Founded in 1994, SEEDS had one ultimate goal: building the resilience of people exposed to disasters and climate change impacts. For the last 27 years, we have been enabling this through practical solutions for disaster readiness, response and rehabilitation. Our approach has involved grafting innovative technology on to traditional wisdom. Over this time, our dedicated team has partnered families affected by disasters and climate emergencies in a variety of ways. Disaster survivors have had schools, homes and community infrastructure restored and upgraded. Marginalised communities have gained access to clean water, sanitation and health facilities. Nature-based solutions have been designed to help adapt to climate change in ecologically-sensitive areas. We have also invested in skill building, partnerships and advocacy to build the long-term resilience of at-risk communities. SEEDS continues to advocate for and work with communities across Asia to build a safer and more sustainable world. SEEDS Vision Transforming the vulnerable into resilient and thriving communities SEEDS Mission Equipping the most vulnerable with appropriate tools and technologies, sharing knowledge and skills, and promoting linkages among stakeholders to prevent life loss and suffering.
Communities In Schools (CIS) is the nation’s leading dropout prevention organization, with a mission to surround students with a community of support empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. For more than 30 years, CIS has connected needed community resources with schools. By bringing caring adults and a wide variety of services into schools to address children’s unmet needs, CIS provides a linkbetween educators and the community. The results of CIS’s model are that teachers are free to teach and students, many at risk of dropping out, have the opportunity to focus on learning. To help students stay in school, we identify and bring together in one place – public schools – all the resources and services available in the community that kids need to be successful. These services vary from one community to the next and from state to state and address specific needs such as academic support, mentoring, health care, family strengthening, career development, summer and after-school programs, alternative education models, and service learning. Today, the CIS network is comprised of nearly 5,000 passionate professionals working in close to 200 local affiliate nonprofits in 27 states and the District of Columbia, as well as 53,000 community volunteers, serving 1.2 million young people in more than 2,400 schools around the nation.
Established in 2004, Blue Dragon Children's Foundation protects and empowers children and adults who are victims or at-risk of trafficking. We rescue those who are homeless or have been trafficked for sexual and labour exploitation, providing them with immediate safety and comprehensive after-care support. Our holistic approach addresses the unique needs of each individual, offering services such as counselling, shelter, education, vocational training, employment opportunities, and everything else they need to live their lives and thrive. Beyond rescue and care, Blue Dragon collaborates with impoverished and at-risk communities to strengthen their resilience against trafficking and exploitation. By combining direct intervention with long-term prevention programs, we aim to reduce risks, protect vulnerable groups and create safer environments for children and families. Additionally, we draw on our experiences to advocate for systemic change, working toward improved policies and laws that protect children and youth across Vietnam. In 2024, we achieved significant milestones, expanding our operations to three new locations: Ho Chi Minh City, Nghe An province in central Vietnam, and Bac Lieu province in the Mekong Delta. With the continued support of our global community, we are reaching more children and families in need than ever, helping them overcome crises and build brighter futures.
The Initiatives Solidaries association began to take shape around 1992 at the initiative of a group of people who were aware of the situation of exclusion of disadvantaged young people and people in a situation of deprivation of liberty in the city of Valencia. These people, involved in different socio-educational projects of the Domus Pacis Association, created Iniciatives Solidaries in July 1993, a non-profit, independent association, with its own legal personality and full capacity to act, administer, dispose of its assets and give a comprehensive response to the problems of the aforementioned group. Based on a common philosophical and methodological affinity, we began with an objective, to prevent situations of social exclusion with minors, young people, prisoners and former prisoners while raising awareness in society about this problem and involving it in change through awareness and volunteering. Since the beginning of its journey, there have been many people who have passed through the entity, many difficulties and needs that have been overcome and many hopes for which it continues to work in favor of prevention, integration of the most disadvantaged and in favor of solidarity. Throughout this time, projects have been consolidated, intervention pathways developed and adapted, networks and collaboration forums expanded; Work has been done for the solidarity of citizens with the most disadvantaged and new channels of social participation have been opened.

