As an alumna who benefited greatly (and continue to) from the UWC movement, it is time for alumni like me to give back and pay things forward - as much as we can. To sustain an incredible movement, we hope can be part of the multitude of solutions towards better lives and communities. 

UWC makes education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, over 80% of our students selected through UWC's national committee receive a scholarship. This support allows UWC to continue selecting students based on their potential and merit, regardless of their race, gender or financial means.

Most UWC national committees across the globe are run by volunteers. With selection activities in over 150 countries and territories, this volunteer network identifies promising young students, many of whom would never otherwise have access to a transformative UWC education.

**Why Support UWC**

UWC is committed to making its life-changing education accessible to students from all backgrounds. Scholarships ensure that financial circumstances never prevent talented students from attending.

Your support helps sustain UWC’s mission to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. Donations from alumni, individuals, foundations, companies, and governments make it possible for UWC to continue this work.

*"A UWC scholarship is a great investment in society. We are developing a global community of leaders who are aware of the world’s needs, steeped in the nuances and dynamics of international and intercultural cooperation and equipped with the mindset, skills, sense of agency and the global network to make a tangible difference in the world."* - **Faith Abiodun, Executive Director of UWC International**

We support St. Nicholas Preparatory School in Ghana, which provides education and welfare benefits to underprivileged children.

St Nicholas Foundation is a UK registered charity set up in 2015 to fund and oversee the running of St Nicholas Preparatory School in Ghana.  St Nicholas School was established in 2012 in Tema New Town, a sprawling slum located in Ghana's main port.   The main aim of the school is to provide education and support to local underprivileged children and their families.  The inspiration for the school came from the school's founder, Deborah Eleazar, who identified the need for a school whilst on business trips to Ghana.   With her awareness of the endemic poverty in the area and the lack of educational facilities, Deborah raised money to buy land and create a building to house the first intake of pupils.  Since then, a new class has been added each year in order to offer the full curriculum for the Ghanaian Primary Certificate of Education.  The school has now reached it's maximum capacity of 180 pupils and with support from a local corporate donor (Metka) the site has expanded to include dedicated learning facilities incorporating classrooms, a computer lab and a library.  There is also a fully equipped kitchen and dining room.

Pediatric malnutrition treatment – reimagined for scale.

Taimaka has reimagined pediatric malnutrition treatment to make it **more cost-effective and scalable**. We’ve developed a malnutrition treatment model that is:

1. 53% cheaper than legacy approaches and:
2. Leverages digitally-enabled community health workers (CHWs) to deliver care to the most vulnerable communities. 

So far, we’ve used our model to treat 6,000+ children out of existing government hospitals in northeastern Nigeria with world-class recovery rates of 95%+. Our track record has led charity evaluators like [Founder’s Pledge](https://www.founderspledge.com/funds/global-health-and-development-fund) to identify us as one of the most cost-effective nonprofits in global health, with a [cost-per-life saved of $1,644](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16czhbk2xjA1EkhQxebnTV_49cwVC9XYFE23Jal2Yhu4/edit#gid=0). Over the next five years, we’re on track to expand our program to treat tens of thousands of children, while helping governments revamp their outdated programs so that they can double the number of children they reach.

We plant the seeds of freedom by cultivating students' creativity and harvesting mutual empathy for a peaceful, prosperous future.

[**Rai·son d'ê·tre**](https://icaf.org/about/why-icaf)

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit with EIN 52-2032649, ICAF has served American children since 1997 as their national arts organization. ICAF seeds their imagination, cultivates creativity, and grows mutual empathy among them (for “a more perfect union”) and with their peers worldwide (for a peaceful future).

Creativity is now more crucial than ever before as a career skill, while empathy is considered humanity's survival skill. 

What young people contribute or create in their lives depends on their self-identity. The development of a holistic student identity underlies ICAF’s theory of change.

Through its free school art program, ICAF promotes the Artist-Athlete Ideal, which embodies a creative mind and a healthy body (*mente sana in corpore sano*). This holistic identity awakens a student's dormant “inner artist” or the slumbering “inner athlete,” helping mitigate obesity risks and creativity slumps.

At its World Children's Festival, ICAF's methodology infuses creativity with empathy, motivating students to become "creative empaths" who can work together to shape a brighter future.

[**Research & Publications**](https://icaf.org/resources/publications)
ICAF’s seminal research has been published in several leading journals, including [The Lancet](https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140673606699157.pdf) and [Dynamische Psychiatrie](https://icaf.org/resource/pdfs/CreativeEmpaths.pdf). Since 1998, ICAF has published the ad-free quarterly, the ChildArt magazine. Please preview the [AI & Art ](https://www.icaf.org/AI&Art/)magazine and the [Human Security ](https://icaf.org/resource/flipbooks/HumanSecurity/)magazine.

[**The Arts Olympiad**](https://icaf.org/mission/arts-olympiad.)
ICAF’s Arts Olympiad has evolved over the years into the world’s largest school art program. Its structured lesson plans culminate in art contests on the theme "My Favorite Sport." ICAF selects the most exceptional artworks and invites the young Artists-Athletes as delegates to the World Children’s Festival. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee has granted ICAF an exclusive license to utilize the "Arts Olympiad" mark.

The 7th Arts Olympiad, currently taking place in the United States and nearly fifty countries, is projected to benefit more than half a million students worldwide. For more information about the program in select countries, please click [here](https://icaf.org/resource/pdfs/Arts-Olympiad-Stories-Texas.pdf).

