We believe no child should be part of war. Ever. Children have the right to grow up in peace, free from fear and violence. To develop their full potential and become the person they want to be. War Child is committed to improve life of hundreds of thousands children in conflicted areas. War Child helps them to process their intense experiences, dare to reconnect with other children again and build self-confidence. They ensure that they learn how to read, write, count and learn a trade. Besides that, they create a safe environment where children can build a stable and above all, peaceful future. War Child does this worldwide. From Colombia to Afghanistan. Not because they like it that much. But because children are entitled to it. That is why they offer psychosocial support, education and protection to refugee and vulnerable children in fourteen countries. Because every child is entitled to a place where they can play safely, learn and recover from all misery.

Takalani children's home was established in May 1988 by Rev P. L. Van Langeveld together with the Reformed Church Synod Soutpansberg. The home started with only 11 children in total. Rev Van Langeveld was serving as a spiritual Pastor at Siloam Hospital (His service was to give pastoral care to the patients at Siloam Hospital). He came up with a vision of establishing a home for the abandoned, abused and orphaned children. He then approached the local Reformed churches under Synod Soutpansberg. The Synod welcomed the idea to establish a home for those children and appointed the board of directors to manage the home. The home was built near Siloam Hospital since most children were found wandering there, though children from different areas are also considered due to the need. The hospital social worker, the late Mr. Landela played a very crucial role in ensuring proper legal processes were adhered to. TCH accommodates a maximum of 80 children and currently, the home has 40 girls and 30 boys. Takalani children's home objectives: -To provide appropriate accommodation for the children who are in need of care under the age of 18 years. -To provide a healthy diet and appropriate clothing for the children in the care of TCH. -To promote healthy development by meeting medical needs and educational needs of the children in the care of TCH. - To create awareness of the needs and rights to all children in the care of TCH and to everyone associated with TCH. -To advocate, promote and support legislative and other measures designed to meet the needs and the rights of children. -To create opportunities for the children to explore their full creative and physical potential, as well as discover their talents and possible career path. -To take steps to remove conditions detrimental to the emotional and physical well-being of the children in the care of TCH. Our Mission TCH is committed to provide services to children for the fulfillment of their physical, emotional, social and intellectual needs Our Vision Takalani Children's Home (TCH) want to assist children who are in need of care to realize their potential and restore their identity Our Values Respect, dignity and privacy of fellow workers and children, love and caring, accountability, gender equity, commitment to the well-being of TCH, open door policy
Maison de la Gare's mission is to achieve integration of the begging talibe street children into formal schooling and productive participation in Senegalese society. Tens of thousands of talibe children beg on the streets of Senegal for 6 to 10 hours each day for their food and for money to give the "teacher" or Marabout who controls them. They live in unconscionable conditions in "daaras", without access to running water, rudimentary hygiene or nurture, often without shelter and subject to severe abuse. Human Rights Watch published a widely distributed description of this situation in 2010, "Off the Backs of the Children". Maison de la Gare is acting with the objective of ending talibe begging in Saint Louis, estimated to include over 7,000 boys between 3 and 19. Having started in rented quarters in the former train station or "gare", a permanent center was built in 2010 with the financial and organizational support of international partners. Programs at this Center will support the talibes of Saint Louis in obtaining a basic education or, for older talibes, learning marketable skills. The begging talibe situation is complex, deeply imbedded in the cultural and religious traditions of Senegal and Muslim West Africa. Although the United Nations' Committee on the Rights of the Child has called for action in its 1995 and 2006 "Concluding Observations", decisive action is politically difficult. Many initiatives have faltered by ignoring the cultural and societal realities of the situation. Maison de la Gare is working from within the present situation to effect permanent change. The organization's broad objectives are: 1. Integrate talibe children into the formal school system, through literacy classes and teaching the life skills necessary for success there. This objective includes providing literacy classes, hygiene instruction and nutritional support (allowing children to attend class when they would normally be begging for their food). It also requires documentation dossiers for individual children as necessary in the absence of any family support system. 2. Support talibes integrated into the school system with tutoring, nurturing and material support as necessary for success. This requirement will grow as more talibe are integrated into formal schooling. 3. Prepare Saint Louis talibe children, from the base of Maison de la Gare's Center, for integration into society, and support the success in Maison de la Gare's programs, through sports and arts programs, medical care, and nutritional and hygiene teaching and support. The talibes have in general NO access to medical treatment or support. Maison de la Gare has recently built an infirmary within the Center, and engages a nurse and hopes to train nursing aids. The Center's staff serves the medical needs of talibe children throughout Saint Louis, linking them to the Center and its programs and reinforcing relationships with the "Marabouts" who have control over them. 4. Prepare older talibes, age 15 and over, to be self supporting through apprenticeship programs, including tailoring and market gardening. This requires in-depth relationships with the talibe students, finding ways to reintegrate them into society, either in their home communities or in Saint Louis. 5. Collaborate actively with local, national and international initiatives working to end talibe street begging. Maison de la Gare's new Center has already made the Association a beacon for those concerned with a long term solution to the talibe problem, providing a base for establishing constructive working relationships with Marabouts around Saint Louis, the city administration, and with Amnesty International, Toscan, UNESCO and others acting for children on a national level.
