KODA is a community united with the mission to realize an innovative educational approach in rural schools, which starts with the child and expands to the whole community, thereby supporting rural development. There is an educational inequality between various regions of Turkey such that necessary actions should be taken to provide children with more equitable opportunities, regardless of their whereabouts. Accordingly, KODA's approach to rural education not only focuses on challenges to overcome but also considers opportunities offered within, in keeping with their unique conditions. The organization's actions are motivated by seeing the potential that rural schools offer, which is not used as effectively as it could. For children and youth in rural areas, KODA aims to: 1) Provide access to content and tools that respond to their developmental needs, 2) Enable support primarily by their teachers and families, and also by various youth and adults both inside and outside of their rural community, 3) Transform the perspective of the general public and especially that of rural school teachers, people in (relevant) public institutions and policy makers on rural education. In doing so, opportunities children and young people have in rural areas for self- realization will enhance; nonetheless, its social impact will not be limited to only children and young people: it will make possible for all to live in a more just, humanistic and sustainable world whether located in cities or rural areas.

Donations received on CanadaHelps will be committed to the Foundation's collaboration with "Maison de la Gare" of Saint Louis, Senegal. Tens of thousands of "talibé" children beg on the streets of Senegal's cities for 6 to 10 hours each day for their food and for money to give to the "teacher" who controls them. They live under unconscionable conditions, without access to running water, rudimentary hygiene or nurture, often without shelter and subject to severe abuse. Maison de la Gare works within this situation to improve the taibés' living conditions and to give them hope of becoming productive participants in Senegalese society.

Joyful Opportunity English Education is a nonprofit foundation based in Japan. Our mission is to provide quality English language education to disadvantaged children, ages 2 to 7, growing up in institutional homes. The goal is to increase their emotional intelligence and expand their opportunities when they eventually launch out into the world at age eighteen. JOEE teaches basic English with accurate pronunciation by native-level teachers to give children growing up in institutionalized care in Japan an important advantage. During the JOEE lessons, children learn in a loving and lively atmosphere with puppets, books, songs and games. They are taught the following important truths: I am important. - I am kind. - I am loved. JOEE is a foundation (Ippan Shadan Houjin) recognized by the Japanese government and created by Ruth Ingulsrud who has worked as a teacher at international schools in Japan. Ruth has a background in children's ministry, literature and theater, and holds a Masters of Education, a Clear Credential in Teaching and a Bachelors in Theater Arts. She uses her skills as an educator and puppeteer to bring English instruction to children in orphanages and institutionalized care in a way that actively engages all of the senses. Children are taught basic English words with games that creatively teach proper English pronunciation. Her lessons are packed with songs, action, stories and puppet play enticing children to eagerly embrace the joy of learning a new language. JOEE is currently training new JOEE teachers and we are providing lessons in five care homes in Tokyo, Kobe and Nagoya. The ultimate goal of JOEE is to give disadvantaged children the advantage of learning from a native-level English instructor so that when they exit the care system at age eighteen, they will have basic English language knowledge and good pronunciation skills. This will be a help for them when seeking employment both locally and globally. Besides teaching language skills, the program provides the children with a joyful opportunity to simply have fun with supportive and caring adults. JOEE often works alongside YouMeWeNPO to help these youth launch successfully.

Children's success at school should not be limited by their socio-economic background. We want all children to be able to choose their own future and we believe in a world where everyone, regardless of background, has access to an equal school. If we give all children equal opportunities to succeed in the classroom, we can build a strong democratic society in the future, where diversity, knowledge and creativity, characterised by strong leadership, drive Sweden forward. Through good leadership in the classroom, and with the conviction that all children are capable, we work for an equal school. This requires teachers who lead, and who help students reach their full potential.

Founded in 1910, the purpose of the Sufi Movement is to work towards unity, [the ideal of Universal Sufism and the Religion of the Heart]. Its main object is to bring humanity, divided as it is into so many different sections, closer together in the deeper understanding of life. It is a preparation for a world service, chiefly in three ways. One way is the philosophical understanding of life; another is bringing about brotherhood/sisterhood among races, nations, and creeds; and the third way is the meeting of the world's greatest need, which is the religion of the day. Its work is to bring to the world that natural religion which has always been the religion of humanity: to respect one another's belief, scripture, and teacher.
