CORE VALUES Integrity Leadership Service Accountability Transparency Love Respect Unity Teamwork PROJECT SUMMARY In spite of planned development and special provision for accelerated socio-economic development of neglected/disadvantaged sections, the issue of orphan, semi orphan and street children is not properly addressed. In our project area many Orphan, Semi Orphan and Street Children are found. The problem of orphan / street children is acute due to urbanization and industrialization. Due to the Deaths of HIV/AIDS affected persons, Re-marriage of Deserted / Widowed / Divorce women, Absence of love and security in the families, Family disputes, Unwanted pregnancy of Trafficking / Sexually exploited girls; these orphan and street children are left without care and support. These children are involved in rag picking; pick pocketing and participating in anti social, criminal activities. Therefore, we envisage mainstreaming these children in the national building by providing care, support and protection in our Promise Giving Children's Family. Promise Giving Children's Family houses orphans and vulnerable children and needy families and provides care support and protection for them. This home has 10 workers among them cooks, cleaners, teachers, caretakers and administrators. All children are provided with 3 times nutritious food, clean water, books, school uniforms, clothing, beddings, sanitary pads, diapers, water, soap detergents and shoes as well as psychological and spiritual support. Every child has an opportunity for indoor and outdoor recreation and play facilities. We also support them to realize their potentials, careers and talents so as to become self-reliant and responsible members of the society. We as Promise Giving Children's Family aim to bring a service of hope to the needy and vulnerable children and families in the community. PROBLEM STATEMENT The problem of the orphaned, needy and vulnerable children is acute due to poverty levels in our communities thus most families are unable to afford basic needs for their children. There is also an increase of children who are affected and infected with HIV/AIDS while others have been orphaned as a result of the deaths of AIDS affected persons. The situation is also further aggravated by the absence of love and security and unwanted pregnancy of sexually exploited girls conflict, social injustices, gender violence etc. These children are involved in rag picking, pick pocketing, participating in anti-social, criminal activities. FUTURE MAJOR VISION We are aspiring to have our own compound where we don't pay the rent and if possible, to expand from the ordinary home to group of schools where our children will get opportunity to be at the orphanage and proceed to our junior school, senior school up to the highest level possible. The center will also ensure that all the beneficiaries who have completed school/college will have a placement, this shall include vulnerable children who have completed the vocational training hence they will be provided by the working capital inform of tools and materials to start off. CONCLUSION Children symbolizes the continuation of generation; it shows that when they are well motivated and protected our future becomes brighter. When they are nurtured in the best way the world shall be better place to live in. This is why we come with lots of humility to you to help us fulfill the idea of the project above so that we can help the children to realize their dreams in different ways. We shall appreciate your partnership and promise that no support will be wasted and every coin shall be accounted for for the benefit of the children. We need the children to be cared for at all cost no matter the background where that child comes and that is why whenever the county officer knocked the door to bring in a child into our premises, we always receive them with open heart and love.

Fundacion Nativo is a non-profit organization, located in Caracas (Venezuela), which is dedicated to the socioeconomic and sustainable development of indigenous communities, without having to damage their environment or abandon their cultural or religious beliefs. Always favoring gender equality and integration of different sexual options. Vision: A world in which there is no inequality between the indigenous population and the rest of society. Where the native population is not considered as animals, pets or the disposable object of the fashion of the moment. Mission: Empower indigenous communities by promoting the conservation of their culture, defending the right to land and the preservation of their natural resources, promoting sustainable economic development in gender equality and sexual orientation, favoring access to communication channels to leave the information isolation and giving them a voice before the institutions to demand their rights and denounce the abuses to which they are subjects of. Our history: In 2014, investigating for a documentary, we made a stop in the mining area of Las Claritas. There we went to a brothel where a bingo was being held. The place was full of miners attentive to the draw, something that surprised us because bingo always seemed an activity for older people ... Until we saw the prize ... depending on the sexual orientation of the miner, the prize was a child or Indigenous girl no older than 10 years old, who waited to meet the owner of their destination inside a hole dug in the floor of the premises. When you see something like this with your own eyes, it is impossible to remain indifferent to the problem. We realized that, in this market of basic instincts, we could do little to diminish the demand (the illegal miners come from many countries and for them the Indians are less than animals), but we could have some possibility of diminishing the offer if we helped the development of indigenous communities. And that's how the Fundacion Nativa was born.

