Odibu Foundation mission seeks to provide mobile healthcare to address the problem of poor health access in Nigeria at no cost to patients. We seek to provide care for transmissible diseases such as HIV, as well as conditions like diabetes and hypertension. We are also concerned with providing specialized care for family planning. This would include access to free birth control, as well as pre-natal and post-natal care and care for infants. The social problem to be addressed: The communities in Northern Cross River State, due to lack of knowledge, information and orientation in health and hygiene the grass root level villagers cannot understand the need of immunization, importance of growth monitoring, technique of low cost nutritious food preparation, different methods of birth control, spacing between two children, importance using sanitary or pit type latrine, preparation of safe drinking water, maintenance of personal hygiene and disposal of waste products from the home and practices to maintain good health. In fact sound health deteriorates here with the increase of superstition and wrong method of treatment. So the incidence of maternal mortality, child mortality, morbidity, dehydration and malnutrition rate and other infectious diseases are quite high as per our community diagnosis. The existing Dai are not qualified so they cannot diagnosis in the case of high-risk pregnancies properly. The quacks are not trained. They depend on limited indigenous knowledge. The diversity and multiplicity of the problem can be decreased with some comprehensive program in this matter. At the time of feeling pain, they have to take to distant primary health center but on the way the pregnant women face great problem. Sometime the pregnant women are compelled to give birth their children under the open sky. So most of the patients have to go to town but some of them die in the street. Health care in Nigeria is not accessible, affordable, or high+quality as the residents of Nigeria deserve. Nigeria has one of the highest infant and maternal mortality rates in the world.16% of children die before their fifth birthday from complete preventable diseases like malaria and diarrhea. When treatment is many miles away, it is expensive to get to it, and many Nigerians simply cannot afford to get to a hospital or do not have transportation. Our foundation is dedicated to relieving the suffering and uncertainty of Nigeria children and underprivileged people. These individuals become victim to the shackle of poverty where the simplest necessities of life such as food, healthcare, shelter, clean water, sanitation and hygiene are often not within their reach.

Zetu Foundation's Mission is to provide basic classroom equipment for children in remote and refugee primary schools across Africa to sit comfortably and write properly during classes by using SeatPacks: $15 school bags that turn into bamboo classroom chairs with writing surfaces (and menstrual toolkits for adolescent girls inside). This mission is inspired by 3 core reasons: 1. Over 95 million African school-children today attend school lessons without a place to sit comfortably and write properly directly discouraging their interest in school. This is due to the high cost of tree-timber furniture (average $100 per unit to sit 3 students). 2. Replacing tree-timber furniture with sustainable bamboo furniture using SeatPacks can greatly combat Climate Change at scale over the next 20 years. 3. Giving adolescent girls a menstrual toolkit in each bag increases school attendance all year by 20%, creating equal gender opportunities for girls in rural communities to define their futures. The SeatPack has been locally designed and proven to directly address the above 3 issues. SeatPacks are used daily by 2,200 children in 32 schools across Uganda alone (East Africa) and are designed, produced, and delivered by a local team with local leadership all living in Uganda. Our goal is to gift 1 million African school children by 2030 the daily experience of sitting comfortably and writing properly during classes so they can make their future dreams come true. Meeting this goal means: 1. Together, we improve learning and future opportunities for 1 million children in remote and refugee communities. 2. We combat climate change by conserving up to 1 million trees through replacement of bamboo as the key furniture material for classrooms. 3. We create equal opportunity for adolescent girls by reclaiming up to 20% of their school year attendance previously lost due to menstrual hygiene challenges that encouraged school dropping out. The SeatPack was designed by the Zetu Africa team primarily for the Zetu Foundation to bring it to 1 million school children by 2030. The SeatPack is 100% locally produced in Uganda with local artisans and bamboo farmers. Research and design development started late 2019 under the for profit named Zetu Africa and 17 iterations have been tested with child and teacher feedback. The Zetu Foundation has been established to fund SeatPack production and distribution for children from the poorest communities at no extra cost to the children or their families. The SeatPack is: 1. Personal and Mobile; making the classroom a natural extension of every child, with sitting and writing functions possible wherever they choose to learn (Indoor and outdoor). 2. Light weight; at 600 grams each unit is less than 10% the weight of a 6 year old girl with one main pocket to limit heavy load intentionally. 3. Non-chemically treated bamboo and canvas, replacing tree-timber as the sustainable alternative material for classroom furniture. 4. Gender equality conscious with a menstrual toolkit for female adolescent students to stay in school all year round. 5. Durable with a 5 year working guarantee. Canvas and bamboo lends all-weather material strength, with no zippers or buttons for easy repair by sewing if torn. 6. Low cost at $15 per unit versus the $100 tree-timber furniture unit traditionally used by well to do schools. Amongst many testimonials, some rural and refugee school comments to-date have included; Teacher feedback: "Outdoor classes have been easier to carry out due to the mobile nature of each SeatPack." "Students increased attention during classes because of upright sitting." "Consistent attendance of girls even in their period because of menstrual purse in the SeatPack." Student feedback: "Class is nice to go to". "Easier writing because of my own writing surface". "We study outside more in afternoons now". Parent feedback: "They are excited to go to school after receiving SeatPacks". "When can we have more units". Together, we are keen to gift 1 million African school children in 20,000 classrooms by 2030 the daily experience of sitting comfortably and writing properly during classes with 1 million SeatPacks so they can make their future dreams come true.

Pratthanadee is an award-winning charity providing life-changing training for underprivileged women and girls in Bangkok and the rural Isaan region of Thailand. The Foundation empowers under-educated women and girls to become confident, independent and ambitious individuals. Through training in crucial skills, such as negotiation, self-presentation, and goal-setting, women are equipped to access better job opportunities and higher salaries. They leave training with the lifelong tools they need to build a more positive life for themselves and their families. The women that Pratthanadee works with have often migrated from a poor rural area to the city, in order to find work and send money home to their families. Over half moved to Bangkok when they were under 18, often on their own. 34% reached only primary school and the remainder have high schooling only and no additional training. They have few marketable skills and little work experience. On arrival in Bangkok, they find their employment opportunities restricted to unskilled manufacturing and service-sector occupations, and the commercial sex sector is one of the few places where they can earn a good wage. As a result, they easily get stuck in a cycle of unstable, unregulated or low-paid work. These women face a high risk of violence and exploitation as they are: - Often isolated in Bangkok and cut off from their usual support network back home. - Financially dependent on a particular employer or a relationship, and therefore unwilling to question any behaviour that might result in losing money to send for their families. - Often working in high-risk jobs where they feel easily replaceable, such as domestic homes, massage and entertainment parlours, and factories. We aim to help two groups: 1) Uneducated women who are already in Bangkok, either looking for work or stuck in a cycle of low quality employment. 2) Teenage girls who are at risk of falling into the same trap. The underlying philosophy of our organization is best found in the words of Ruby Manikan, "If you educate a man you educate a person, but if you educate a woman you educate a family."
