We work alongside children in 115 countries, including the UK.
With global Save the Children members, our shared ambition is that by 2030;
By providing live-saving short-term help, and pushing for deep-rooted social change, we help children take their future into their own hands.
Every child has the right to learn.
Every child should have good food to fuel their bodies.
Every child should have medicine when they’re sick.
For over 100 years, we’ve fought for a fairer world for children.
Together with families, supporters and partners, we work to help every child get the future they deserve.
In Britain, we’re using apps to help parents support early learning. In Rwanda, we’ve kickstarted a reading revolution. With GSK, we’ve developed an antiseptic gel that could save half a million babies’ lives.

The Wild Horses of America Foundation was established in 2001 as a 501(c)3 charity with the goal of bettering the lives of America’s wild horses and burros.
When we started there were 10,000 horses and burros that had been removed from their native ranges and were being held in BLM facilities and pastures. Today, with approximately 61,000 in corrals and pastures (as of October 2023), our work focuses on keeping America’s wild horses and burros on the range.
Since 2015 we have partnered with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to treat the Onaqui Mountain Herd with contraception. Our work has been successful, and the herd’s reproductive rate has been reduced to about 5% per year. (Wild horse herds typically reproduce at a 15-20% rate, which means any given herd can double in size every 4-5 years.)
Your support is crucial to sustain this humane approach and extend similar programs to other herds. Join us in ensuring the best quality of life for America’s wild horses and burros.
We are also working with the BLM to administer GonaCon to a select number of mares. It is being administered to some of the more difficult to dart mares, and those that are no longer living within the Herd Management Area. The goal is to see if this longer-acting contraceptive can be an effective tool in controlling the growth rate of mares that are difficult to treat annually with PZP.
Please consider making a contribution to help advance this work.

Misool Foundation is an Indonesian Charity with projects in Raja Ampat, East Flores and Sorong
Misool Foundation (called Yayasan Misool Ekosistem Regenerasi in Indonesian) is the registered charity arm of the private island resort, Misool. The organisation has a proven track record of delivering measurable conservation results in some of the most remote and challenging locations in the world.
In our home base in Raja Ampat, our joint mission is to safeguard the most biodiverse reefs on Earth through the empowerment of local communities, providing a structure by which they are able to reclaim their traditional tenureship of reefs. The Foundation maintains a broad approach to conservation, combining environmental, social, and educational elements.
At the core of our operation is the belief that sustainable tourism and community-based conservation are mutually beneficial. We seek to demonstrate to our local hosts, government, guests, and ourselves that sustainable tourism can provide a better life than logging, mining, or overfishing.
Our Story:
Misool Foundation’s work began in 2005, when we leased 100,000 acres/425 sq km of sea from the local community in South Raja Ampat, Indonesia. At the centre of this area was a stunning uninhabited island called Batbitim. Its white beach was strewn with the carcasses of dead baby sharks, whose fins had been removed to supply the shark fin soup trade.
In 2006, construction work began on the site of the former shark-finning camp. The primary objective was to establish a conservation centre. But a funding vehicle was necessary to keep the conservation work happening. And so Misool Resort, was born. The resort was built entirely of reclaimed wood, and not a single tree was cut down in the process. You can read more about that story here.
Charity Intelligence Canada (Ci) began out of frustration in 2006. We wanted more information about charities we supported. Not stories but rather facts and figures. We struggled to find high quality evidence-based research to help guide our giving decisions. Nor could we find an independent third party to turn to for advice. And so we began calling charities from across Canada, asking hard questions and seeking excellence and shared our research reports.
Our approach to charitable giving is different. Just as a financial analyst researches potential stocks to find the best investment opportunities, Ci uses similar research methods to find exceptional charities for donors. As a result, donors have the tools they need to be better informed and make donations based on evidence. This means that more of what donors can afford to give makes a bigger difference, it has higher social impact.
Charity Intelligence’s analysis goes beyond plain subjectivity or narrow financial analysis to dig deeper to arrive at those charities proven to be the best in their field: not just ’do gooders’ but ’good doers’, too.

