The Transformative Justice Center provides services to the incarcerated and formerly incarcerated. 

Our mission is to advocate for transformative justice, emphasizing empathy and understanding as we work with those who have been incarcerated. We aim to break down the barriers of social stigma, creating a platform for personal growth and change. At the Transformative Justice Center, and our flagship prison program - Empathy in Action, we see past the person’s history and focus on their potential. By providing crucial support and resources, we aspire to drastically reduce recidivism and help individuals reclaim their lives. At its core, transformative justice works to transform relationships, institutions and systems historically founded in oppression, marginalization, and violence into ones grounded in restoration, respect, and responsibility.

We believe that everyone deserves a chance to be seen, heard, and understood regardless of background, race, class, socio-economic status, political or/and religious views. We know that most if not all people in prison come from painful, traumatic backgrounds, from victims to victimizers. We work to transform prison spaces into places focused on higher education, healing, whole body wellness, accountability and respect. We see that within every human being there exists the possibility to grow, to change, and to transform with the right tools and interventions. We are committed to building bridges being the public and our incarcerated community in order to learn, understand and humanize those most impacted by familial and societal harms.

At the core of our work, we believe in redemption, and that everyone deserves an opportunity to transform their lives. Our center is built on empathy and understanding, providing crucial resources and support to individuals who are navigating their way back to society after incarceration. We appreciate any form of support, small or large, to assist us on this journey towards healing, change, and rebuilding lives.

We develop community-led, circular solutions to end plastic pollution in remote coastal areas, grounded in local heritage.

We are an East African circular economy movement that in 2018 built the world’s first 100% recycled plastic sailing dhow.  Built from 10 tonnes of beach plastic, it was covered in 30,000 pieces of discarded flipflops collected from Kenyas beaches, hence its name 'The Flipflopi'. 

We employ a “full-systems” approach to beating plastic pollution through 

(1) education and awareness campaigns, 

(2) waste-plastic innovation rooted in heritage, and 

(3) influencing legislative change to ban single-use plastics. 

Over the course of three expeditions, the Flipflopi sailing boat has proved to be an exceptional campaign tool to catalyse engagement and action all three of the above focus areas. Watch our latest video, "[Stubborn Optimism - A Plastic Revolution" 
](https://youtu.be/RjVd7RR\_vPs?si=5XrC37OrODfvgnZJ)The 2019 Lamu to Zanzibar expedition, conducted in partnership with UN Environment, brought international media attention - 890 million people saw our message, we hosted the presidents and government ministers on the boat, and played a central role in national plastic bag bans that came into effect in both Kenya and Tanzania shortly after our campaign.

In 2020 Flipflopi Co-founder was awarded Kenya’s highest civilian honour for his contribution to preserving Kenya's Swahili culture and his environmental campaigning.  

In 2022, Flipflopi was awarded the FCDO’s prestigious SMEP Grant to tackle marine ecosystem health challenges which led to the creation of an innovative community-centered programme that is ‘closing the loop’ on waste plastic in the Lamu Archipelago (on the coast of northern Kenya) by combining indigenous knowledge of boatbuilding with modern innovation.  In a 24 month perirod we have collected 288 tonnes of plastic from the enviroment within the Lamu region. 

In 2022 we set up a Heritage Boat Building centre that runs pioneering classes teaching Dhow building and traditional craftsmanship to mixed gender classes of young people from Lamu County.  Students on these 12 week courses have built everything from ornately carved traditional Lamu chairs to Swahili Dhows – all from recycled plastic lumber instead of wood.  

In 2023, The Flipflopi team met UK Monarch King Charles whilst on a visit to Kenya, presenting him with an elegant traditional Swahili throne made entirely from recycled beach plastic.  It made headlines around the world. 

To date Flipflopi activity has principally taken place within Kenya, and to a lesser extent, in neighbouring countries Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.  In 2025 we are turning our attention to globally scaling the many valuable lessons we have learned about how to create a circular economy for plastic waste.

In 2025 we begin our most ambitious campaign yet – first we will construct a 120 tonne, 24 metre long traditional Lamu Dhow (again, built entirely from recycled plastic) and then we embark on a global expedition that will convene the action we need globally to see a WORLD WITHOUT SINGLE USE PLASTIC.

Providing a Safe Haven, Free Shelter to Abandon Visually Impaired Girls in Delhi, India

Empowering visually impaired girls was one of the prime objectives behind establishing the Blind Welfare Society as there is a dearth of organizations working for the betterment of visually impaired girls in India. We affirm that visually impaired young girls and women are more vulnerable and thus need extra support. It is our endeavor to create an environment where the lack of money or opportunities does not make blind girl’s situation worse.