Established in 2010, the Women's Support Center (WSC) is the premiere domestic violence (DV) center in Armenia dedicated to preventing and addressing domestic abuse. We work to protect, rehabilitate, and empower survivors and change the legal, educational, and social conditions that contribute to a culture of silence around DV. We make change in three key areas: service delivery, prevention, and strengthening of institutional responses. The WSC offers a 24-hour hotline, psychological counseling, legal aid, 2 safe houses, life and parenting skills education, and professional training, including a successful economic empowerment program. We advocate for women's rights and mobilize communities to change individual knowledge and attitudes about violence against women. Finally, we work at an institutional level to create community-based protection and accountability systems, enhance the capacity of key decision-makers, and support the implementation of multi-sectoral policies, action plans, and legislation. Annually, the WSC's 24-member staff provides comprehensive services to over 1,000 women and children, nearly 300 of whom require safe shelter. Today, many of our beneficiaries are living free of abuse, which has had a powerful ripple-effect on their families and communities at large. The WSC has a long history of successful partnerships with the police, ministries, and other government agencies as well as women's organizations and other community-based organizations. We have trained thousands of police, social workers, psychologists, students, health care providers, and other state and civil society service service providers across Armenia to apply best practices and strengthen the institutional DV response. Considered experts in our field, we are periodically called on by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MLSA), Council of Europe, UNHCR, and other agencies with whom we partner to lead DV training sessions. Additionally, we have produced and disseminated social work standard operating procedures, shelter best practices, and a police guideline. Our engagement and interventions with the MLSA and other key stakeholders have yielded significant outcomes: At the MLSA's request, we helped draft a 3-year National Action Plan and offered amendments to several sub-legal police orders. Moreover, the WSC played a pivotal role in dramatically improving DV legislation by presenting a comprehensive package of proposals to its authors, most of which were incorporated into the final legislation in 2024. Finally, the WSC was chosen by the MLSA in 2020 to lead a large-scale program to establish DV support centers in every province of the country. These centers are partially subsidized by the state and have come together as members of the Coalition of Domestic Violence Support Centers, founded and led by the WSC. Our database structure and intake forms have been approved by the MLSA as standards, and the WSC is responsible for ensuring that all DV support centers operate using a standardized approach and work together as a cohesive unit-ultimately enhancing the DV response nationwide.

Child Action is a UK registered charity specialising in education and personal development initiatives in India and the UK. The charity was founded by entrepreneur Dr Seema Sharma in response to the terrible poverty she witnessed in Mumbai whilst filming a documentary with Channel 4 as part of the Secret Millionaire series, during which she volunteered with several grassroots NGOs in India. Child Action's work reflects our passionate commitment to preventative strategies which ensure that marginalised groups of people living in India are given the help they need to achieve self-reliance and self-sufficiency. Together with our three local NGO partners, Doorstep School, Toybank and Apnalaya, we support the development of young people living in extreme poverty by creating learning opportunities for children living within Mumbai's most disadvantaged street and slum communities. Our personal relationships with these partner organisations enable us to communicate on a regular basis, ensuring an in-depth understanding of their needs. We undertake regular project monitoring and work with our partners to produce progress reports. This alleviates the administrative burden for the grass roots NGOs, maximising the impact of donor funds for our work in India. The work carried out by our partners is having a transformational and long-lasting effect on the lives of children who face the desperately unfair challenge of being born into families facing extreme poverty.

"FOR I KNOW THE PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU," declares the Lord "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11 Training For Christ Ministry (TFC) is committed to providing vocational, educational and spiritual mentoring for Guatemalan impoverished youth, regardless of their religion or gender. Our scholarship vocational training provides an opportunity for Guatemalan youth, that reside in remote underserved villages/hamlets, to learn a trade and thereby be a financially contributing member of their family and community. Training For Christ partners with local Christian Pastors (international churches located in students village) who provide each student with weekly spiritual mentoring and bible study. It is our hope and prayer that each student recognizes the gift God has given them and that each student develops a relationship with the Lord and become more Christ like in their earthly relationships and walk. Our students live in a Drug Cartel venue where there is no future hope or dreams other than drug trafficking, prostitution, human trafficking and gangs. In a nut shell, TFC provides an economic and spiritual alternative to illegal criminal activity that has had such a devastating impact on the poor and uneducated youth in Guatemala. Most families, if they can find work, earn less than 4 dollars a day...Travel cost to school city center costs $4.32 a day for each student - 3 buses each way. Is it no wonder that education beyond 5th grade is unobtainable for the impoverished youth in remote village areas far from city centers. Guatemala does have first rate private vocational schools located in city centers. However transportation is unaffordable and schools are usually 1 1/2 hours away. Tuition, uniforms, tools and supplies prevent any thought of obtaining a vocational education, even if transportation cost wasn't an issue. TFC makes it possible in an otherwise impossible situation. Our average program cost per child is approximately $1,800. Of this amount half the cost is for transportation. Course usually are two weekend days per week - auto mechanic is two years full time and cost $3,000 over two years. Courses offered range from sewing, cooking, baking, computer/phone repair, welding, auto mechanic, motorcycle repair, auto body shop, hair dressing, etc. Our students leave home at 5 AM and return at 7:30 PM...they are devoted and steadfast in their desire to learn. With the Lords continued blessings TFC will grow its list of graduates. It is our calling to be as flexible as one can be in meeting each students individual needs and that of their Family. Often, when a child goes to school it reduces the total family income, and in some cases prevents a child from attending school. TFC will supplement the family income when a child is attending school. TFC plans to build an all purpose building in the youths home village to provide family support, be it a nursery, parenting class, adult vocational training, etc. With God's blessings TFC will be successful with all the praise to the Lord. TFC is just one of many of the Lord's tools for the kingdom of God.
