Outreach International is a global nonprofit that supports local leaders and community-led groups who develop lasting solutions to poverty-related issues.Together with local leaders, we empower communities to organize, prioritize and mobilize to identify their needs, and then access the resources necessary to overcome challenges and reach their goals. Along the way, communities gain the experience of working together toward a shared objective, as well as the confidence that comes from achieving success through collaboration. Our mission is to confront the injustice of chronic poverty through community-led action. Facilitating the fundamentals of participatory development ensures that those most affected by poverty-related issues become those best equipped to permanently resolve them.

GeoHazards International works to reduce loss of life and suffering around the world in communities most at risk from earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and floods. Our vision is a world of self-reliant communities - rural and urban - that can continue their economic, political and cultural development unimpeded by natural disasters. GHI helps communities avert disaster by creating safer buildings, assessing geophysical hazards, helping governments affordably prepare, and educating residents about what to do in the face of high risk. GHI bridges the gap between scientific experts and the people in developing countries who want to take action. In each case we work with communities toward locally appropriate and lasting solutions.

SCA International's vision to expand the reach and impact of our ministry cannot be accomplished without, first and foremost, God's direction, using His people in the process. We have nine Field Missionaries who work in British Columbia and Ontario. These missionaries minister to Canada's isolated people in various and creative ways. Whether traditional or more advanced in their methods, they seek to be "all things to all men" with appropriate approach for the audience they are trying to reach for Christ. We also have four Ministry Centres - British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario. These Centres minister to the needs of families and individuals through summer camps, after school programs in the surrounding communities, counselling, family sessions, and retreats.

Using all possible public information and training programs, in cities in the world where issues related to social exclusion arise (such as problems of shelter, food, access to care, psychological suffering and any other consequence of rejection and the breakdown of human, economic and social links), to create, promote and support services similar to those operated by "Samusocial de Paris" meeting the criteria set out in the objectives and charter of Samusocial International, and to develop all missions directly or indirectly related thereto. The Association's objectives shall also include collecting funds and organising finance on national territory to support Samusocial organisations, in accordance with the spirit of Paris Samusocial and, in the same conditions, creating, supporting and assisting the action, research and special interests of Samusocial organisations overseas.

BATIK International is a solidarity association that works to strengthen the power of choice and action of vulnerable individuals and communities in France and internationally, in order to contribute to more egalitarian and inclusive societies. To this end, the association aims to support empowerment processes, particularly for women and gender minorities, youth, and migrants, to reveal their talents, so that they regain the power to build a better future and become agents of transformation in their lives. This work is reinforced by rights promotion, awareness-raising, and advocacy initiatives that promote lasting and sustainable solutions, and by any other means likely to contribute to the fight for social justice and equality. To ensure the sustainability of the actions implemented, we also offer support to our partners, civil society organizations in the regions where the programs are implemented. Because women find themselves at the intersection of several inequalities, the association places gender equality at the heart of its actions.

CORE International focuses on developing partnerships and programs to address the self-identified needs of excluded people. We also work to build ‘bridges’ between groups of people, organizations, and individuals who are able to provide services and support. CORE has identified seven priorities for our development focus including: • Gender and Social Inclusion • Literacy, Education, and Participatory Learning and Action • Sustainable use of resources to improve the livelihoods of the poor • Primary Health Care • Micro-enterprise projects • Appropriate alternative technology and innovations • Indigenous Knowledge. Although many of these priorities are linked, in our first year of operation we are focusing on literacy projects, which include addressing the issue of gender and social inclusion. We have prioritized working in Nepal or India for the immediate future, though we intend to expand to other countries as our organization gains experience and resources.