Blind welfare society strongly resents any action which could show the visually impaired people as disabled. Blindness is just the physical loss of eyesight, nothing more. Blind people are like everyone else, and can be expected to perform on a par. BWS has a crucial role to play in creating a world where there are no barriers to people with sight loss. We strive to increase the independence, access to education, equal opportunity, social security and quality of life for people with vision loss.

We have continued to expand our programs and services to meet the needs of the community we serve.

Blind Welfare Society is a registered non-government voluntary Organization.

Promotes collaboration between French and American researchers to preserve and study Rosa Bonheur’s works.

Historical Background of the Organization

Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur, was founded following the purchase of the Château de Rosa Bonheur, also known as the Château de By, by the Brault family in 2017. The château, located in Thomery, France, served as Bonheur’s residence for the last 40 years of her life, and its acquisition marked the beginning of a new era in the preservation of the artist’s heritage. Upon acquiring the property, the Brault family discovered thousands of archival documents in the château’s attic, many of which had been untouched for over a century. These documents included personal letters, sketches, financial records, and other invaluable materials that shed light on Bonheur’s life, work, and influence.

Recognizing the importance of these discoveries, the Brault family and the organization sought to create an environment where scholars, particularly from the United States, could engage in rigorous research on these newly unearthed documents. The historical link between Rosa Bonheur and the United States, where many of her works are held in private collections or sold through auction houses, further motivated the establishment of the AFCRB. The organization’s founders recognized the need to bridge the gap between French and American art scholarship, encouraging transatlantic collaboration to ensure a comprehensive understanding of Bonheur’s artistic contributions.

Mission and Objectives

The core mission of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur is to preserve and promote the artistic legacy of Rosa Bonheur. As an organization, it seeks to raise awareness of Bonheur’s work, ensure her rightful place in art history, and foster greater public understanding of her contributions to the development of animal painting, realism, and the broader art community.

To achieve these goals, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur focuses on four key objectives:

1. Restoration: The organization is committed to restoring both Rosa Bonheur’s works and her former home, the Château de Rosa Bonheur, as her workshop, her study room and what makes up its museum. This involves the meticulous conservation of her paintings, drawings, and sculptures, as well as the preservation of the château itself, which stands as a testament to her life and creative process. Restoration efforts ensure that future generations can experience Bonheur’s work in its original context and condition.

2. Acquisition: One of the central aims of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur is to acquire as many of Bonheur’s works as possible, particularly those that have been sold by private collectors. Many of her pieces, including lesser-known works and studies, have appeared on the American art market in recent years. By acquiring these works, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur ensures they are properly authenticated, studied, and ultimately made available to the public. This also helps enrich the archives at the Château de Rosa Bonheur, creating a comprehensive collection that can support future exhibitions and research.

3. Research: Research is a fundamental aspect of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s mission. By hosting American research students and scholars at the château, the organization creates an environment conducive to academic exchange and the development of new perspectives on Bonheur’s work. The archival documents discovered in the château’s attic provide a wealth of material for scholars to explore, and the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur aims to facilitate and support this research by offering access to the château’s collections and resources. Additionally, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur supports efforts to compile a complete catalogue raisonné of Bonheur’s works, a critical tool for scholars, curators, and collectors from all over the world. 

4. Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation, in the context of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s mission, refers to the broader restoration and revitalization of Bonheur’s legacy. This involves not only physical restoration but also the intellectual and cultural rehabilitation of her place in art history. By promoting Bonheur’s work through conferences, exhibitions, scientific publications and public programs, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur seeks to ensure that her contributions are fully recognized and appreciated by contemporary audiences.

Past and Present Activities

Since its establishment, Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur, has been actively involved in a variety of projects aimed at fulfilling its mission. The organization has supported numerous research initiatives, allowing scholars to delve into the newly discovered archival materials at the château with the help of the French Heritage society. These documents have provided fresh insights into Bonheur’s life, including her relationships with contemporaries, her financial dealings, and her artistic process. This research has been instrumental in shaping the current understanding of Bonheur’s work and influence.

In addition to research, Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur has organized several exhibitions showcasing Bonheur’s work. These exhibitions have traveled between France and the United States, further strengthening the cultural ties between the two countries and introducing new audiences to Bonheur’s art. The organization has also been involved in organizing conferences and masterclasses, bringing together art historians, curators, and students to discuss Bonheur’s legacy and explore new avenues of research.