Medics Against Violence was established at a time when Glasgow was recognised as the murder capital of Europe, with a homicide rate double that of our neighbouring countries.
As healthcare professionals, we were encountering violent injuries in our daily working lives and recognised we required to do more work to prevent them from occurring as opposed to just fixing them when they happen.
We could patch up the slashings and stabbings, but the revolving door would continue to bring the same patients into our operating theatres and emergency departments time and time again. We knew we could do better.

Bright Start UK supports the provision of quality education for impoverished children by providing educational grants and funding related educational projects
Envisioning Access: Our Current Mission
As we go through our transition, we are guided by two fundamental principles:
First, our mission, providing innovative technologies and quality-of-life opportunities to those living with physical disabilities, will remain our compass.
Second, we will take care of our post-service monkeys until the end of their natural lives.
Now, after more than four decades of successfully delivering on our mission of providing service animals to help adults with physical disabilities live independent lives, we have recognized we need to adjust the way we operate in response to regulatory, market, and technology changes.
Thus, we are transitioning from a service animal model to exploring specific technologies, including different assistive robotics as well as augmented and virtual reality, to provide opportunities to give those living with physical disabilities the independence to go back to school, find meaningful career opportunities, meet others virtually in a variety of settings, or travel the world. Innovative solutions make endless possibilities for innovative lives.
Additionally, we are providing a safe, healthy, fulfilling environment for post-service and medically challenged monkeys for the rest of their lives at our state-of-the-art Monkey Living Center or in one of our special care homes/foster homes.

Child’s Play Charity is rooted in the healing power of play. Endowed by the gaming community, Child’s Play is devoted to improving the lives of children and teens in children’s hospitals.
Child’s Play was born in 2003 when Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins of Penny Arcade wanted to change the negative perception of gaming and gamers in the media.

Homelessness is a growing problem in the UK and an increasing number of homeless people have dogs. The bond between many homeless people and their dogs is profound and the health and wellbeing of their canine companions is often a major priority for their owners.
Life on the streets makes it difficult to access the fundamental vet care required to ensure the health and vitality these dogs deserve. StreetVet is a registered practice with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and has been established by a dedicated team of professional vets and veterinary nurses to bring that essential care to homeless people and their dogs across the capital. Together the StreetVet team take their experience out onto the streets of ever expanding locations, seeking out people; their dogs living rough, and delivering care and support required to ensure their combined wellbeing.
Combined with the critical support of a host of renowned organisations backing our team of qualified professionals, StreetVet is changing the future for homeless dogs who may otherwise have to go without the care they need and deserve.
Project Dynamo is an umbrella term encompassing two operations — Digital Dunkirk and Dynamo II. Both efforts are being run by extraordinary civilians with no ties to the U.S. government attempting to do the impossible — saving Americans and Afghan allies who are fearing for their lives as the Taliban regains control of Afghanistan.
What Is Digital Dunkirk?
Digital Dunkirk is a veterans coalition locating at-risk individuals and transporting them to temporary safer locations. Once relocated, they await being rescued and taken out of the country.
The name of the group is a reference to the evacuation of allied forces in Dunkirk during WWII with the help of civilians who volunteered their boats. You can read more about our efforts by using the hashtag #DigitalDunkirk on social media and by browsing our Press page.
What Is Dynamo II?
Digital Dunkirk is being assisted by an air branch, known officially as Dynamo II. This is a group of veterans who were contacted for help by their former Afghan interpreters and other people whose lives are at risk. The name is a reference to Operation Dynamo, the movement that evacuated allied soldiers during World War II from the beaches of Dunkirk.

