FWI reduces the suffering of farmed fish by researching and executing evidence-based interventions in high-priority contexts.

The mission of Fish Welfare Initiative (FWI) is to reduce the suffering of farmed fish as much as possible. We do that specifically by researching and testing evidence-based welfare interventions, and then implementing them in high priority contexts. Our main implementation program right now focuses on collaborative farmer outreach in India to improve water quality and reduce stocking densities. As of this writing, this program currently works with about 100 farms (www.fwi.fish/farmers). FWI also invests significantly in research to identify and test more promising welfare improvements (www.fwi.fish/post/rnd-plans-2024).

Thanks to the support of all those who have donated, as of this writing FWI estimates that we have improved the lives of about 1.5M fish. You can learn more about our impact and how we came up with these numbers at www.fwi.fish/impact.

2024 - 2025 : Together, let's bring the Grottoes of Vaux-le-Vicomte back to life !

**The International Friends of Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte is a charitable fund set up in February 2012. The Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte is one of France's most treasured institutions, celebrated for its art historical, architectural, and botanical importance and the devoted stewardship of its owners.**

**It was constructed from 1641 to 1661 for Nicolas Fouquet, the superintendent of finances for the king Louis XIV.**

**It was the first large-scale collaboration between the three major 17th-century figures in architecture, interior decoration, and landscape design: Charles Le Brun, Charles Le Brun, André Le Nôtre.**

**Owned by the de Vogüé family since 1875, each successive generation has devoted themselves to its stewardship.** 

**The Mission Statement of this fund is to bring together a devoted community of supporters, who together with the de Vogüé family, safeguard the Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte through the preservation of its architecture, art, and gardens and promote the chateau's legacy and profound contributions to the arts. This statement of purpose has guided the château since Count Patrice de Vogüé, opened the family home to the public in 1968.**

**Today, his three sons Alexandre, Ascanio and Jean-Charles, carry the torch.**



**Our capital campaign - *Retour aux Sources* - aims to revive the Waterworks in the Le Nôtre's garden of Vaux-le-Vicomte**

 An underground reservoir around 885 feet long collects rainwater by means of two underground gritstone water channels. The water then feeds the fountains through the force of gravity alone (Vaux is the only remaining site in France where no other energy than gravity is used). This system only allows the fountains to operate for a limited time and it is sometimes necessary to wait over a week for the reservoir to refill.

In keeping with the authenticity of the area, the objective is to operate the 22 fountains of the garden on a daily basis, without interfering with the layout or the hydraulic system designed by André Le Nôtre, modernizing only the way in which the underground reservoir is filled. By drawing water from the river and nearby sources, the water supply to the fountains will remain natural. The gravity-based circuit will work in the same way as it did in the seventeenth century, with particular attention being paid to the economical and respectful management of our primary resource: water.

 

After restoring the two basins of the *Cours d’honneur* of the château and the *Gerbe d’Eau* (for a total of us$ 1,5 millions, the next step is to restore The Grottoes.

A masterpiece designed by Louis Le Vau and André Le Nôtre, the Grottoes are the centerpiece of the gardens. Located on the main axis, they catch the eye from the south steps of the château. This grandiose setting is enhanced by a superb sculptural ensemble of eight atlas, river divinities and sandstone lions. Surrounding the Grottoes, the gushing water basins enrich this monumental setting with two *Bassins ronds* and the two *Bassins aux Grenouilles.* The whole complex rests on a retaining wall, thereby concealing an underground reservoir essential for supplying the fountains in the lower gardens. This structure of rare splendor as much as a feat of engineering is essential to the realization of our grand project *Retour aux Sources*, which aims to have all the fountains operational throughout the entire public opening season.

Between now and 2028, a number of projects will be carried out to restore the Grottoes to their former glory. A vast program, commensurate with the size of the building, is orchestrated in 3 major phases. 

**Phase 1 : The Lower Basin of the Grottoes and The Monumental Staircases**

This first stage encompasses waterproofing work on the Lower Basin of The Grottoes, masonry work to reinforce its banks and The Monumental Staircases that flank them on either side. *The Grille d’Eau*, with its 10 jets, will be refurbished to restore its aquatic spectacle.

**Global cost: us$ 1,270,000 and work will start in 2026.**

 

**Phase 2 : The Bassins Ronds and Bassins aux Grenouilles**

The second stage will focus on the work on the *Bassins aux Grenouilles* and *Bassins Ronds* (masonry, landscaping and water jet fittings), with particular attention to the preservation of historic materials.

**Global cost: us$ 1,210,000 and work will start in 2027.**

 

**Phase 3 : The Grottoes retaining wall**

Restoration of its concretions, its gigantic atlas sculptures and the hydraulic system, all to ensure the proper functioning of the fountains and the visual harmony of the site.