To promote empowerment programs for better Health, Education and Livelihoods for disadvantaged populations. ................................................................................................... Here are some key areas where we seek partnership and support: 1. Education for Needy Children: We run programs that provide access to quality education for underprivileged children, ensuring they have the necessary resources and support to thrive in their academic pursuits. We provide fees, scholastic materials, uniforms and shoes to the disadvantaged children. We plan to fundraise, get fees and educational materials for needy children dropping out of school over poverty and abandonment. We plan to purchase land for the construction of a primary school for these children. 2. Women and Youth Empowerment: Our organization offers empowerment workshops, financial literacy trainings, and support services to help women and youth in marginalized communities achieve economic independence and self-sustainability. We are planning to establish a vocational training school for children who complete senior four and senior six and are unable to continue with the education over finances. We also plan to scale up our financial literacy training programs and train women in vegetable growing. 3. Environmental Conservation: We are actively involved in conservation efforts, including tree planting, waste management, and sustainable agriculture practices to preserve and protect our environment for future generations. Uganda was named the Pearl of Africa because of the beautiful scenery and climate but the forests and vegetation cover have reduced due to environmental degradation and the temperatures are now raising. We plan to establish nursery beds and plant one million trees in the eight districts of Rwenzori Western Uganda. We are doing this under our Greening Uganda Schools and communities Project. 4. Human Rights Advocacy: PLATFORM for the NEEDY advocates for the rights of vulnerable populations, including refugees, internally displaced persons, and marginalized groups, to ensure their voices are heard and respected. We plan to advance our advocacy to the deeper rural populations and refugees and take there our outreach counselling and training conferences and educate them with live drama episodes. 5. Maternal Health Initiatives: We have ongoing programs focused on improving maternal health outcomes through access to healthcare services, prenatal care, and maternal education. We intend to fundraise for the stunting children in Rwenzori region .Under this project we shall create more awareness using radio drama, social media, TVs, trainings and conferences for local leaders and health workers at all level, establish demonstration vegetable gardens at every household and every school and school debating competitions. We believe that by joining forces with Global Giving that offers visibility and connectivity to organizations with different partners and donors, we can leverage our collective strengths to create a more sustainable and equitable future for communities in Uganda and beyond. Your support will enable us to expand our reach, enhance our impact, and bring about positive change in the lives of those who need it most. We are delighted to have had the opportunity to view the video for onboarding and we hope this this partnership opportunity application will be considered. We've provide and attached more detailed information about our organization and programs. Thank you for considering this proposal, and we look forward to the possibility of working together to effect meaningful change in the world.