Takalani children's home was established in May 1988 by Rev P. L. Van Langeveld together with the Reformed Church Synod Soutpansberg. The home started with only 11 children in total. Rev Van Langeveld was serving as a spiritual Pastor at Siloam Hospital (His service was to give pastoral care to the patients at Siloam Hospital). He came up with a vision of establishing a home for the abandoned, abused and orphaned children. He then approached the local Reformed churches under Synod Soutpansberg. The Synod welcomed the idea to establish a home for those children and appointed the board of directors to manage the home. The home was built near Siloam Hospital since most children were found wandering there, though children from different areas are also considered due to the need. The hospital social worker, the late Mr. Landela played a very crucial role in ensuring proper legal processes were adhered to. TCH accommodates a maximum of 80 children and currently, the home has 40 girls and 30 boys. Takalani children's home objectives: -To provide appropriate accommodation for the children who are in need of care under the age of 18 years. -To provide a healthy diet and appropriate clothing for the children in the care of TCH. -To promote healthy development by meeting medical needs and educational needs of the children in the care of TCH. - To create awareness of the needs and rights to all children in the care of TCH and to everyone associated with TCH. -To advocate, promote and support legislative and other measures designed to meet the needs and the rights of children. -To create opportunities for the children to explore their full creative and physical potential, as well as discover their talents and possible career path. -To take steps to remove conditions detrimental to the emotional and physical well-being of the children in the care of TCH.

To promote empowerment programs for better Health, Education and Livelihoods for disadvantaged populations. ................................................................................................... Here are some key areas where we seek partnership and support: 1. Education for Needy Children: We run programs that provide access to quality education for underprivileged children, ensuring they have the necessary resources and support to thrive in their academic pursuits. We provide fees, scholastic materials, uniforms and shoes to the disadvantaged children. We plan to fundraise, get fees and educational materials for needy children dropping out of school over poverty and abandonment. We plan to purchase land for the construction of a primary school for these children. 2. Women and Youth Empowerment: Our organization offers empowerment workshops, financial literacy trainings, and support services to help women and youth in marginalized communities achieve economic independence and self-sustainability. We are planning to establish a vocational training school for children who complete senior four and senior six and are unable to continue with the education over finances. We also plan to scale up our financial literacy training programs and train women in vegetable growing. 3. Environmental Conservation: We are actively involved in conservation efforts, including tree planting, waste management, and sustainable agriculture practices to preserve and protect our environment for future generations. Uganda was named the Pearl of Africa because of the beautiful scenery and climate but the forests and vegetation cover have reduced due to environmental degradation and the temperatures are now raising. We plan to establish nursery beds and plant one million trees in the eight districts of Rwenzori Western Uganda. We are doing this under our Greening Uganda Schools and communities Project. 4. Human Rights Advocacy: PLATFORM for the NEEDY advocates for the rights of vulnerable populations, including refugees, internally displaced persons, and marginalized groups, to ensure their voices are heard and respected. We plan to advance our advocacy to the deeper rural populations and refugees and take there our outreach counselling and training conferences and educate them with live drama episodes. 5. Maternal Health Initiatives: We have ongoing programs focused on improving maternal health outcomes through access to healthcare services, prenatal care, and maternal education. We intend to fundraise for the stunting children in Rwenzori region .Under this project we shall create more awareness using radio drama, social media, TVs, trainings and conferences for local leaders and health workers at all level, establish demonstration vegetable gardens at every household and every school and school debating competitions. We believe that by joining forces with Global Giving that offers visibility and connectivity to organizations with different partners and donors, we can leverage our collective strengths to create a more sustainable and equitable future for communities in Uganda and beyond. Your support will enable us to expand our reach, enhance our impact, and bring about positive change in the lives of those who need it most. We are delighted to have had the opportunity to view the video for onboarding and we hope this this partnership opportunity application will be considered. We've provide and attached more detailed information about our organization and programs. Thank you for considering this proposal, and we look forward to the possibility of working together to effect meaningful change in the world.