[**World Children’s Festival**](https://WorldChildrensFestival.org)
The World Children’s Festival (WCF) offers a transformative experience, infusing creativity with empathy to give them hope. While learning is a biological process that creates new neural connections, developing empathy necessitates unlearning ingrained biases and prejudices to activate the “mirror neurons” that underpin empathetic responses. As empathy flourishes, divisions diminish, polarization lessens, consensus emerges, nations come together, and the world becomes more peaceful. The educational programming for this three-day public celebration of children's talents is rooted in STEAMS education, an innovative approach developed by ICAF that integrates Arts and Sports into the STEM disciplines. For an overview of the WCF, please click [here](https://www.icaf.org/resource/flipbooks/Creativity,DiversityandUnity/).

The 7th World Children’s Festival, held at the National Mall from June 30 to July 2, 2026, will also serve as the children's celebration of America's 250th birthday. 

**Other Art Programs**
ICAF occasionally organizes [Peace through Art Programs](https://icaf.org/mission/peace-through-art) to restore the trust in humanity of children in conflict zones and [Healing Art Programs](https://icaf.org/mission/healing-arts-program) to revive faith in nature of child victims of natural disasters. ICAF also pays attention to [climate change](https://icaf.org/mission/climate-change) because of its impact on children’s lives.

**Sport Art Exhibitions**
As the largest children’s art organization, ICAF curates exhibitions worldwide to bring its unprecedented collection to significant venues and museums. ICAF exhibitions embolden children and kindle the inner child in professionals. Please watch this [3:22-minute clip](https://youtu.be/0Cv7qHQM7fM?si=XFAHo8MZDs2Sj7e_).

**Art & Sports Online Contests**
To engage children worldwide in the LA28 Olympics, ICAF has launched an online art contest for students aged 8 to 20. This inclusive platform allows participants to create artwork about their favorite sport, share it with family and friends, and receive votes from any sports fan or art lover, contributing to the selection of the winners. https://MyFavoriteSport.org. 

[**Partnerships**](https://icaf.org/about/partnership)
ICAF has worked with the United Nations, the National Institutes of Health, the International Society for Education through Art, the World Bank, and the World Health Organization. 

ICAF’s sponsors have included corporations and grant makers such as the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and several private philanthropies.

Cambodian non-profit arts school supporting youth through artistic & educational programs

Phare Ponleu Selpak is a Cambodian non-profit arts school located in Battambang, offering support to children, youth and the surrounding communities through artistic, educational and social support programmes.

Phare Phare Ponleu Selpak was founded more than a quarter of a century ago, by nine Cambodians, who grew up in a refugee camp after surviving the genocide of the Khmer Rouge, and their French arts teacher. Resilience and hope has been in Phare’s DNA from the very beginning, and from a simple arts school it blossomed into the multi-faceted creative hub it is today.

Phare educates and trains thousands of children and youth who come from challenging backgrounds. Most receive a mainstream education which helps them thrive as adults, but others become artists, performers and musicians who keep Cambodia’s creative culture alive after its almost total destruction by the Khmer Rouge. We offer them social support, education and arts programs so they can build their future and support their families through creative careers.

We envision a world where every child can fulfil their unique potential.

The Learning for Well-being Foundation is a private operating foundation registered in the Netherlands as a non-profit organization. Our team and associates are dispersed across Europe, the Middle East and Latin America. Our board comprises adults and children with different talents who wish to contribute to the organization's purpose.

At the heart of the Learning for Well-being Foundation, we bring to life initiatives that reflect our vision: a world where every child can fulfil their unique potential. To us, well-being means realizing one's unique potential through physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual development in relation to self, others, and the environment. Our definition of well-being acknowledges the complexity of the world within and around each person.

We aim to make significant strides in two key areas: School Reform and Holistic Well-being, embedding Intergenerational Collaboration to achieve these goals. We strive to maximize opportunities for children to fulfil their unique potential by advocating for school and education system reforms. Recognizing that every child learns differently, we emphasize human-centred design in teaching, incorporating core capacities and creating safe, stimulating environments. By valuing learners' inner diversity and fostering their expression through intergenerational partnerships, we enhance traditional learning models with essential human relationships.

Our holistic approach integrates children's well-being and positive mental health at all levels of the living system. We highlight the importance of connectedness with self, others, and the environment for achieving well-being. Each child's mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual development is a right, and achieving holistic well-being is critical to their health and fulfilling their unique potential. We aim to include meaningful participation of children through intergenerational partnerships in all of our activities, supporting their active agency in matters that matter to them. Understanding children's perspectives and the capacities of those working directly with them is crucial for actions in their best interests.

Your support can make a positive change in the world. Donating to the Learning for Well-being Foundation, you help us continue our vital work in promoting school reform and holistic well-being for children. Together, we can create a world where every child has the opportunity to realize their unique potential. Join us in making a difference!

News Decoder help youth cut through the noise & make sense of the world. We turn information overload into informed citizenship. 


**Celebrate a Decade. Empower a Generation.**

Today’s world is more interconnected and complex than ever, yet it’s also more divided and polarized. Extremist views, culture wars, political populism and attacks on democracy are growing and ideological divides are making it harder to tackle global challenges like the climate crisis.

When News Decoder began in 2015, our founding belief was that young people could transcend the role of passive information consumers to become powerful knowledge producers and agents of change ready to meet these challenges. 

Over the past decade, we have demonstrated not only that this vision is possible but how it can be achieved. Our combination of journalism skills training and cross-border virtual exchange empowers young people to be informed, engaged citizens capable of reporting on their local communities and sharing their perspectives on a global stage.

Now, News Decoder is [celebrating its 10th birthday](https://news-decoder.com/heres-to-10-years-and-many-more/) in 2025. 

**Give €10/month to mark 10 years of impact**.

Your gift powers programs and publishing that inform, connect and empower the next generation of global citizens, in all corners of the world.
