Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA), a congressionally chartered veterans service organization founded in 1946, has developed a unique expertise on a wide variety of issues involving the special needs of our members veterans of the armed forces who have experienced spinal cord injury or dysfunction. PVA will use that expertise to be the leading advocate for: - Quality health care for our members - Research and education addressing spinal cord injury and dysfunction - Benefits available as a result of our members military service - Civil rights and opportunities which maximize the independence of our members and all people with disabilities. For more than 60 years, PVA has fought for our veterans who answered the call when our nation asked for their service . . . and in return, they have given up their freedoms to protect ours.
“Maanavseva" (Service to Humans) is a Registered Non-Profit with a mission to fight malignancies including breast cancer among rural women in Indian villages. The mission is achieved through activities such as educating, creating awareness, conducting preventive examinations and mammogram screenings and facilitating the hand-holding of rural women with necessary follow-up and treatment.Maanavseva intends to implement this mission by adopting one village at a time and conducting 100% screening of all village women as per the health guidelines and implement follow-up on a sustained basis. The short term focus is to create a successful process for a cluster of villages that is replicable and sustainable. Maanavseva will achieve this goal through conducting pilot studies in villages, identify, resolve and document the challenges involved and arrive at a workable and sustainable model. The long term focus is to expand the model to several clusters of villages through sponsorship of corporations, local bodies and other Governmental Schemes. Most prevalent cancers for rural women can be cured by early detection and appropriate treatment. If these cancers are detected early, the cost is less, treatment is less invasive, survival rates are higher and the quality of life is better. Therefore we believe that by creating awareness about these cancers and early detection through mammogram and other screenings is extremely important and is the only way to win the war on breast cancer.
HealthRight International builds lasting access to health for excluded communities, employing a human rights-based approach and working closely with community partners to improve local capacity and advance the inclusivity of health systems.
On Guard for Humanity was formed out of recognition that when major natural and man-made disasters occur, much needed help arrives too late and tends to be disproportionate to local needs at the time of delivery (wrong materiel, wrong time, and wrong place). We believe that local community–based prevention and disaster mitigation programs are less costly and more effective. On Guard for Humanity seeks to train and equip these communities to protect themselves from natural and man-made disasters, through the creation of local disaster mitigation and response centers. On Guard for Humanity underwrites the capital and operating costs of these centers, rather than providing financial aid directly to communities to spend as they see fit. In this way On Guard for Humanity insures that its objectives, and those of the donors who support On Guard for Humanity are met.

Habitat for Humanity Regina builds homes in parthership with low-income, working families. We provide capital, not charity, which is provided to families through long-term, interest-free mortgages. Habitat partner families contribute 500 hours of their time toward construction and other projects. Families earn long-term equity through our program and become tax-paying, contributing citizens of the community. Mortgage payments help finance construction of more Habitat homes through the revolving build fund. The Habitat for Humanity ReStore operates to pay 100% of the adminsitrative costs of Habitat Regina, allowing 100% of donated funds to be directed to building homes for deserving families.
