This is accomplished by bringing about a change in the mindset and consciousness of the individual and the community as a whole, and encouraging it to manifest in a diverse way and in all fields of life. Current IssuesDespite various government schemes, most Indian villages struggle with and suffer due to deplorable economic and infrastructural conditions. Education, health care and community development are still considered an extravagance. Our Work With our Integral Village Development programme, we are involved in most of the essential aspects of rural development . Our primary aim is to create an integrated model for rural advancement which can then be replicated in other areas. Impact Our Integral Village Development programme is a process of human and community development, which unfolds from within each person and the community. Its impact is in the material, social as well as the psychological dimensions.
Better Life: Africa is a charity that exists to offer a better life to the people it reaches. Working in and amongst the poorest children in the Shanzu district of Africa, we are providing education and practical help. The charity runs a primary school in Mombasa in Kenya. There are over 150 children at the school, many from the poorest families in the area. The current school has 4 permanent classrooms and 5 temporary classrooms. We have to move out from the temporary buildings in October 2013. We have bought an ideal piece of land further into the Bush still within walking distance of the school. We have dug the bore hole and we have had plans approved and surveyed. The total cost of the new school is around £70,000. We are hoping that the building materials donated will bring the cost down. It means we still have tens of thousands of pounds to raise. Please donate to give children in Africa a better chance of a better life...

To provide support and guidance to families* who have lost a child of any age. This we will achieve by: - Extending the support network to those families beyond the hospital, healthcare community, families and friends. - Providing a support community, with other parents in similar situations, to reinforce the slogan "You Are Not Alone". This will be achieved through the web site, through meetings and other social events. - Providing financial assistance for those families who are having difficulty paying for standard funeral disbursements**. * Residing in, and requiring a funeral in, the UK. ** Standard funeral disbursements are: Church fees, minister fees, organist fees, cemetery fees, crematorium fees, doctors' fees. (It is usual for these fees to be waived or reduced for a child's funeral.) Standard funeral disbursements ARE NOT: Funeral Director professional fees, funeral printing, vehicles, flowers, press notices, memorials, catering and anything else, considered by the trustees, not to be essential to a basic funeral.
Homes in Zimbabwe was established in 2004 to provide funds for the maintenance of Old People's Homes in Zimbabwe. The homes then were in serious need of help on account of the economic decline and high inflation that had completely eroded their financial reserves. Today we have had to divert almost all our resources to supplying food and fuel to safeguard the very lives of the elderly of all races living in residential homes and many still living at home often alone.. The local currency is now worthless removing any buying power from all local pensions, and although food is now available, it is priced in US$'s - a currency out of reach to most pensioners.

MISSION STATEMENT:Our mission is to provide support to the children’s education for families who are in poverty and are affected by CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) in Sri Lanka, through donating school kits, projects to build houses and the provision of safe drinking water. WHY OUR HELP IS NEEDED: Most of the families have members who are suffering from severe illnesses and are spending what little money they have on medicine. This leaves nothing to support their children's education. Without education, the children are less likely to reach their full potential or access opportunities in adulthood. We hope to change this for as many children as possible. WORK SO FAR (AUGUST 2017):• Provided 136 school kits which include bags, shoes, exercise books, a water bottle and a full set of stationary • Identified 11 families who are living in extreme poverty without clean water, electricity and access to food and clothing• Built 1 house in January 2017OUR NEXT PROJECTS:• To build further 10 houses by August 2019. Discussion is currently underway to secure the land and now we need to raise the adequate funds• To build a water purifying centre• Medical camps • Continue supply of school kits Charity No: 1174191 Find out more Facebook http://www.facebook.com/mkadsfoundation/

Volunteer Africa is unlike other volunteering organisations. We are run by a team of committed returned volunteers with the dual aims of enabling people to make a difference to the lives of rural Africans and to raise funds for our partner NGOs. Volunteer Africa does not spend any money on paid advertising and our operating costs are minimal meaning that the money you pay to participate is spent in Africa enabling community development. Volunteers participate in our programmes from all over the world including Denmark, Brazil, Mexico, Ireland, Canada, US, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Hong Kong. Volunteers come from all walks of life and ages. Applications are welcome throughout the world. Volunteer Africa has worked with HAPA in Singida since 2002, the two organisations being successors to the highly successful HPA (Health Projects Abroad) programme that started in Singida in 1996. Volunteers work alongside villagers on community-initiated building projects. Past projects have included health dispensaries, school classrooms, pit latrines, homes for teachers and medical staff. Volunteers live in camp conditions in the village. Where possible we aim to place people in a group of volunteers but this is not always possible. You are fully supported during your time in the village by HAPA staff backed up by Volunteer Africa. The conditions are tough and most villages we work in do not have electricity or running water. The project for 2013 is We are planning to support school construction at a village called IKIWU at Kijota ward and Mtinko Division. At that village they have established a new school with three classes yet roofed. The village has six harmlets known as Nkwae, Muungano,Nambaro, Matundi and Mburi. Total population 4600. There is only one primary school that is hosting a total of 743 pupils using seven teachers. Most of the pupils walk about six kilometres to school and then six kilometers home again. The school seem to be conjested so have approached HAPA for support. So we are proposing to support this community for year 2013. There there will be more project to support including pit latrines, staff houses to work on so lots to do in 2013.

http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/charities/http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/charities/Edu-Care:MakingaDifference target="_blank" title="Link opens in a new window"> Edu-Care is a UK charity raising funds for primary and nursery education, health and human rights for young people in Cameroon, West Africa. We provide funds for building materials, education and medical equipment, clean water supply and sustainable electricity to schools and empower young people to learn about their rights and uphold them. We also co-ordinate volunteers sponsoring children in schools and assisting very poor youth with hospital bills. We believe that sustainable education especially for young people is the best way out of poverty, corruption, abuse of human rights and child exploitation which are common practices in Africa. The project in hand is the building of a nursery and primary school in a remote village in Cameroon to serve about 700 children. View the recent pictures in the photo gallery. We have raised about £31,000 which was our primary target. But this was a great under-estimation given the inflation. Therefore your generous donations will be very much appreciated to add a further £10,000 to complete the venture.

Cancer already causes more deaths each year worldwide than HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria combined. By 2020 there are expected to be 16 million new cases of cancer every year, 70 per cent of which will be in developing countries, which are least prepared to address the growing cancer burden. THE TIME TO TAKE ACTION IS NOW. African countries are the least able of all developing countries to cope, having few cancer care services. Lack of resources and basic infrastructure mean that most Africans have no access to cancer screening, early diagnosis, treatment or palliative care. Consequently a diagnosis of cancer leads, in most cases, to a painful and distressing death. AfrOx is currently working on a range of programmes in Ghana. Our programme priorities in Ghana include: - Support for national cancer care planning. - Provision of training and education for healthcare staff. - Improvement in palliative care. - The early diagnosis and treatment of cancer. - Raising public awareness of the early signs of cancer and methods of cancer prevention. For more information about our work, please visit our website: www.afrox.org AfrOx believes that by forging alliances of individuals, NGOs and governments to share expertise, technology, training and a degree of philanthropic support, much could be done to help reduce global disparities in cancer care. We hope that you will work together with us to achieve this goal.