Restoration efforts have been another key focus of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s activities. The organization has overseen the restoration of several of Bonheur’s paintings, as well as the ongoing preservation of the Château de Rosa Bonheur. These efforts ensure that both the artist’s works and her living environment are preserved for future generations to study and appreciate.

Future Activities and Vision

Looking ahead, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur has ambitious plans to continue expanding its activities and reach. One of the organization’s primary goals is to complete the catalogue raisonné of Rosa Bonheur’s works, which will serve as a definitive reference for scholars and collectors alike. This project will require extensive research, as well as the acquisition and authentication of additional works by Bonheur.

The Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur also plans to expand its educational programming, with a particular focus on engaging younger audiences. This includes developing workshops and masterclasses for art students, as well as creating digital resources that make Bonheur’s work and legacy accessible to a global audience. The organization aims to leverage technology to create virtual exhibitions and online archives, allowing people from around the world to explore Bonheur’s art and the château’s collections.

Another important aspect of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s future activities is the continued restoration of the Château de Rosa Bonheur. The organization is committed to preserving this historic site as a living museum, where visitors can experience the environment in which Bonheur lived and worked. In addition to physical restoration, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur plans to expand the château’s public programming, offering educational workshops, and artist residencies.

Finally, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur will continue to promote transatlantic collaboration by hosting American scholars and artists at the château. This exchange of ideas will help foster a deeper understanding of Bonheur’s work and contribute to the ongoing study of her artistic legacy. The organization also plans to strengthen its partnerships with museums, universities, and cultural institutions in both France and the United States, creating new opportunities for collaboration and engagement.

Establishment of “American Friends of the Château de Rosa Bonheur (AFCRB)”

The American Friends of the Château de Rosa Bonheur (AFCRB) is a vital organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and expanding the legacy of the 19th-century artist Rosa Bonheur. Since its inception, the AFCRB has focused on fostering collaboration between American and French researchers to deepen the understanding of Bonheur’s work and ensure its continued appreciation on both sides of the Atlantic. The organization’s mission centers around four primary pillars: restoration, acquisition, research, and rehabilitation, all of which contribute to the broader goal of safeguarding the legacy of one of the most influential female artists of her time.

Conclusion

The American Friends of the Château de Rosa Bonheur plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the legacy of Rosa Bonheur. Through its focus on restoration, acquisition, research, and rehabilitation, the organization is ensuring that Bonheur’s contributions to the art world are recognized and appreciated by future generations. As the AFCRB continues to expand its activities, it remains committed to fostering transatlantic collaboration and ensuring that Bonheur’s work is accessible to a global audience. By supporting research, exhibitions, and educational programs, the AFCRB is helping to secure Rosa Bonheur’s place in art history and ensure that her legacy endures for centuries to come.

We connect Black students and entrepreneurs to global Black excellence. We repair the exclusion created by lack of access.


The Diaspora Salon is an initiative of Association Collectif Eclats de Lune which organizes cross-cultural events . This specific program is an annual convening of scholars, artists, cultural practitioners, financiers, technologists, and community builders from across Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Americas. It is designed as an intentional intervention: a space where students and entrepreneurs experience, often for the first time, what it means to belong to excellence—and to be seen, valued, and welcomed into it. 

Beyond inspiration the participants gain durable access to a global network that invests in their potential, mentors their ambitions, and walks alongside them over time. This is social capital made visible, transferable, and enduring. Most Black students and entrepreneurs remain structurally excluded from these global networks. Few have the opportunity to travel. Fewer still have direct relationships with Black leaders operating at the highest levels across sectors and geographies.

Philanthropic support for the Diaspora Salon directly addresses this gap. It ensures that proximity to excellence is not an accident of privilege, but a deliberate act of investment—one that creates lifelong networks, expands global possibility, and helps a new generation imagine, and access, futures previously out of reach.

Our past initiatives have shown that access to global networks and excellence creates permanent, life-changing impact.    

Our annual gathering unfolds in Marrakech, beginning on the final day of the Contemporary African Art Fair 1:54 — a moment when the city hums with creativity and the spirit of Black cultural imagination. The sponsored participants for most have never travelled. They are then immersed in a world where brilliance travels freely across continents, and art collectors from around the globe arrive to celebrate Black excellence in contemporary art.