**Global cost: us$ 1,210,000 and work will start in 2027.**



***Dear Friends,***

***More than ever, your support is key to restoring this masterpiece and safeguarding the future of our Retour aux Sources project.***

***Of course all donations are welcome and will contribute to make this project happen.***

***I personally express my sincere and warmest gratitude for your support!***

ALLFED aims to increase the resilience of the world's food systems to global catastrophic food shocks.

The mission of Alliance to Feed the Earth in Disasters (ALLFED) is to help build resilience to global catastrophic food system failure.

ALLFED seeks to provide practical, affordable, and resilient food solutions so that, in the event of a global catastrophe, governments, industry, and communities can respond quickly and distribute food equitably, saving lives and promoting the continuation of global cooperation.

However, ALLFED currently faces a major funding gap: **Without new funding, we will need to cut half of our budget by June 2025**. This will mean significantly scaling down our programs, including our research output, and the ability to support governments in preparing for global food system shocks.

We focus on events, such as large volcanic eruptions, pandemics, and cyberattacks, which could deplete 5% or more of global calorie output, or access to those calories. In such events, the loss of food would likely kill far more people than the catastrophe itself directly.

“Resilient food solutions'' are what ALLFED calls the foods, technologies, and systems that could help everyone survive global catastrophic food failure. ALLFED’s ultimate goal is to feed everyone, no matter what.

With 2,000+ members, a network of 47 community gardens, planting food and practicing resilience for our collective future. 

Founded in 1998, the **Los Angeles Community Garden Council (LACGC)** was established to create safe, green spaces in underserved urban neighborhoods. Over the past two decades, LACGC has transformed vacant lots into thriving community gardens, fostering food security, social connections, and environmental stewardship. Today, LACGC oversees a decentralized **network of 47 community gardens** with more than 2,000 members serving about 6,000 people across Los Angeles County.

In 2024, with a new executive director, LACGC shifted from a "hub-and-spoke" model to a **decentralized, peer-to-peer network**, where gardens function as "living laboratories." Each garden is in many ways an experimental space for testing different approaches to self-governance, food production, and community resilience. This new model allows for greater innovation and flexibility while maintaining a collective framework for learning and resource-sharing across the network.

**Living Laboratories: Gardens as Experimental Hubs**

Each garden operates as a **living laboratory**, experimenting with governance models, sustainability practices, and community-driven solutions. Some gardens prioritize food production, while others focus on becoming resiliency hubs with initiatives like **cool zones** to mitigate heat or water capture systems for sustainability. This decentralized framework empowers gardens to address the unique needs of their communities while contributing to larger, systemic goals like climate resilience and social equity.

To promote the creative participation in society of those differently abled, through ecological agriculture and expressive arts.

Since our inception we have created opportunities for people of All Abilities to be impactful within our local food system and community.  For our Farmers of All Abilities and their loved ones, we have tried to address the  issue of ‘aging out' of the school system, which often leads to lack of support services, isolation and fear for the future given the difficulties of living with a (dis)ability. At Orkestai our community tends to a no-till garden, pastured poultry, does yoga and other movement exercises and enjoys culinary and art projects. During Overwintering, we spend more time the forest, connecting with nature through shelter building, firemaking, wildlife tracking and more. Donations support our programmming, allowing us to provide year-round wholesome opportunities to be in nature, creating and growing in community.

Precision Development (PxD) harnesses data-driven innovation to support smallholder farmers. 

Precision Development (PxD) is a global nonprofit organization that acts as a bridge between smallholder farmers and the innovations they need. We design, test, iterate and scale services that enable farming households to manage risks and increase their incomes. We also advise governments on digital agriculture strategy.

Our primary innovation has been providing high-impact digital agricultural information to smallholder farmers via mobile phones. Evidence from randomized evaluations shows that PxD’s services improve farmers’ production, profits, and climate resilience and are extremely scalable and cost-effective to deliver to millions of farmers. For instance, a recent study of our flagship service in India estimates that in the long run, every $1 invested in the service will generate agricultural profits of $12 – $19.

The Opportunity

Roughly 570 million smallholder farmers, owning less than 2 acres of land, produce 30% of the world’s food. However, farmers in low—and middle-income countries (LMICs) typically harvest just 25-45% of their land potential ([FAO](https://openknowledge.fao.org/server/api/core/bitstreams/32709b4d-ed41-4b1e-9d37-91786824cb9e/content)). Climate change amplifies these challenges, bringing unpredictable weather patterns and shifting growing seasons that disrupt crop yields and livelihoods. These fluctuations jeopardize food security, farmer livelihoods, and the well-being of farming communities. Smallholder farming households are home to 80% of the world’s poor, and improving their livelihoods is one of the most promising solutions to global poverty ([FAO](https://www.fao.org/reduce-rural-poverty/overview/en/)).

While numerous cost-effective agricultural innovations exist to help farmers, these solutions don’t often reach the right people at the right time. Private markets often lack incentives to scale these innovations, and LMIC governments often lack the capacity or resources to deliver them. For instance, only 6-21% of farmers in India have access to in-person government agricultural extension (Cole and Sharma, 2017; Cole et al., 2024).