Fundatia Inima de Copil (Heart of a Child Foundation) was established in 1996 by a group of volunteers from Galati, Romania who decided to help the children in need. Today, the foundation has 30 employees and 30-40 volunteers monthly and supported in 23 years over 15.000 children and families. Our mission is to provide a better life for children in Romania.We hope to enhance the life quality of children in Romania, by providing social services and we fight to protect children's rights. All the projects carried out together with our sponsors and contributors are intended to reunite human and community resources, so that every child may benefit from home, a family, and fulfil their potential. Approximately 21,5% of Romanian children live in poverty, according to the Eurostat 2019 statistics, and this ratio is the highest in EU, where the media is 5,9%. Over 32% of children live in extreme poverty, shows a report issued by Save the Children and People's Advocate in 2019. This phenomenon is widely-spread and more worrying in rural areas. For example, almost 30% of the children from the organization's programs live in families with an income of less than 70 USD/month/ person. Another worrying figure is that 150.000 children go to sleep hungry at night, just before the COVID 19 crisis, and the statistics included only the children living in the rural area and it has been calculated on the basis of a study made in 2018 by Save the Children, in which 3% of children said that they are going to sleep hungry every night, and 5% just from time to time. The ones that are more exposed to this risk are the ones who have 2 or more siblings. At the same time, the data from the report indicates that Romania has the highest mortality rate of children from EU (2018 - 6,5.), with a separate chapter of mortality under 1 year old. More than half of the deaths under 1 year are produced in the first month of life (neonatal mortality). During the last years, the rate of school abandonment has remained high and worrying. 19% of the children at the national level and 25% of the ones from rural areas abandon school before finishing high-school. Most of them do this because of material deprivation or work exploitation when they are 12-14 years old. Functional illiteracy is also an alarming consequence of the inadaptation of the educational system to the needs of children. If we take into consideration the non-unified regional economical development of Romania and the high discrepancies between urban and rural areas, the highest number of children and families affected by poverty and its consequences are registered in SE and North and in rural areas. The nowadays COVID 19 crisis has emphasized these problems as people lost their jobs, the high number of children that did not have and still don't have access to digital education (the estimated number is 250.000 children at the national level and approx 12.000 in our area), the limited access to health services and hygienic supplies that translates into higher costs for families. In all these circumstances, our mission as an organisation is far more important. We are one of the most known and appreciated organisations that offer social services in the South East of Romania, having beneficiaries right now from 4 poor counties from Romania (Galati, Vaslui, Vrancea, Tulcea). Moreover, the present focus of the organisation and of future programs is concentrated on the rural area, on communities where we know that the chances for children's evolution are very limited without any support from the outside.

OUR MISSION.Our primary mission is to help children growing up in institutionalized homes prepare for life outside the home once they reach the age of 18. We offer support programs that increase a child's opportunity to become a productive and financially independent young adult in their community. This means helping kids develop and hone critical skills such as language, writing, digital literacy, etc., and ultimately increase confidence levels that can lead to new opportunities and choices in the future. Providing tutoring support, internship opportunities, as well as guidance on university/technical school options will offer children another critical layer of support as they start to make plans for their future. Developed skill sets, solid communication abilities, and a thorough understanding of their options will help set kids on the right path towards successful independence. This is no easy task for any child, but it can prove especially challenging for kids without continual 1:1 attention. It is our hope that by providing educational and mentoring-based support, we will be improving their overall chances.
Moses Welfare Foundation is a government-registered organization under the Societies Act 1860 in Pakistan, dedicated to empowering communities and transforming lives through comprehensive support programs. Our mission is to uplift underprivileged individuals and families by addressing critical needs in medical aid, food security, education, skills training, labor rights advocacy, and sports. We believe in fostering a society where every individual has equal opportunities to thrive, regardless of their financial or social background. Through our various initiatives, we aim to create a sustainable impact that leads to long-term community development and improved quality of life. Medical Aid and Healthcare Support Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, yet millions of people in Pakistan struggle to afford medical treatments and essential medicines. Moses Welfare Foundation is committed to bridging this gap by providing free and subsidized healthcare services to those in need. We work with hospitals, doctors, and healthcare professionals to offer medical check-ups, diagnostic tests, and life-saving treatments for the underprivileged. Our medical aid program also extends to providing financial assistance for surgeries, maternity care, and emergency medical situations. Through health camps and