The Huntington Beach Sailing Foundation was established to promote the sport of sailing among youths. By doing so, the Sailing Foundation seeks to create an interest in, and develop youth enthusiasts of, local, national and international amateur sailing, competition, maritime education and stewardship of the environment. To achieve this goal, the foundation provides instructors, sailing equipment and facilities, and trained instruction to encourage youth participation in such maritime activities. Its activities are focused in and around Huntington Beach and its surrounding areas of southern California. The foundation reaches out to all youths in the area, including underprivileged, economically disadvantaged, and physically challenged youths, who would not normally have access to the sailing experience. Through its summer sailing program, the Sailing Foundation seeks to develop the skills of individuals to sail; to foster confidence and self-reliance in a way that enhances self-esteem and mental, spiritual and emotional development; to promote competition in a manner that encourages teamwork, leadership, good sportsmanship and honor; and to provide a structured environment and fun summer activity for children as they grow and develop into young adults. Sailing provides children (and adults) a unique sense of independence and freedom, while requiring responsibility, safety, teamwork and respect for the environment. A day on the water can create memories that last a lifetime. A summer on the water can build self-esteem, self-reliance and lifetime friendships.

United for Nature and Human (UNH) is a nonprofit organization committed to creating meaningful change for both people and the planet. Our mission is to provide targeted support to human communities and the natural environment by addressing their distinct needs through separate but equally impactful initiatives. We believe that both human development and environmental conservation deserve focused attention and tailored solutions. On the human development front, UNH works to uplift privileged and underprivileged communities by promoting access to mental health education, Access to education in remote areas & Education reform programs in cities, Women empowerment, address issues such as caste and social justice, quality education, basic healthcare, skill development, and livelihood opportunities. We support ordinary and marginalized populations, men, women, children, and rural communities and all people of Nepal through programs that improve health awareness, sanitation, nutrition and free them from social stigma. By offering vocational training and education resources, we help individuals become self-reliant and empowered to shape better futures for themselves and their families. In parallel, UNH is deeply committed to environmental protection. Our organization runs various campaigns and projects that focus on conserving biodiversity, restoring degraded land, promoting afforestation, and spreading environmental awareness. We work with local communities to implement sustainable practices in agriculture, waste management, and water conservation (We aim through our project to make water available in many parts of Nepal where it is difficult to find water in some places and have to travel 2 hours to get it). These efforts aim to protect natural ecosystems, combat climate change, and promote environmental responsibility among all age groups. Rather than blending the two focus areas, UNH recognizes that human and environmental challenges often require different approaches, resources, and strategies. We design separate programs that allow us to address each area with the specificity and dedication it demands. This ensures our interventions are more effective, measurable, and responsive to the unique challenges faced by people and nature individually. At United for Nature and Human (UNH), we envision a future where people thrive with dignity and nature flourishes in balance. Our work continues to grow through partnerships, community involvement, Government involvement and a commitment to integrity and impact in every sector we serve.