PxD’s Role

PxD acts as a bridge between smallholder farmers and the innovations they need. We design, test, iterate and scale services that enable farming households to manage risks and increase their incomes. Our flagship innovation delivers high-impact, actionable digital agricultural information directly to smallholder farmers via their mobile phones.
In 2024, PxD’s services reached over 18 million farmers across Asia and Africa.

Key elements of our approach

- Farmer FirstWe are focused on reaching the poorest farmers and designing services that meet their needs where they are.  By applying human-centred design and behavioural science, we deeply understand our users, identify constraints, gather rapid feedback, and create, iterate, and scale services that maximize impact for farmers.
- Scale and Value for MoneyOur focus is on developing innovative services with the potential to reach hundreds of millions of people while maintaining very low marginal costs for additional users. The benefits of these services far outweigh the costs of scaling them.
- Solution-AgnosticWe prioritize understanding the right solution for each context rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all approach or promoting a single product or platform. Our goal is to foster a diverse ecosystem of services—developed by PxD and others—that are accessible at scale rather than exclusively promoting our own solutions.
- Evidence-LedWe use evidence from social and agricultural sciences to identify promising innovations and inform service design. Through rigorous experimentation, we evaluate our services, scale those that work, and refine or discontinue those that don’t. We openly share our findings with the global research, implementation, and policy communities.
- Continuous ImprovementWe continuously learn from our services’ vast engagement and adoption data alongside advanced technologies like remote sensing. We collaborate with partners and external experts to incorporate cutting-edge science (artificial intelligence, machine learning ) that enables efficient learning and adaptation over time.
- SustainableWe scale through partnerships with governments, nonprofits, and the private sector, which keeps user acquisition costs low and ensures that services remain free for farmers. We integrate these services into local systems, gradually transferring the necessary skills, capacity, and systems to government partners to ensure long-term sustainability.

Our Organisation

PxD was founded in 2016 by a team of visionary development economists and experts dedicated to harnessing innovation for global impact. Our founders include Nobel laureate Michael Kremer, Shawn Cole, Dan Björkegren, and Heiner Baumann.

Why Support Crop Diversity?

The world is losing crop diversity and crop relatives in the wild at an alarming rate. This diversity is important for a healthy food supply in the face of climate change and other environmental pressures. If we rely on only a few crops, we miss opportunities to develop new crops or revive existing varieties for food security and global well-being.

Crop diversity that is safely conserved and available to researchers and farmers provides options to respond to an uncertain future. A diversity of crops and diversity within crops give us diverse opportunities.

By donating to the Crop Trust, you invest in the conservation of crop diversity and make it available for use forever and for the benefit of everyone.

Despite all the progress over the last 15 years, the work has only taken place on 30% of GreenEarth's endowed land. and we have ways to go!  We can plant 40,000 more trees on our Phase 1 development of 32 hectares plus the need to build access roads, pathways and hiking trails, before we hop on over to our Phase 2 development of 75 hectares.   We can continue to scale up our livelihoods in organic agriculture by continuing to build the density of our raw materials  in hardwoods, fruit-bearing trees and ornamental plants, if we were to dream big and be a global purveyor of certified-organic products, which will bring in a tremendous amount of livelihood for the rural poor in our catchment community.  

Our **MISSION** is to preserve the environment, to adhere to sound and sustainable organic agricultural practices and to help in the alleviation of poverty through livelihood, education and community development.

It is our **VISION** to build a model eco-farming community on our land donation, skillfully master planned to allow for future-allocated areas for forests, schools, libraries, parks, marketplaces, sports and recreational facilities, community training centers, to name a few, all for the benefit of indigent farming families who have decided to hinge their life’s hopes for a brighter future on our mission and programs.

We are praying for committed monthly givers who can partner with us even for USD 10/ month. It is the power of numbers that will help us together transform land and transform lives. 

Hope you can join us!

Locally led. The last pot to boil. The last door to shut. A U.S. nonprofit (2024) focused on food, farming & survival in Gaza.

🍲 Gaza Soup Kitchen: Feeding 10,000 People Daily

As famine tightens its grip and markets collapse, Gaza Soup Kitchen is still boiling pots—feeding 1,000 people every day with dignity and determination.

We were the first soup kitchen in North Gaza to lean on local farmers and forage from nature to keep people alive. When others paused, we adapted. When supplies ran out, we improvised.

Today, we operate across 11 kitchens, run a community clinic, and deliver clean water and hot meals to hospitals—even in the hardest-hit zones.

This is survival work, done by people living through the very crisis they’re responding to.

Support the last pots still cooking.

Kiva powers a global movement to expand financial access for a world where all people hold the power to improve their lives.

