Willamette Riverkeeper’s sole mission is to protect and restore the Willamette River. We believe that a river with good water quality and abundant natural habitat, safe for fishing and swimming is a basic public right. The Willamette River belongs to all of us and should be protected as such. They work to enable the Willamette River Watershed to function more naturally with cold, pure water, meandering backchannels, and dynamic habitat for fish and wildlife. The health of this natural ecosystem is inseparable from the quality of life of our communities who live and work in its surrounding watershed; each is dependent on the other.

At TITI FOUNDATION, we believe that every community, no matter how affected by conflict or hardship, has the potential to lead its own transformation. Our mission is to empower people who have long been marginalized or oppressed to take charge of their futures. We're here to provide the tools, knowledge, and support they need to build lasting change for themselves, their families, and their communities. Through our work, we focus on sustainable peace, prosperity, and dignity, ensuring that everyone especially those most in need has a voice and an opportunity to thrive. What We Care About 1. Food Security and Livelihoods For many families in South Sudan, putting food on the table is a constant struggle. At TITI FOUNDATION, we believe in turning that struggle into self-reliance. We work with communities to help them grow their own food, providing seeds, tools, and training to build stronger, more resilient food systems. Our goal is to empower families to feed themselves and create a future where hunger is not an everyday fear. We also ensure that everyone, especially women and youth, have a seat at the table when it comes to farming and livelihood decisions, making sure no one is left behind. 2. Education for All Education is the key to a brighter future, and we're passionate about making it accessible to every child, no matter where they come from. We focus on providing opportunities for children especially and girls, who have been denied an education because of conflict or poverty. But we don't stop there. We also invest in adult education and vocational training, helping parents and community leaders gain new skills that empower them to build better lives for themselves and their families. We want to break the cycle of poverty, one lesson at a time. 3. Climate Resilience and Sustainability In South Sudan, the environment is a force of both beauty and destruction. With the challenges of flooding, drought, and land degradation, we've seen firsthand how climate change can tear families apart. But we also know that communities have the strength to fight back. Our agroforestry projects are designed to help communities restore the land, plant trees that prevent flooding and erosion, and grow drought-resistant crops. By teaching sustainable farming practices, we ensure that people can not only survive climate challenges but thrive despite them. 4. Health and Nutrition Good health is something many of us take for granted, but for countless families in South Sudan, it's a daily struggle. We're working to change that by improving access to healthcare, promoting better nutrition, and tackling preventable diseases. We ensure that women and children who are often the most vulnerable have the support and resources they need to live healthier lives. Our focus is on prevention and education, helping people make informed choices that improve their health today and in the future. 5. Empowering Women and Advancing Gender Equity We know that when women thrive, entire communities thrive. That's why TITI FOUNDATION is committed to empowering women, especially in the most difficult of circumstances. From leadership training to economic empowerment programs, we are helping women take charge of their futures and lead change in their communities. But our work isn't just about women, it's about building a more equal society where everyone, regardless of gender, has the opportunity to contribute and succeed. 6. Promoting Peace and Social Cohesion South Sudan has known its fair share of conflict, and we understand that lasting peace can only be built when communities work together. We engage with local leaders, youth, and families to foster dialogue, reduce tensions, and find common ground. By promoting peacebuilding from the ground up, we help people heal, rebuild trust, and work collaboratively toward a future free from violence. Our goal is to create communities where everyone feels safe, valued, and connected to each other. Our Commitment to Inclusion, Protection, and Accountability At TITI FOUNDATION, inclusion is at the heart of everything we do. We're committed to making sure that no one is left out, whether due to gender, disability, age, or any other factor. We listen to the people we serve, ensuring their voices are heard and respected every step of the way. We also understand the importance of protection and safeguarding. Our programs are designed with the highest standards of safety and care, ensuring that every person especially the most vulnerable can participate without fear of harm. We take our responsibility seriously, always striving for transparency and accountability in how we manage resources and implement programs. Our community engagement is all about building trust and partnerships. We actively involve community members in decision-making, ensuring that solutions are relevant and driven by local needs. We also have systems in place to map resources, identify gaps, and refer people to the right services, because we know that the best way to solve problems is by working together. Building a Future Together At TITI FOUNDATION, we're not just about providing aid, we're about creating lasting change that is driven by the people we serve. We believe in the strength of communities to overcome adversity, and we are here to support that journey. By ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate, to be heard, and to lead, we're helping build a future where every person can live with dignity, security, and hope.