For many who may not often step inside museums, it becomes a revelation — a doorway into the vast and powerful presence of Black artists shaping the global stage. Creativity is not simply seen. It is felt, shared, and honored as part of a living, breathing heritage. 

After discovering the international power of Black visual artists, participants are then immersed in four days of luminous conversations with leaders who look like them — voices of brilliance, achievement, and imagination. In their presence, possibility widens. Dreams feel nearer. And students begin to see that they, too, can aspire — and belong — at the very center of excellence.

As someone who understands the power of being in the right place at the right time, we invite you to give that opportunity to others. 

We invite you to support this singular initiative, building lasting pathways to success and changing lives for generations.

We aim to advance the mental wellbeing of our South Asian community.

In 2021, during their freshman year of college, our founders Ravi Parekh and Aaron Pandian suffered the loss of their close friend and roommate, Farhan, in a tragic murder-suicide where he took the lives of himself and his family. 

Farhan was struggling with a variety of inadequately treated mental illnesses. However, like so many members of the South Asian-American community, his parents simply lacked the tools, resources, and education necessary for providing him the care he needed.

They recognized that, as an immigrant South Asian family, they lacked the tools, resources, and education necessary for providing Farhan the care he needed. The tragedy of Farhan and his family revealed that there are many mental health issues unique to the cultural characteristics of South Asians. Understanding that these environmental factors and structural barriers to effective care created the situation which led to this tragedy, we theorized a youth-led grass-roots advocacy and education initiative that equips South Asian youth and other interested parties with access to tools and resources to understand, process, and empower.

Grass-roots efforts are often inspired by lived experiences. Our passion and drive to bridge the gaps in mental health care for South Asian individuals stem from our lived experiences.

Knowledge is empowering, and part of understanding mental health is to both learn and express empathy for those affected who are unable to receive effective care. To learn not to fear mental illness as a sibling, parent, friend, significant other, or affected individual and employ newly acquired tools that work to connect with the resources they need. 

MHISA embodies these ideals and provides us an outlet to engage those around us with a shared goal: to enable South Asians struggling with mental illness to lead better and healthful lives.

Transforming lives through education, inspiration and opportunity,

Founded by will.i.am in 2009, the i.am Angel Foundation supports students living below the poverty line in his hometown neighborhood of Boyle Heights/East Los Angeles and beyond, to provide access to after-school tutoring through our i.am College Track program and STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) through First Robotics clubs. 

“Every school has a basketball court and many have football fields, but only two businesses benefit from these skill sets, and it’s mostly for boys. Football is great, but my niece will never play for the NFL. With robotics clubs, boys and girls can learn valuable STEM skills and how to work in teams, knowledge that helps secure college scholarships and eventually, high-paying jobs. With FIRST Robotics, every child can be a winner in school, work and in life. My mission is to put a robotics club in every public school,
and we are off to a great start with this new program in Los Angeles." - will.i.am (our founder)

We are committed to empowering people through education, community development, social and economic support. 

Araceli Aid Foundation is a non-profit organization that was founded officially on 14th December 2022, but has been working tirelessly and anonymously over the past 13 years to provide educational opportunities to the less privileged, establish and support schools, and improve the living conditions of indigent and destitute individuals in our society .

Our mission is to empower people through education, community development, and social and economic support. We believe that education is the key to unlocking the potential of every individual and creating a better future for all.

Our history dates back to 2009, when our founder, Reverend Father Iroha Christian Nnaemeka, started a small initiative to help children from poor families access quality education. He was joined by other passionate individuals who shared his vision and values, such as Mrs Eze Gertrude Ezinne, Barrister Obiekwe Michael Stanley, Revered Father Ozochikelu Cornelius, Reverend Father Aniebonam Paul, Mrs Omelebere Ezenwanne, and Dr. Chikwendu Chimezie Emmanuel . Together, they formed the Board of Incorporated Trustees of Araceli Aid Foundation and registered it as a legal entity in December 2022.

Since then, we have expanded our scope and impact to cover five main objectives: Education and school support, social Support, economic empowerment, community development, and humanitarian aid.

Some of our past and current activities include:

- Providing teacher training, classroom resources, school supplies, equipping of laboratories and tech facilities, and more to improve the quality of education in existing schools.
- Providing vocational training, job placement services, and grants to help people build better lives for themselves and their families.
- Working with communities to identify and address their most pressing needs, whether it is access to clean water, healthcare, or other essential services.
- Awarding scholarships to deserving students who demonstrate academic excellence and leadership potential.
- Providing food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and psychosocial support to victims of conflicts, or other emergencies.