Our international initiatives aim to support the change we want to see in the world by empowering and encouraging student change agents and supporting them in actively creating shifts in the way curricula are structured and developed. Our focus is on economics and management education, including multiple transdisciplinary perspectives and learning approaches. With our work, we provide fertile ground for the leaders of tomorrow to grow and learn: Our philosophy is that to support individuals in becoming sustainability leaders, education has to focus on fostering students to have "...an enhanced understanding of themselves, their abilities and desires, as well as a more profound understanding of their fellow humans and the world they inhabit. For over 30 years we have been continuously innovating with formats that provide platforms for learning, creating and sharing solutions: social labs, conferences, webinars, workshops, simulation games, learning journeys are just some examples. At oikos, we have been coming together as a global community of student change agents for over 30 years. Spread in over 20 countries and 50 cities worldwide, we organize on campus to raise awareness for sustainability and transform our own education.

We, IMO International, have been organising a Walkathon on Sunday the 12th May 2024 at Richmond Park to raise funds to complete building Indoor Sports Complex in Jaffna, Sri Lanaka.This is the first indoor sports complex which will be opened to the public with facilities to practice and play indoor and outdoor games. There is also a dedicated first floor for gym.Since Northern and Eastern province have gone through immense struggle due to the 30 years of civil war and the people who live there still go through lots of mental health issues, PTST, alcohol and drug misuse and addiction. We believe that having the sporting and gym facilities will give lots of encouragement and opportunity for these community to overcome the atrocity that they went through. We are really passionate about this community’s wellbeing as we had migrated from the same part of this world and went through all what they have gone through. However, we wanted to share little what we enjoy here to the people over there. This building will facilitate and promote sporting activity mainly among children and youth in Valikamam North and beyond. This way, we are hoping to build a physically and mentally healthy society and subsequently healthy nation.Words cannot express how much your donation means to us. We are so grateful for your partnership in making a difference in our journey!THE BEST WAY TO FIND YOURSELF IS TO LOOSE YOURSELF IN THE SERVICE OF OTHERS- Mahatma GhandiHAPPY GIVING!

Femme International is committed to using education, conversation & distribution to break down the global menstrual taboo. Menstruation affects 51% of the world's population, with every woman experiencing menses during her lifetime. For menstruators in low-income communities, getting your period presents a set of specific challenges - poor access to menstrual products, oppressive taboos, lack of adequate hygiene facilities, and lack of reproductive health education. 83% of girls in Burkina Faso, and 77% in Nigeria (UNICEF) have no place to clean themselves at school, and will therefore leave early. The World Bank has estimated that girls will miss 10-20% of her education because of her body's natural cycle. Femme believes that providing adolescent girls not only with reusable menstrual products, but also comprehensive education, empowers them to feel in control of their bodies, and breaks down the menstrual taboo. When women lack access to sanitary pads, either by financial constraints or lack of availability, they will use alternative methods. In India, 88% of menstruating women use homemade methods. In Tanzania, the most common method is to use rags, or cloth, folded into the underwear - something women have been doing for centuries. However, when the cloth is not washed properly, used when damp, or shared among sisters, it becomes unsafe. Other homemade methods common in Tanzania include foam mattress stuffing, newspaper, leaves, even mud. These methods are not safe or hygienic, and they are uncomfortable, preventing girls from being able to concentrate or participate in school. They also don't help girls feel comfortable during a week when they are already feeling ashamed of their bodies. Unsafe menstrual management is a leading cause of reproductive tract infections (UTIs, yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis), which when untreated can cause more serious health concerns. The decision to use and promote reusable products is because sanitary pads are unaffordable for many women. The average cost of a package of 8 pads in Tanzania is approximately $1/day, which is often the same as the daily wage for an unskilled labourer. For a 14-year old girl, she will rarely feel comfortable asking the male breadwinner for this money, and they will rarely be able to provide her with it. A study in Kenya indicated that one in ten girls aged 15 had engaged in transactional sex to purchase pads. In rural Tanzania, or even urban centers, there is no method of garbage disposal beyond burning. Many women report burying their products, but must do so far away from their homes because of the perceived destructive powers of menstrual blood. The environmental impact of disposable menstrual products is staggering, and unsustainable, both financially and environmentally. The Twaweza Project is simple - and it works. Preliminary M&E reports demonstrate significant impact, including improved academic results and attendance, improved self-confidence, reduction of financial stress, and improved health. Adolescent beneficiaries are two times less likely to report symptoms of bacterial vaginosis.