**1.4B people lack access to basic financial services. We believe financial access should not be a privilege for some, but a right for all.**

Kiva is a nonprofit that envisions an equitable world where everyone, regardless of economic circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive. Kiva helps underserved communities access and use financial services with confidence and independence while building resilience to financial shocks. With financial inclusion, alongside improved financial literacy and skills, people can start and grow businesses, invest in their local economies, and build assets that improve generational outcomes for families and communities.

**By supporting Kiva, you support someone else’s dreams.**

Learn more about [our impact](https://kiva.org/impact) and how we're reaching populations most overlooked by traditional financial institutions, including:

- [Underbanked women](https://www.kiva.org/gender-equality): Globally, over 740 million women lack access to financial services due to systemic gender biases, collateral requirements, and restrictive societal norms or laws. Kiva addresses these barriers by prioritizing women borrowers, with over 80% of our loans supporting women, and robust programs to help our partners adopt gender-forward policies and products.
- [Refugees and displaced people](https://www.kiva.org/impact/refugees): With over 100 million individuals displaced by conflict and disasters—a number expected to rise—access to capital is crucial for rebuilding lives, yet traditional financial service providers view refugees as too risky. Since 2016, Kiva has extended loans to refugees with a 97% repayment rate, dispelling myths and breaking through systemic barriers.
- [Systemically marginalized communities in the U.S.](https://www.kiva.org/impact/systemically-marginalized-communities)[ystemically marginalized communities in the U.S.](https://www.kiva.org/lp/us-impact): There are significant gaps in capital access for marginalized U.S. entrepreneurs. Since 2011, Kiva has supported 10,000 borrowers (of which 72% are BIPOC) with 0-interest, 0-fee loans. Our data shows that 76% of borrowers could not secure funding elsewhere, highlighting Kiva's role as a critical financial lifeline for small businesses. 
- [Communities impacted by climate change](https://www.kiva.org/impact/climate-affected-people): Climate change hits low-income communities hardest, exacerbating their vulnerability. Kiva supports these communities, particularly smallholder farmers, by providing resources to adapt and build resilience against environmental challenges.

An integrated and sustainable community-based orphan care program, championing the African kinship foster care and education.

1.0 Background of The Mango Tree Kenya (TMTK)

TMTK was established in 2006 with the primary aim of providing integrated community-based support to orphans and families affected by HIV/AIDS in Homa Bay County, Kenya. This region, situated along the shores of Lake Victoria, was one of the hardest hit by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The devastating impact of the virus left thousands of children orphaned and facing uncertain futures. TMTK was created as a response to this crisis, working towards ensuring that orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) receive the care, support, and opportunities they need to thrive.

The organization envisions "a thriving child in a safe community and a healthy environment" and works toward this vision through its mission: to facilitate mechanisms that guarantee children’s safety, growth, and development within safe communities and healthy environments. This is done primarily through capacity-building initiatives aimed at empowering individuals and communities to take charge of their situations.



1.1 Programmatic Approach

TMTK’s programmatic approach is built on three guiding models: a Community-Based Approach, a Human-Centered Design Model, and a Co-Creation Model. These models allow the communities to be the key decision-makers in addressing their challenges, with TMTK acting as a facilitator. TMTK works through three key programmatic areas:

a) The Mango Tree Orphan Support Trust: This program addresses the immediate needs of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). It focuses on creating safe, nurturing environments for these children by providing family-based foster care. Additionally, it emphasizes climate-smart agriculture, which reduces the harmful effects of climate change while providing sustainable livelihoods for families.

b) The Mango Tree Education Trust: This program focuses on providing access to quality education for vulnerable girls, survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), adolescent girls, and young women. Through the construction and completion of The Mango Tree Girls School and Rescue Center, TMTK is working to provide a safe and supportive environment for vulnerable girls to access secondary education.

c) Mango Tree Farmers Cooperative: This initiative transforms subsistence farming among OVC caregivers into sustainable agribusiness ventures, allowing families to generate income and improve their livelihoods.

The organization’s projects focus on rural areas in Kenya that have been deeply affected by HIV and AIDS. Poverty, limited access to education, environmental destruction, and resource depletion pose major challenges to these communities, where many children drop out of school after primary education. TMTK also addresses climate change, working to create sustainable solutions for the future.



1.2 Governance Structure

TMTK is governed by a Board of Trustees (BoT) with long-standing experience in various fields. The BoT provides strategic oversight to the organization, while the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who also serves as the Director, manages daily operations. The organization employs 20 staff members who possess expertise in community programming, education development, and climate-smart agriculture. These staff members are supported by a network of 175 village volunteers.



1.3 Core Values

The organization's core values reflect its commitment to empowering communities and fostering sustainable development. These values include:

Respect and Collaboration: TMTK builds genuine relationships with people who share common goals, respecting local knowledge and expertise. The organization believes rural communities can lead significant changes in their lives, and its work builds on the communities’ solutions.

Accountability and Integrity: TMTK is accountable to the people it aims to assist, as well as to the government and its partners. The organization maintains transparency, strong financial accountability, and honest communication.