Eurasia Foundation’s work is grounded in our commitment to supporting meaningful and lasting change in the communities in which we operate. Our core approach is based on the following guiding principles:
Adaptability
We adapt our programs to the distinct contexts in which we operate. From addressing barriers to women’s workplace entry to creating platforms for youth participation, we examine individual experiences and use our in-country networks to channel resources that are relevant and useful in the daily lives of our beneficiaries.
Collaboration
We are committed to building genuine and long-lasting partnerships based on trust and mutual respect. We brainstorm, design, and implement initiatives jointly with our partners on the ground. We consistently seek to improve the quality of our work by listening to stakeholders, partners, and beneficiaries.
Inclusivity
We amplify the voices of marginalized groups, particularly women, youth, minority populations, people with disabilities, and the economically disenfranchised. Our programs reach individuals and groups that reside beyond major cities and hubs and lack access to training opportunities, resources, and networks.
Practicality
We support the creation of local solutions by building leadership and subject matter expertise within communities. Our programs emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, reinforced with practical applications that help participants apply new skills in real-life settings.
Sustainability
We are committed to developing programs and solutions that can live on beyond our direct engagement. We balance the needs of the present within the context of a complex social, economic and environmental landscape. By pursuing sustainability, we improve the quality of our contribution, and encourage our partners to adopt the same approach.

Abundance International delivers care for these orphans with medical care, disabilities care, birthing center, education, construction projects, and more.
Caring for orphans is not glamorous work. It sometimes means carrying bags of potatoes, flats of eggs, and diapers. Sometimes it involves getting your hands dirty in a construction project. It’s not a question of comfort for ourselves, but a determination to do whatever it takes. These little ones deserve a good start in life.
TRAINING WAR DOCTORS, SAVING LIVES
Our mission is simple – to save victims of conflict and natural disaster by better-equipping the doctors who care for them
The David Nott Foundation was established with a simple mission: to provide the surgeons and medical professionals working in the most hostile environments with the skills and the confidence to save more lives.
There is unfortunate certainty in the enduring occurrence of conflict and natural disaster. Environmental catastrophe and civil unrest are becoming an increasingly inherent part of our global landscape. At the frontlines of these crises are the doctors and medical professionals who work tirelessly – often against the odds – to help victims and preserve life.
Yet in countries where resources are scarce, and access to equipment and training is limited, these doctors are left to face the most challenging of circumstances, ill-equipped and unsupported.
The Hungarian Reformed Charity Service is a non-profit charitable organization with a Reformed background and Christian values, which has been operating since 2006. Regardless of gender, religion or political affiliation, we provide assistance to the needy people living in the Carpathian Basin, in accordance with the principle of need. In addition, we have organized a number of foreign missions in recent years to help areas affected by natural and humanitarian disasters.
We operate 6 offices in Hungary, 1-1 in Transcarpathia and Transylvania, where our 148 employees and more than 500 volunteers perform charity activities nationwide.
Every year, tens of thousands of children and families living in difficult circumstances count on our charity, whether it be social assistance, development or even care. Some of our best known programs are: Love Bridge, Love Box, Sagittarius Miss Scholarship, Rescue Bear Program.
We are a non-governmental, non-profit organization founded on the ideals of humanism, freedom, equality and solidarity. We consider human dignity and freedom to be fundamental values. We believe that people anywhere in the world should have the right to make decisions about their lives and to share the rights expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
We strive for a society that is open, informed, engaged and responsible with respect to problems at home and around the world. We want to actively participate in shaping a society where cultural, ethnic, racial and other differences are a source of enrichment rather than conflict.
We are an intrinsic part of civil society. Our work is based on the personal initiative and activity of hundreds of our employees and volunteers, both in the Czech Republic and in the dozens of other countries where we operate, as well as the trust and support we are endowed with by individuals, businesses, governments and international institutions.
Depaul International is the parent charity of the Depaul Group, a group of charities that works across the world with a mission to end homelessness and change the lives of those affected by it
What we do
Depaul makes a difference to people around the world who are disadvantaged and experiencing homelessness
Innovation and growth
We provide a platform for Group members to share and develop new approaches to ending homelessness – informed by best practice and stemming from their own experience. We also establish new subsidiaries in countries where we can improve what is on offer, or, where there is an identified lack of services for people experiencing homelessness.
When an armed conflict breaks out or a natural disaster strikes, the local community is not always able to react to the crisis on its own. State authorities do not have sufficient funds, the people afflicted by disaster suddenly lose their possessions and are deprived of access to safe drinking water and other resources which they might find useful in a crisis. In such cases, immediate humanitarian response is needed.
Conflicts and disasters force people to leave their safe homes and to flee and seek shelter far from danger. Shifting frontlines or an unstable socioeconomic situation in the region prevent them from settling safely in one place.
Food and water prices are rising exorbitantly. Some zones are hardly accessible and very often there is no way of delivering any non-food items to them.
At POLISH HUMANITARIAN ACTION our aim is to provide immediate and effective help to people whose life or health is in danger due to a humanitarian crisis. The principle of humanitarianism, to which we are firmly committed, provides that human suffering must meet with a reaction in any circumstances. We engage in activities intended to immediately provide safe drinking water, food, shelter and the bare essentials to the afflicted people.

