. Micro-credit loans from their group's internal revolving loan fund provides additional help for the ladies to either start businesses or further expand their existing businesses to a level that will help them rise above poverty. As an organization, we emphasize to both our donors and our clients that we believe in truly empowering those we help. In everything we do, we seek to be a partner with those we serve so that they do not become dependent on us, and so that we do not take away their spirit of wanting to help themselves. We believe that income-generation of the women, and education of the children is the way that families can truly become empowered. But it is essential to take a holistic approach and focus on multiple areas, all of which impact the woman's income-generation potential. For instance, a woman must be relatively healthy to be a successful business owner. Therefore, we must also help a woman address issues of health. For many of our women in northern Uganda, agriculture and the raising of cash crops will be key to their income generation potential. Therefore, agricultural issues, water issues and even land access and rights become important areas to address.