Courage and Innovation: TMTK supports communities in challenging the root causes of poverty and advocates for gender equality and child rights. It also protects vulnerable groups from harm.

Sustainability and Empowerment: TMTK’s projects are tailored to meet the real needs of the people, encouraging grassroots empowerment and promoting self-sufficiency. This approach also helps stimulate social responsibility within the community.



2.0 Critical Success Factors (CSFs)

TMTK’s approach has led to several significant achievements:

Community-Based Orphan Care: TMTK has provided community-based care to over 8,000 orphans. This approach, which moves away from institutional orphanages, offers a nurturing environment for the children within their own communities.

Community Sensitization and empowerment: TMTK’s participatory processes have helped change the mindset of local communities. Many now understand the importance of contributing their time and resources toward their own development, care for their children, involved in livelihood improvement and environmental conservation. 

Local Volunteers: TMTK has developed and engaged a group of local champions, including village volunteers and community development support committees. These individuals act as essential links between the communities and project staff.

Alumni Network: Over 4,000 orphans and vulnerable children supported by TMTK have completed tertiary education and are now working in various professional fields across Kenya. They form a formidable alumni network that actively supports TMTK’s work.

Support for Children with Disabilities: TMTK has provided corrective surgeries and education for over 100 children with disabilities, including the blind, deaf, and physically challenged, many of whom have gone on to find employment.



Partnerships: TMTK has developed reciprocal partnerships with organizations such as TMT (UK), Egpaf, LVCT Health, GlobalGiving, and B1G1. These partnerships have provided financial and technical support for TMTK’s programs.

Advocacy Networks: TMTK is a member of various networks, including the Homa Bay Sustainable Development Trust (HOSDET), Lake Region Food Systems Network, and FEMNET, amplifying the voices of vulnerable groups in the community.



3. Key Areas of Intervention

TMTK focuses on five key areas:

a) Family-Based Care: Promotes community-based, family-oriented care for OVC as a better alternative to institutional orphanages.

b) Education and Skills Development: Provides scholarships, builds school infrastructure, and offers vocational training for disadvantaged children, especially girls.

c) Health and Wellbeing: Supports children affected by HIV/AIDS, conducts corrective surgeries, provides sexual and reproductive health education, and offers water and sanitation services.

d) Environment and Livelihoods: Promotes climate-smart agriculture and environmental conservation while supporting alternative livelihoods for vulnerable households.

e) Institutional Capacity Development: Strengthens governance and management structures to ensure organizational sustainability.



4. Achievements 

TMTK’s impact includes:

•	Supporting 8,000 orphans in their communities and transitioned 35 orphans from institutional care to family-based homes.

•	Enabling over 3,000 children to complete their education and graduate with professional and technical skills.

•	Empowering 1,692 farmers with climate-smart agricultural skills.

•	Establishing 1,127 women-led village enterprises.

•	Rescuing over 100 girls from sexual exploitation.

•	Planting over 314,000 tree seedlings as part of its environmental conservation efforts.

TMTK has become a trusted partner in building stronger, self-reliant communities through these interventions.

We are committed to the development and economic growth of families in rural areas of Mexico.

**A Future Built by Oaxacan Hands** 

In the rugged, breathtaking landscapes of Oaxaca, Mexico, a quiet revolution is taking place. It's not a revolution of force, but of hope—one where communities are rebuilding their own futures, one project, one family, one life at a time. 

For generations, families in the Mixteca and Mixe regions have faced immense challenges. But what if we told you there was a way to support their resilience, to empower them to thrive on their own terms? 

This is where *Proyectos para un Futuro Mejor* (PFM) comes in. We don't just provide aid; we walk alongside these communities, offering the tools and knowledge they need to create lasting change. We believe that true development comes from within, which is why we focus on projects that are sustainable, respectful, and designed to uplift the human spirit. 

**Mission** 
Support sustainable projects that provide economic, family, and social stability through processes of human, organizational and productive development in rural communities of the State of Oaxaca. 

**Vision**
Improve the quality of life of rural families and community development in the State of Oaxaca.   

**Your support is a direct investment in a family's future.** 

- *Growing a Legacy, Not Just a Crop:* Our agricultural programs don't just teach farming techniques; they help a family transform a small plot of land into a source of income and security. Through Field Schools and hands-on guidance, we're helping farmers improve their harvests, feed their families, and sell their products to their neighbors, strengthening their local economy. 
- *Building a Path to Success:* We believe that education is the key to unlocking potential. Our scholarship program provides a lifeline for students from low-income families, ensuring they have the chance to complete their education and become future leaders in their communities. 
- *Empowering Dreams, One Step at a Time:* Our Financial Education program is about more than just numbers—it's about confidence. We empower rural families to manage their money, start their own savings and credit groups, and invest in their ideas, turning small dreams into successful family enterprises. 
- *Securing the Most Precious Resource:* In a land where water is scarce, our water projects are a game-changer. By building infrastructure for collection and storage, we are securing a critical resource for agriculture and for daily life, giving families peace of mind and greater stability. 

