Life Remodeled works with communities and organizations to create neighborhood revitalization that lasts. 

Our unique model repurposes vacant properties into one-stop hubs of opportunity where families can thrive. We fill these hubs with the best and brightest nonprofit organizations and facilitate collaboration to create far greater life transformation together than was previously possible alone. Together, we ensure three things:﻿﻿

1. Detroit students perform at or above grade level in math and reading
2. Families have access to essential health and wellness services
3. Community members obtain higher paying jobs and achieve economic self-sufficiency

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.

Zaman International - Hope for Humanity

Our mission is to help families in need of financial and business literacy to improve their chances to access home ownership.

In Fall of 2019, we provided home retention services for an elderly lady in Florida. She was facing a home foreclosure due to a previous loan modification that fell through with her previous lender. The board of directors is all business owners. We donated financial resources and labor to hire contractors to repair the home to restore the use of her bathroom toilet and bathtub. In addition, we hired an attorney to help negotiate the terms for a new loan modification so she can stay in her home. We also provided her with credit repair services and business development services.

In 2020, during and throughout the overlay of the pandemic we were able to successfully assist 47 people to become new homeowners. We facilitated this by providing free credit repair services, financial literacy, business development services, and money management strategies. This process was facilitated by partnering with realtors, mortgage lenders, lawyers, investment property lenders, tax professionals, and business consultants to help these clients step by step.

In 2021, we currently have 21 active clients. We are providing these same services, to assist them in new homeownership. Fresh Community Development Inc is working towards becoming a HUD Approved agency so we can further our mission of increasing homeownership in Florida. Our board of directors of community professionals is working together to provide resources to increase clients’ access to affordable housing and homeownership.  Our non-profit organization has expanded and currently operating in Michigan, Georgia, and Florida. 

This fall we created a homeownership program called Homeownership Depot. This program currently has 8 couples and 19 individuals going through our program to become home owners. Our 2022 goal is to reach 500 people to become homeowners.  We are currently working with attorneys and lenders to provide foreclosure prevention programming. As you know, these professional services are needed by people who may not be in a position to afford their services. Our contacts have agreed to provide these services at a fraction of the cost to clients that are  living check to check. If they can give us a deep discount on their end, we know that we can count on your to support by giving to this program. Your donation will support the fees for educational materials for participants, legal fees to resolve foreclosure, and down payment assistance to new homeowners.

The MANY is a fully volunteer-run organization dedicated to helping our most marginalized community members.

WHO ARE WE?
We are a collective of community organizers structured as a worker self-directed 501(c)3 nonprofit.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?
Creating survival programs for our most marginalized community members while building alternative systems to move our community towards economic cooperation, self-determination and abundance.

HOW ARE WE DOING IT?
Our methodology is one of mutual aid and solidarity – meaning we are working and struggling with our neighbors and community instead of taking the conventional “top down” charity approach that replicates the systems of inequality and contributes to the very poverty and scarcity that we are fighting against. We aim to accomplish this by inviting the community into this work, sharing our access and privilege and building solutions together.

30 Hearts is a nonprofit organization helping orphaned and vulnerable children grow up in safe, loving families in Ethiopia.

**30 Hearts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping orphaned and vulnerable children living in poverty find safe, loving families where they belong.** We believe every child deserves the security, hope, and opportunity that comes from being part of a family. Many children in poverty lack a safety net and are at high risk of exploitation and trauma. Through our family sponsorship and support programs, we work to protect these children and empower families to provide stable, nurturing homes.

At 30 Hearts, we partner with communities and churches to identify children in need and connect them with families committed to giving them a future. Our goal is not just to meet immediate needs but to build long-term solutions that break the cycle of poverty. By providing resources, education, and encouragement, we help families grow stronger and children flourish physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

We’re driven by the conviction that children belong in families, not institutions or on the streets. Through sponsorship, advocacy, and community engagement, 30 Hearts creates a lasting impact on children’s lives, offering hope and transformation where it’s needed most. Together, we can ensure that every child has the chance to thrive in a loving home and experience the fullness of life.