Moses Welfare Foundation is a government-registered organization under the Societies Act 1860 in Pakistan, dedicated to empowering communities and transforming lives through comprehensive support programs. Our mission is to uplift underprivileged individuals and families by addressing critical needs in medical aid, food security, education, skills training, labor rights advocacy, and sports. We believe in fostering a society where every individual has equal opportunities to thrive, regardless of their financial or social background. Through our various initiatives, we aim to create a sustainable impact that leads to long-term community development and improved quality of life. Medical Aid and Healthcare Support Access to healthcare is a fundamental right, yet millions of people in Pakistan struggle to afford medical treatments and essential medicines. Moses Welfare Foundation is committed to bridging this gap by providing free and subsidized healthcare services to those in need. We work with hospitals, doctors, and healthcare professionals to offer medical check-ups, diagnostic tests, and life-saving treatments for the underprivileged. Our medical aid program also extends to providing financial assistance for surgeries, maternity care, and emergency medical situations. Through health camps and awareness programs, we educate communities about preventive healthcare, hygiene, and nutrition, ensuring a healthier future for all. Food Banks and Hunger Relief Food insecurity remains a major challenge for many families, particularly in rural and low-income urban areas. Moses Welfare Foundation operates food banks that distribute essential groceries and cooked meals to individuals and families facing hunger. Our food distribution initiatives prioritize daily wage laborers, widows, orphans, and elderly individuals who lack consistent access to nutritious food. During religious and national holidays, as well as in times of crisis, we expand our food relief programs to reach a larger number of beneficiaries. Our goal is not just to provide immediate relief but to work towards long-term solutions to eradicate hunger through sustainable food security programs. Education for All Education is a powerful tool that can break the cycle of poverty and open doors to countless opportunities. At Moses Welfare Foundation, we are dedicated to making quality education accessible to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. We provide scholarships, school supplies, and financial aid to students who struggle to afford tuition fees, books, and uniforms. Our programs also include after-school tutoring, career counseling, and mentorship initiatives to help students excel academically and develop the skills they need to succeed in life. We believe that an educated society is a progressive society, and we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to learn and grow. Skills Development and Vocational Training Economic empowerment is a key aspect of our mission. We recognize that many individuals, especially youth and women, lack access to skill-building opportunities that can lead to stable employment or entrepreneurial ventures. Moses Welfare Foundation offers vocational training programs in various fields such as information technology, handicrafts, tailoring, and technical trades. By equipping individuals with practical skills, we enable them to secure jobs, start their own businesses, and achieve financial independence. Our training centers also provide career guidance, resume-building workshops, and job placement assistance to ensure that participants transition successfully into the workforce. Labor Rights Advocacy and Social Justice Many laborers in Pakistan face exploitation, unfair wages, and unsafe working conditions. Moses Welfare Foundation is a strong advocate for labor rights, working towards better policies and protections for workers in different industries. We provide legal assistance, awareness programs, and advocacy campaigns to help laborers understand their rights and fight for fair treatment. Our efforts also include collaborating with governmental and non-governmental organizations to push for labor reforms and social justice initiatives that benefit marginalized workers. We firmly believe that every worker deserves dignity, respect, and fair compensation for their labor. Youth Empowerment through Sports Sports play a crucial role in the physical, mental, and social development of young individuals. Our foundation actively promotes sports and recreational activities as a means of empowering youth and fostering community engagement. We organize tournaments, training sessions, and mentorship programs for aspiring athletes, ensuring they have access to the necessary resources and support. By encouraging sports participation, we aim to instill values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance among young individuals, helping them stay away from negative influences and lead healthier lifestyles. Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Natural disasters, pandemics, and other crises can leave communities vulnerable and in urgent need of support. Moses Welfare Foundation responds to emergencies by providing immediate relief in the form of food, shelter, medical aid, and financial assistance. Whether it's a flood, earthquake, or any other catastrophe, we mobilize our resources to ensure affected communities receive timely assistance. Our disaster relief efforts also include rebuilding homes, restoring livelihoods, and providing psychological support to help individuals recover from trauma and loss. Women and Child Welfare Programs Women and children are often the most vulnerable segments of society, facing issues such as domestic violence, lack of education, and economic dependency. Our foundation runs several programs aimed at empowering women through skills training, financial assistance, and legal aid. We also focus on child welfare by supporting orphanages, providing nutrition programs, and advocating for children's rights. By investing in women and children, we believe we are investing in the future of our nation. Community Development and Social Welfare A strong community is built on mutual support, collaboration, and shared progress. Moses Welfare Foundation undertakes various community development projects, including infrastructure improvements, clean water initiatives, and sanitation programs. We work closely with local leaders and organizations to address pressing social issues and create sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life for community members. Through volunteerism and active civic engagement, we encourage individuals to take part in social welfare activities and contribute towards building a more compassionate and united society. Sustainability and Future Goals At Moses Welfare Foundation, we believe in creating long-lasting impacts rather than short-term fixes. Our initiatives are designed to be sustainable, empowering individuals and communities to become self-sufficient over time.

By leveraging partnerships, technological advancements, and innovative approaches, we aim to enhance the effectiveness of our initiatives and create a legacy of positive change.