Law for Life: the Foundation for Public Legal Education is an education and information charity that aims to increase access to justice by providing everyone with an awareness of their legal rights together with the confidence and skills to assert them.
We believe that everyone should understand their legal rights and obligations, and know how to gain redress through the legal system. Yet most people struggle to cope with legal issues, and often don’t know where to go for help.
Being able to cope with family and housing issues, sorting out employment and benefit matters or difficulties with goods and services is crucial. These issues are the cornerstones of everyday life that can become drivers of poverty and inequality if left unresolved.
We have the expertise, the practical experience, and the tools to work with any organisation that wants to support the legal needs of their service users.

FIMRC is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization dedicated to improving access to healthcare for families around the world through the implementation of innovative and self-sustaining health programs. Through its network of outpatient clinics and partnerships, FIMRC asserts a multidimensional strategy that includes clinical services, extensive community outreach efforts, and health education programs.
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, 90% of FIMRC’s revenue was generated through international global health volunteer travel. Each year, more than 900 volunteers traveled to FIMRC sites around the world, contributing time and resources to FIMRC’s program in exchange for a comprehensive, hands-on global health experience. Since COVID-19, international volunteer travel has been paused and FIMRC’s clinical and preventive health services are entirely funded through donations and participation in virtual volunteer programs.
FIMRC was founded in 2002, is incorporated in Washington, DC and headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. The FIMRC team includes more than 3,000 dedicated staff and volunteers worldwide who provide the leadership and support necessary to achieve our mission of improving access to healthcare for children in medically underserved communities.
Countries
Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, India, Nicaragua, Peru, Philippines, Uganda
Children
FIMRC focuses on children within all 10 sites, providing services for children whether that is through health promotion and education in local schools, nutrition programs, mental health support, and orphan and vulnerable children programs.
Can you imagine your day without power?
For many communities living in difficult to reach and low-income areas around the world, governments and private companies do not provide the energy services that we often take for granted.
At Renewable World, we exist to serve alongside these marginalised communities, while also serving our planet as stewards of a carbon-neutral and prosperous future for all.
We do this by working within a network of talented local partners and remote energy-poor communities to develop affordable and innovative renewable energy solutions that service families living without any means of safe and reliable power.
Why Energy?
We believe that access to affordable and reliable energy is critical to providing everything a community needs to thrive: from healthcare to water, to education, to jobs. And yet, more than 840 million people worldwide do not have access to clean, safe energy sources.
In addition to providing transformative power for communities, energy is also at the centre of a new global challenge: the climate crisis. Unpredictable weather and environmental degradation caused by fossil fuel emissions continue to threaten livelihoods around the world.
Sadly, it is often the remote, energy-poor communities that are also most impacted by climate breakdown. It is this joint urgency – to service the most underserved families while working to solve the climate crisis – that we dedicate ourselves.
Our Goal
Every person deserves the right to determine their own future. Access to energy and a clean environment makes this possible.
We envision a world where renewable energy is readily accessible to all, helping to end extreme poverty and reduce climate change.
We are developing and deploying effective solutions that bring renewable energy to scale for poor communities, (em)powering thousands to achieve sustainable and resilient livelihoods.
You too can (em)power the world.
Since 1957, Cookson Hills has provided home, school, and therapy for kids who are at-risk. We are a children’s home in Northeast Oklahoma, serving kids ages 5-17 who want to write a better story for their lives and have experienced challenges with family life, homelessness, poor peer relationships, abuse, or neglect. Compelled by the love of Christ, our team works together to fulfill our vision – to raise up healthy individuals who are empowered to positively impact future generations.
Non-Discrimination Policy
Cookson Hills Christian School, Inc. admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
Policy on working with drug, alcohol, pharmaceutical and tobacco (DAPT) industries
Transform believes that drugs should be legally regulated, with retail placed under a system of
state licensing. Inevitably, this implies that a legitimate commercial market in currently illegal
drugs will emerge. While our policy models allow for a range of different licensing options, all
would involve some degree of commercialization. However, Transform also believes that the
goal of drug policy should be the promotion of public health, social justice and human rights.
There is, inevitably, a tension between these goals and the pursuit of profit that motivates the