awareness programs, we educate communities about preventive healthcare, hygiene, and nutrition, ensuring a healthier future for all. Food Banks and Hunger Relief Food insecurity remains a major challenge for many families, particularly in rural and low-income urban areas. Moses Welfare Foundation operates food banks that distribute essential groceries and cooked meals to individuals and families facing hunger. Our food distribution initiatives prioritize daily wage laborers, widows, orphans, and elderly individuals who lack consistent access to nutritious food. During religious and national holidays, as well as in times of crisis, we expand our food relief programs to reach a larger number of beneficiaries. Our goal is not just to provide immediate relief but to work towards long-term solutions to eradicate hunger through sustainable food security programs. Education for All Education is a powerful tool that can break the cycle of poverty and open doors to countless opportunities. At Moses Welfare Foundation, we are dedicated to making quality education accessible to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. We provide scholarships, school supplies, and financial aid to students who struggle to afford tuition fees, books, and uniforms. Our programs also include after-school tutoring, career counseling, and mentorship initiatives to help students excel academically and develop the skills they need to succeed in life. We believe that an educated society is a progressive society, and we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow. Skills Development and Vocational Training Economic empowerment is a key aspect of our mission. We recognize that many individuals, especially youth and women, lack access to skill-building opportunities that can lead to stable employment or entrepreneurial ventures. Moses Welfare Foundation offers vocational training programs in various fields such as information technology, handicrafts, tailoring, and technical trades. By equipping individuals with practical skills, we enable them to secure jobs, start their own businesses, and achieve financial independence. Our training centers also provide career guidance, resume-building workshops, and job placement assistance to ensure that participants transition successfully into the workforce. Labor Rights Advocacy and Social Justice Many laborers in Pakistan face exploitation, unfair wages, and unsafe working conditions. Moses Welfare Foundation is a strong advocate for labor rights, working towards better policies and protections for workers in different industries. We provide legal assistance, awareness programs, and advocacy campaigns to help laborers understand their rights and fight for fair treatment. Our efforts also include collaborating with governmental and non-governmental organizations to push for labor reforms and social justice initiatives that benefit marginalized workers. We firmly believe that every worker deserves dignity, respect, and fair compensation for their labor. Youth Empowerment through Sports Sports play a crucial role in the physical, mental, and social development of young individuals. Our foundation actively promotes sports and recreational activities as a means of empowering youth and fostering community engagement. We organize tournaments, training sessions, and mentorship programs for aspiring athletes, ensuring they have access to the necessary resources and support. By encouraging sports participation, we aim to instill values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance among young individuals, helping them stay away from negative influences and lead healthier lifestyles. Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Natural disasters, pandemics, and other crises can leave communities vulnerable and in urgent need of support. Moses Welfare Foundation responds to emergencies by providing immediate relief in the form of food, shelter, medical aid, and financial assistance. Whether it's a flood, earthquake, or any other catastrophe, we mobilize our resources to ensure affected communities receive timely assistance. Our disaster relief efforts also include rebuilding homes, restoring livelihoods, and providing psychological support to help individuals recover from trauma and loss. Women and Child Welfare Programs Women and children are often the most vulnerable segments of society, facing issues such as domestic violence, lack of education, and economic dependency. Our foundation runs several programs aimed at empowering women through skills training, financial assistance, and legal aid. We also focus on child welfare by supporting orphanages, providing nutrition programs, and advocating for children's rights. By investing in women and children, we believe we are investing in the future of our nation. Community Development and Social Welfare A strong community is built on mutual support, collaboration, and shared progress. Moses Welfare Foundation undertakes various community development projects, including infrastructure improvements, clean water initiatives, and sanitation programs. We work closely with local leaders and organizations to address pressing social issues and create sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life for community members. Through volunteerism and active civic engagement, we encourage individuals to take part in social welfare activities and contribute towards building a more compassionate and united society. Sustainability and Future Goals At Moses Welfare Foundation, we believe in creating long-lasting impacts rather than short-term fixes. Our initiatives are designed to be sustainable, empowering individuals and communities to become self-sufficient over time. We continuously strive to expand our reach, improve our programs, and adapt to the changing needs of society. By leveraging partnerships, technological advancements, and innovative approaches, we aim to enhance the effectiveness of our initiatives and create a legacy of positive change.