*We are not just building projects; we are building dignity, stability, and hope.* 

But we can't do this without you. Your donation has the power to change a life forever. It can help a young student finish school, a farmer provide for their family, or an entire community secure their future. 

Join us in this mission. Your generosity can help build a better, stronger Oaxaca—one rooted in empowerment, not dependency.

AIR's focus is the interrelated problems of deforestation, mudslides, malnutrition, and habitat loss in rural Central America. 

The Alliance for International Reforestation's (AIR's) mission is to implement educational programs, reforestation, and regenerative farming methods in Central America in order to protect water sources, build soil health, prevent mudslides and erosion, prevent lung disease and provide more nutritious crops—while protecting the Earth. We choose Hope.

AIR utilizes a comprehensive community-led program with interrelated environmental and rural poverty components to help indigenous Maya communities and the environment. They include:  

· Reduce the impacts of climate change through reforestation using native species of trees

· Establish forested landscape linkages to improve biodiversity and movement of wildlife

· Improve food production and nutrition using organic regenerative farming techniques

· Reduce mudslides and soil erosion, and improve downstream water quality through reforestation and agricultural techniques

· Reduce firewood usage and lung disease by constructing fuel-efficient vented cook stoves

· Educate children by providing curriculum, gardens and tree nurseries for rural schools

· Establish tree nurseries that can be converted to micro-businesses

AIR developed and utilizes a community-based reforestation and regenerative farming approach to implement its projects. This approach involves farmers and community members providing the leadership, labor, and land for the AIR program; and working and learning under the direction of an AIR technician for 2-5 years. All of our technicians are indigenous Maya who speak the local dialects and know the communities they serve, facilitating close long-term relationships. Our AIR technicians initiate the projects, provide the supplies/materials, and are expert teachers and a resource, but local community members own and manage the projects.

In 2023 AIR worked in 70 communities in Guatemala and Nicaragua and our tree nurseries produced over 775,000 seedlings.

Harnessing collective intelligence to support community-led development in the highlands of Peru.

Yungas is an AASD project to protect the Amazon rainforest and drive economic growth in indigenous communities. It boosts farmers’ incomes to safeguard land rights and biodiversity in Peru’s southern rainforest, addressing challenges like low profit margins, climate change, and market volatility.

Yungas empowers farmers by expanding their share of the value chain through three key areas: agricultural advancement, commercialization, and organizational strengthening. It promotes sustainable farming and climate adaptation, diversifies products, and uses traceability tools to increase income. Farmers reinvest earnings into their organizations, gaining ownership of institutions and knowledge for a sustainable future.

The project also focuses on empowering women in the coffee supply chain and integrating climate-smart agriculture for sustainable land use. Supporting certifications like organic standards further boosts farmers’ incomes and contributes to environmental sustainability. This approach has increased farmers’ income by an average of 34% annually, helping indigenous communities stay on and protect their land.

We preserve, develop, and promote the assets comprising the Domaine national de Chambord which is on Unesco's world heritage list.

Chambord has aroused admiration and fascination to the world for over 500 years. Placed on France’s first list of historical monuments in 1840, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981, it is one of the most breathtaking construction of the Renaissance. Far from being a residential palace or a hunting lodge, Chambord embodies the values of humanism, inventiveness and human genius.

Preserving this heritage means constantly questioning how it can be made accessible to the widest possible audience. With this objective in mind, each year new developments and innovative projects are presented to visitors, a rich program of events punctuates the life of the estate, and ecological actions are implemented. The estate is also developing a strategy to diversify its own resources, notably by reviving its vocation as a food-producing farm.

Chambord’s projects are structured around four development priorities: Chambord cultural and artistic, Chambord educational and social, Chambord sustainable and agricultural, and Chambord innovative. To support us in this approach, we are looking for partners who share our values and wish to promote them.

We cultivate dynamic partnerships within the global Church to equip followers of Jesus, fueling the spread of the Gospel.

Our Mission:
Frontline Missions exists to develop and cultivate dynamic partnerships within the global Church to train and equip followers of Jesus, fueling the spread of the Gospel and empowering mature expressions of Christ-centered faith worldwide.

Website: https://www.fmusa.org/

Instead of arriving at a community with our preconceived notions, Frontline Missions seeks out the community leaders and strategizes to discover root issues and goals that will have the most impact on the community. Through creative solutions such as Bible Storying, leadership training and economic development, entire communities encounter the transformative power of the Gospel. We believe this approach honors the individuals and leaders in the community, builds lasting relationships, and sustains results over generations.

We need you.

Starting in 1997, Frontline Missions embarked on continuing campaigns to take the Gospel to unreached, unengaged people groups, UUPG, around the world.  As part of this effort, we joined forces with several partner organizations who travel with us to train Indigenous people.  These Indigenous missionaries are learning how to utilize technology to share the Gospel in communities very few can reach.