actions of commercial actors in this market.
Transform also highly values its independence and ability to speak truth to power. Therefore, it
is critical that Transform remains, and is seen to remain, unswayed by the influence of
commercial interests in its work. This can only be achieved by retaining a clear distance
between its financial interests and those of the commercial sector.
The opportunity to enter into financial relationships with DAPT companies has only grown with
the emergence of large companies engaged in the production and retail of legal cannabis.
Transform recognizes that such enterprises are a valid and inevitable aspect of a regulated
market; however, we also believe that public health policy should be designed without the
undue influence of those who primary purpose is profit-maximisation. Therefore, despite the
potential attraction of income, we should strive to remain independent of such influence.
Dream Foundation serves terminally-ill adults and their families by providing end-of-life Dreams that offer inspiration, comfort and closure. Over the past 25 years, our Dreams have provided psychosocial and emotional support tailored to more than 32,000 terminally-ill adults and their families.
The only national dream-granting organization, Dream Foundation’s Dreams touch lives, meet essential needs, reunite families, and play a critical role in the special end-of-life care that focuses on improving quality of life for Dream recipients and their families. Dreams can be as simple as paying a heating bill to relieve financial stress, creating happy memories, meeting a personal hero—any request that provides support and compassion.
We have built a nationwide community of hundreds of volunteers, hospices, health care organizations, committed individuals and corporate donors that support compassionate care for terminally-ill adults. Each year, they help us give life to 2,500 Dreams nationwide.
Dream recipients are at least 18-years-old, have a life expectancy of 12 months or less, and lack the resources to achieve their Dreams on their own.
OUR MISSION
Dream Foundation serves terminally-ill adults and their families by providing end-of-life Dreams that offer inspiration, comfort and closure.
MARITIME ARCHAEOLOGY TRUST
Investigate | Engage | Promote | Protect
The Maritime Archaeology Trust was established to study and manage the underwater cultural heritage and disseminate the results. The organisation was set up over thirty years ago to develop a strategic approach to the sustainable management of the maritime archaeological resource in the UK and internationally.
Our pioneering investigation of shipwrecks, intertidal structures, drowned settlements and submerged prehistoric landscapes has steered research in projects across north-west Europe, in the Mediterranean Sea, the Arabian Gulf and the Red Sea. Our education, outreach and volunteering programmes make maritime heritage available to all through events, activities, our Discovery Bus and through the Shipwreck Centre and Maritime Museum.
WHAT WE DO We have been providing free, professional and specialist bereavement support services for over 15 years
Founded by Dr Shelley Gilbert MBE, our mission is to give every child and young person access to the best possible support following the death of someone close.
We work closely with individuals, families, schools and professionals to offer a way through the anxiety, fear and isolation so often caused by grief. Our services include:
We are an open-access charity, funded by the generosity of our supporters, and here to help alleviate the pain and confusion caused by the death of a parent or sibling. Bereavement is devastating at any age, but for a child it is life-changing. Get in touch with us if you need support.
The Los Angeles Orphanage Guild is a charitable organization of women whose members act as dedicated ambassadors in the community, raising funds and awareness to ensure Maryvale can continue the wonderful work they do on behalf of the children in their care.
We accomplish this mission in several ways:
British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) was formed in 1988, when a few like-minded divers got together in response to a mass mortality of common seals in the Wash area of East Anglia, to do what they could for the rescue effort in response to the Phocine Distemper Virus epidemic that resulted in thousands of deaths.
Since 1988, BDMLR has been involved in the rescue of marine wildlife after every major marine disaster, including the Braer shipwreck in Shetland, the Sea Empress grounding in Milford Haven, and the Napoli shipwreck in Dorset.
Seal rescue has remained a major component of the BDMLR’s work, with medics rescuing animals in all seasons around the UK.
Although seal rescue has remained a key component of the charity’s work, it has become progressively more involved in the response to stranded and entangled cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoise). BDMLR were founder members of the Marine Animal Rescue Coalition (MARC), an affiliation of organisations with an active interest and involvement in the management of marine mammal strandings in the UK, with a primary focus of improving the response to live cetacean strandings. This has been achieved through sharing information and opinions, encouraging training and equipment, and consideration of the options available for the disposition of beached animals in the context of UK strandings patterns.
Every year, BDMLR trains over 1000 volunteer Marine Mammal Medics and has 20 whale rescue pontoons located at strategic points throughout the UK, waiting to help stranded whales and dolphins.