Suncokret - Community Development Center is a non-governmental and non-profit organization founded in 2004 in Vrginmost. The organization operates in Sisak-Moslavina County with the aim of alleviating the negative psychological, social and cultural consequences of the war and social problems in the region. Suncokret's work is focused on improving the quality of life of all community members, with a special emphasis on children and youth, community reconstruction and support for the development of a sustainable, democratic civil society. Our activities are based on working with individuals, families, groups and communities, encouraging active participation and training. We support positive initiatives, encourage mutual cooperation and respect for differences. The organization is committed to building democratic values, civic initiative and participation, community development, volunteerism and altruism, equal sharing of responsibilities and equal opportunities for all, regardless of gender, religion or nationality. In recent years, Suncokret has expanded its activities aimed at children, youth and the elderly to the earthquake-affected municipality of Topusko and the city of Glina. Over the years, Suncokret has continuously represented a stable pillar of social support for children and youth in the community, despite fluctuations in relations with local institutions. Today, institutions rely on Suncokret's provision of support to children and youth, as well as creating employment opportunities and support for the elderly in the community. Through its regular activities, with the support of younger team members from the community who grew up in Suncokret, the center's key target groups have services they can rely on: children (support in learning), the elderly (visits to the nursing home in Glina, repairs and assistance to elderly households in the villages) and the working-age population (employment through public works). During twenty years of operation, Suncokret has provided support and empowerment to several generations of children and youth from Vrginmost (over 1000 of them), as well as adults and elderly in difficult socio-economic situations. In its work, Suncokret relies to a large extent on the support of international volunteers who represent the significant human resources available to the center. To the extent possible, the Sunflower team has always tried to positively influence the development of the community through its activities and work - international volunteers have enabled generations of children and young people to get to know other cultures and accept multiculturalism, improve their language, communication and other skills; while the local team provides and coordinates community service activities. At Suncokret, volunteering means sharing and learning: volunteers learn about organic gardening, permaculture and sustainability, and in turn empower Suncokret by sharing their skills with children and youth and supporting the local community through physical work. Volunteer support made it possible to arrange access to a source of drinking water, clean up the environment, help elderly and infirm people with landscaping, work in the garden and vegetable garden, and preparation for winter. Sunsokret annually hosts over 150 volunteers and records more than 10,000 volunteer hours in the community. Vision Strong, supportive and sustainable communities in Sisak-Moslavina County and beyond where young people have opportunities and all residents exercise their rights - communities ready for the future. Mission Suncokret creates inclusive, connected, sustainable and resilient communities by bringing together different generations, empowering them, building relationships of trust and solidarity between them and engaging in various intercultural interactions and activities tailored to the needs of the community. Suncokret mobilizes and organizes international volunteers who contribute to social inclusion, interculturalism and intergenerational cooperation with their engagement. Values Integrity - Suncokret works transparently, demonstrating responsibility and being accountable to the community and partners, thereby building trust and long-term support. Diversity - Suncokret believes in diversity and in accepting and respecting diversity not only as a basis for normal individual development, but as a prerequisite for building strong and resilient communities. Human Rights - The basic rights of every person in the local community in which Suncokret operates, which are in any way questioned, provoke a reaction from Suncokret. Inclusivity - Suncokret is committed to creating communities in which all community members, regardless of their age, gender, socioeconomic status, nationality, religion or any other differences, are equally included and have equal opportunities to participate in activities and make decisions. Inclusivity is the foundation for building a just and solidarily connected society. Civic Responsibility - Suncokret encourages active civic participation, empowering individuals to take responsibility for the life and well-being of their communities. Lifelong Learning - Suncokret bases its work on non-formal education and encourages lifelong learning for all age groups. Suncokret - Centre for Community Development is a Croatian non-governmental, non-profit organization founded as a response to the psychosocial needs of a rural, isolated, economically depressed postwar and post earthquake community facing high unemployment and depopulation. Suncokret undertakes community development work and aims to address negative psychological, social and cultural consequences of the social upheavals and post disaster response in the region, to improve the quality of life for all, but especially for deprived socially excluded members of the society, to promote community rebuilding, and support development of a sustainable democratic civil society. Reintegration and the improvement of life is essential in this area that suffered war and displacement and now again after the earthquakes needed help. Some lost their homes in the war and again in the earthquakes in 2020. Our activities assist in the reintegration of the community and ultimately contribute community building and development of inter-ethnic/national understanding, tolerance and reconciliation. Through our current activities the Community Center is a catalyst for civic and social change. Our organization promotes community development in a rural community. We aim to develop dialogue and interpersonal tolerance in a multiethnic environment through educational and creative activities and provide informal education of the local population in the post war area. We encourage and empower civil society through education, volunteerism and activism and improve the quality of life by providing education, supporting the civil society and preserving the environment. We organise international volunteer camps, local community actions and service projects and by provide education, access to information and a variety of activities otherwise not readily available in this postwar area. Suncokret creates inclusive, connected, sustainable and resilient communities by bringing together different generations, empowering them, building relationships of trust and solidarity between them and engaging in various intercultural interactions and activities tailored to the needs of the community.