Whether you want to go on a short term mission to spread the Word, or want to cheer others on from home, we can sow into this historic ministry by providing finances for missionary travel expenses and support for their families while they're gone.

Piton Partnership is a nonprofit organization that supports the village of Piton, Haiti. Based in Blanchester, Ohio, 

**Our Mission:** Aid to Infrastructure exists to support the under-served communities around Piton, Haiti on the southern peninsula in the Petit Goâve area.

**Our Values:** 

- We strive to empower the people of Piton and Piton West to a higher quality of life through our programs and funding.
- Following the direction of local leaders, we work within the community,
stepping back so Haitians can manage Haitians,  with accountability, and
placing the focus on the people of Piton, not us.
- We aren't trying to "fix" Haiti & we're not interested in creating a small version of the U.S. in Piton.
- The work we do is a response to the mercy and grace shown to us by Christ Jesus and our Heavenly Father.

**Our Motto:** When you pray, move your feet. ~African Proverb

Armenia emergency appeal to help people fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh.

Tens of thousands of people have fled to Armenia following the resumption of fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh on Tuesday, 19 September, and the subsequent surrender of the local authorities. From the very outset of these developments, our dedicated team has been on the ground, delivering crucial humanitarian assistance. The protracted conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh has inflicted unrelenting suffering on the local population since its eruption in 1988.

"The situation is critical, with over 105 000 people in need of assistance.  There are older people and families with small children. Many have taken only the basic things with them and lack adequate clothes, food, or hygiene items. We are relying on funds from our donors to respond to the civilian population's current needs," says Varduhi Dadunts, People in Need's Country Director in Armenia. 

"We will provide people with water, food, shopping vouchers, mattresses and blankets or clothes. We will help equip accommodation centers, support children and older people, and provide other basic humanitarian assistance. We are asking the public to contribute to our Armenia emergency appeal," says Šimon Pánek, CEO of People in Need. 

"In Armenia, we have been helping people affected by the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for a long time. We have been supporting people affected by the conflict and subsequent developments, including the situation around the Lachin Corridor and current events," says Petr Drbohlav, People in Need's Regional Director for the Eastern Partnership and the Balkans.

People in Need is the largest non-governmental organization in Central and Eastern Europe, delivering development and humanitarian assistance to 25 countries across Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, MENA, and Asia. In 2022 alone, People in Need supported over 4,5 million people.   

People in Need has been working in Armenia since 2003 and is therefore well placed to provide timely and the most relevant assistance.  

*Armenia emergency appeal to help people fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh

The recent escalation of conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, preceded by the 9+ month blockade of the Lachin corridor has triggered the mass evacuation of Nagorno-Karabakh population, with at least 100,520 persons (over 80% of the region’s population) fleeing to Armenia between September 24 – 29. 2023. Already highly vulnerable after a prolonged blockade that has severe impact on their ability to access basic services (including basic food or medicine), the exiled people of Nagorno-Karabakh were   able to take with them little to no belonging.

The current situation is drastically different from before. Unlike previous displacements, this time they have no hope of ever returning to Nagorno-Karabakh. It means their needs include urgent, life-saving assistance such as emergency shelter, food, psychosocial support, health or protection, as well as mid to long-term integration support such as developing sources of income, education, etc. 

* Why your support matters?

• As of October 4, 2023, at least 100,520 persons have fled from the region towards Armenia, largely entering the country through the Lachin corridor and ending mainly in Goris/Syunik. 
• The coordination of the response is led by the Armenian government and supported by the UNHCR. Humanitarian actors are expected to coordinate their aid activities with the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, and are then being referred to municipalities for further coordination.
• The current response relies on limited humanitarian resources and it can be expected that needs will rapidly become unmet as these are exhausted.
• PIN was among the first to respond with immediate food and emergency assistance in Goris. We were also amongst the first to support the official registration center run by authorities. 

In the coming months, PIN is planning to scale up its work and provide immediate assistance with:  
(a) Shelter and non-food items; 
(b) Food security and livelihoods;
(c) Education and child protection;
(d) Mainstreaming protection.

—A 501(c)(3) Safety Net Sanctuary. Rescue, rehab, and refuge for farmed animals. Donate crypto & change lives.

At Steampunk Farms Rescue Barn, we don’t just rescue animals—we rewrite the narrative. Our mission isn’t just about saving lives; it’s about shifting public consciousness, recalibrating how society values the agency, intelligence, and emotional depth of farmed animals.

How do we do it? **Through the most powerful tool ever devised—storytelling.**

We don’t just tell stories—we engineer them. Every carefully crafted rescue arc, every underdog triumph, every absurd barnyard scandal is designed to entrap the heart, bypass the rational mind, and leave an irreversible emotional imprint. **We wield narrative like a scalpel and social engineering like a sledgehammer—blatant manipulations, but always in service of the truth.**

Because the truth is this: A pig is not just bacon. A chicken is not just an egg factory. A blind llama is not just an oddity to pity. **They are individuals with preferences, grudges, jokes, friendships, and fears—and once you see them that way, you can’t unsee it.**

This is where you come in.