Suncokret - Community Development Center is a non-governmental and non-profit organization founded in 2004 in Vrginmost. The organization operates in Sisak-Moslavina County with the aim of alleviating the negative psychological, social and cultural consequences of the war and social problems in the region. Suncokret's work is focused on improving the quality of life of all community members, with a special emphasis on children and youth, community reconstruction and support for the development of a sustainable, democratic civil society. Our activities are based on working with individuals, families, groups and communities, encouraging active participation and training. We support positive initiatives, encourage mutual cooperation and respect for differences. The organization is committed to building democratic values, civic initiative and participation, community development, volunteerism and altruism, equal sharing of responsibilities and equal opportunities for all, regardless of gender, religion or nationality. In recent years, Suncokret has expanded its activities aimed at children, youth and the elderly to the earthquake-affected municipality of Topusko and the city of Glina. Over the years, Suncokret has continuously represented a stable pillar of social support for children and youth in the community, despite fluctuations in relations with local institutions. Today, institutions rely on Suncokret's provision of support to children and youth, as well as creating employment opportunities and support for the elderly in the community. Through its regular activities, with the support of younger team members from the community who grew up in Suncokret, the center's key target groups have services they can rely on: children (support in learning), the elderly (visits to the nursing home in Glina, repairs and assistance to elderly households in the villages) and the working-age population (employment through public works). During twenty years of operation, Suncokret has provided support and empowerment to several generations of children and youth from Vrginmost (over 1000 of them), as well as adults and elderly in difficult socio-economic situations. In its work, Suncokret relies to a large extent on the support of international volunteers who represent the significant human resources available to the center. To the extent possible, the Sunflower team has always tried to positively influence the development of the community through its activities and work - international volunteers have enabled generations of children and young people to get to know other cultures and accept multiculturalism, improve their language, communication and other skills; while the local team provides and coordinates community service activities. At Suncokret, volunteering means sharing and learning: volunteers learn about organic gardening, permaculture and sustainability, and in turn empower Suncokret by sharing their skills with children and youth and supporting the local community through physical work. Volunteer support made it possible to arrange access to a source of drinking water, clean up the environment, help elderly and infirm people with landscaping, work in the garden and vegetable garden, and preparation for winter. Sunsokret annually hosts over 150 volunteers and records more than 10,000 volunteer hours in the community. Vision Strong, supportive and sustainable communities in Sisak-Moslavina County and beyond where young people have opportunities and all residents exercise their rights - communities ready for the future. Mission Suncokret creates inclusive, connected, sustainable and resilient communities by bringing together different generations, empowering them, building relationships of trust and solidarity between them and engaging in various intercultural interactions and activities tailored to the needs of the community. Suncokret mobilizes and organizes international volunteers who contribute to social inclusion, interculturalism and intergenerational cooperation with their engagement. Values Integrity - Suncokret works transparently, demonstrating responsibility and being accountable to the community and partners, thereby building trust and long-term support. Diversity - Suncokret believes in diversity and in accepting and respecting diversity not only as a basis for normal individual development, but as a prerequisite for building strong and resilient communities. Human Rights - The basic rights of every person in the local community in which Suncokret operates, which are in any way questioned, provoke a reaction from Suncokret. Inclusivity - Suncokret is committed to creating communities in which all community members, regardless of their age, gender, socioeconomic status, nationality, religion or any other differences, are equally included and have equal opportunities to participate in activities and make decisions. Inclusivity is the foundation for building a just and solidarily connected society. Civic Responsibility - Suncokret encourages active civic participation, empowering individuals to take responsibility for the life and well-being of their communities. Lifelong Learning - Suncokret bases its work on non-formal education and encourages lifelong learning for all age groups. Suncokret - Centre for Community Development is a Croatian non-governmental, non-profit organization founded as a response to the psychosocial needs of a rural, isolated, economically depressed postwar and post earthquake community facing high unemployment and depopulation. Suncokret undertakes community development work and aims to address negative psychological, social and cultural consequences of the social upheavals and post disaster response in the region, to improve the quality of life for all, but especially for deprived socially excluded members of the society, to promote community rebuilding, and support development of a sustainable democratic civil society. Reintegration and the improvement of life is essential in this area that suffered war and displacement and now again after the earthquakes needed help. Some lost their homes in the war and again in the earthquakes in 2020. Our activities assist in the reintegration of the community and ultimately contribute community building and development of inter-ethnic/national understanding, tolerance and reconciliation. Through our current activities the Community Center is a catalyst for civic and social change. Our organization promotes community development in a rural community. We aim to develop dialogue and interpersonal tolerance in a multiethnic environment through educational and creative activities and provide informal education of the local population in the post war area. We encourage and empower civil society through education, volunteerism and activism and improve the quality of life by providing education, supporting the civil society and preserving the environment. We organise international volunteer camps, local community actions and service projects and by provide education, access to information and a variety of activities otherwise not readily available in this postwar area.