Your donation doesn’t just feed animals—it fuels **a radical shift in how people perceive them.** Every dollar sustains our sanctuary **and** expands our reach, ensuring more people hear, see, and feel these stories. It keeps our rescue missions operational, our soap sales funding sustainable care, and our storytelling driving the kind of cultural shift that outlives any single campaign.

So, if you’re here to make an impact, **welcome to the most insidious, beautifully orchestrated, emotionally devastating barnyard propaganda machine you’ll ever support.**

Give. Share. Spread the stories. **Let’s manipulate the world into caring—together.**



As an **Indigenous and women-led** sanctuary, we bring a deeply rooted, multi-generational perspective to this work—one that honors **reciprocity, resilience, and responsibility**. Our approach threads **mental health awareness, justice, and science-backed narrative strategies** into every story we tell. It’s **art and activism in equal measure**—a deliberate dance of emotion and evidence designed to **reshape how society values non-human lives**. We’re not afraid to **lean into the drama, the humor, the raw humanity of it all**, because change doesn’t happen with dry facts alone. It happens when you **feel it**.

Nyanam is a restorative justice organization preparing widows to lead positive community transformation.

We are a restorative justice organization, preparing widows to be leaders of positive social transformation in their communities through integrated programs in leadership, health, livelihoods and justice. Our work alleviates widowhood poverty, mitigates the impact of HIV/AIDS, and gives widows the tools to tackle oppressive cultural, economic, and social practices that undermine widows’ dignity and limit their agency. 

Vision 
Africa where widows thrive 

Past and current activities 
Our unit of operation is the leadership circles, which are self-led widow-to-widow support groups that meet on a weekly basis. We also have youth mentorship groups that organize and meet weekly during school holidays. In the leadership circles, widows offer each other spiritual, emotional, and economic support, replacing isolation and loneliness with communities of friendship. These circles consolidate their collective voice to guide the design and implementation of Nyanam’s work. As an organization, we have five main program areas that guide how we engage with Nyanam widows and their children. We use capacity strengthening as the core approach in implementing our programs. Our holistic interventions in leadership, livelihoods, health, justice, and youth education are delivered through our unique curriculum called Voice of Change, a Nyanam’s unique and widow centric training curriculum tailored to respond to the needs and concerns of widows, and uses storytelling, deep listening, and social action as approaches for community transformation. 

Leadership: Widowhood thrusts women into household leadership in patriarchal culture where male headship is valued and expected. We affirm the leadership of widows and harness their potential for community transformation. From the leadership circles, we have trained 640 widows in our various capacities who have in turned trained 780 widows in the same knowledge and skills in their groups. Further, leadership circles conduct Bible studies for spiritual development, personal sharing for emotional support, and table banking for economic development. 

Livelihoods: Our livelihood program has two main components; economic empowerment and sustainable agriculture. We train Nyanam widows in sustainable agriculture, financial literacy, table banking and micro- business skills. We offer them seed funding for their group table banking and businesses, we provide them with vegetable seeds for planting, and new gardening resources (multistorey gardens). 

Health: Nyanam widows' health and well-being is our primary focus. In this program we train our widows in trauma healing, preventative health and counselling. Through our professional and trained counselors, we provide widows with individual and group counseling sessions which support and addresses each widows’ nuanced situation and unique set of challenges, as well as mental health workshops with specific themes at the request of the widows. Further, we have a team of trained community health volunteers that provide monthly health talk sessions in the different leadership circles as well as home visits and health referrals where needed. 

Justice: Access to, ownership and control of land is both a human right and an economic justice for widows. In this program, we raise awareness on widowhood issues and take action to address injustices related to land, housing and widows’ rights. We ensure this through community leaders education and training, conducting conflict resolution sessions among Nyanam widows and their relatives, provide direct legal support to widows who are pursuing their land and property inheritance and succession, provide housing support  by building Nyanam widows dignified houses in partnership with other stakeholders and undertake policy advocacy with different government agencies and policy makers on widows human rights. 

Youth Education: Widows’ children are particularly a population in need of support, as poverty limits the future of both the widows and their families. Guided by our 3-year youth education strategy, we provide capacity training to Nyanam widows children in comprehensive health education, technology and robotics and environmental justice. The training is multiplied in the youth mentorship groups by a group of trained Nyanam youth mentors supported by trained widow matrons. In addition, we provide need based secondary school education sponsorship to widows children to improves student access to secondary education, but also builds students’ communication skills and goal setting through the application and mentorship process. 

In the future we are planning to serve up to 10,000 widows in our region and establish a widow-led cooperative business for financial security and additional income for Nyanam widows improving their financial status and muscles. Further, we seek to expand the work to other communities through training of different partners and stakeholders in our intervention the Voice of Change as a key driver for positive community transformation in the communities of widows.