Anxiety UK was formed in 1970, by Katharine and Harold Fisher as a result of Katharine’s experience of agoraphobia and her desire to develop support for others similarly affected.
Since those early beginnings, we’ve grown to become a national organisation with an international reach, whilst retaining a user-led ethos – being run by and for those with anxiety.
Many of our small seven strong staff team have their own lived experience and understand the distress, isolation and misery that anxiety can cause. We’re here to help and can support you to find ways to control anxiety instead of it controlling you.
Help us to make the despair caused by anxiety a thing of the past

Mission
Refocus is dedicated to creating a global network of media labs to equip asylum seekers with modern media creation skills, and to provide a platform to showcase original work and share their stories. Refocus continues to report from the front line of the crisis, and regularly engages in school communities with interactive events and media art installations.
Motivations
Tens of thousands of teenage and young adult asylum seekers continue to flee war, persecution or extreme poverty. Crucial years of education are lost while lingering in refugee camps waiting for asylum, and in turn dreams and aspirations are compromised. Refocus media labs fights to change this reality by training our students through photography, audio and video production, graphic design, media editing and computer classes.
Our mission is to transform society through preventive actions, to generate a positive impact on the protection of dogs and cats and on the conservation of Brazilian species.

The Ayahuasca Foundation envisions a future where a new paradigm of medical understanding predominates every culture of the world. In this new field of medicine, modern technology is used alongside natural medicine to produce a holotropic treatment plan, effecting positive change on every level of human existence. This paradigm shift back towards the indigenous worldview will not just alter the way medicine is practiced, but will change the way economies are structured, governments operate, companies are monitored, and how people relate to one another. When we once again see this planet as one living organism of which we are all a part, then we will reverse the negative impact of humankind and cocreate a healthy and happy planet, a true paradise.
The Ayahuasca Foundation was conceived in the spring of 2008 by Carlos Tanner, an American and student of curanderismo. After living and studying with a curandero for over four years, Carlos worked to provide a safe and effective way for people to not only receive treatment in the healing tradition of the Amazon but also to study the tradition, the way he had with his maestro. The idea for the Ayahuasca Foundation was born from a desire to spread the science of plant medicine back into the world. The Foundation supports the preservation of indigenous wisdom and culture, offering healing retreats and educational courses, and conducting research focused on the ayahuasca healing tradition used for millennia by indigenous healers of the Peruvian Amazon. The Ayahuasca Foundation also supports the preservation of the Amazon rainforest, and promotes educational efforts to raise awareness about sustainability, permaculture, and harmonious environmental relationships. The Foundation participates in community outreach programs and cultural reeducation projects.

We achieve this through:
Producing educational resources

The Patchwork Foundation works to equip young people with the necessary skills and experience to encourage active participation in democracy and wider civil society.

The result is a stronger and more representative country; a nation where we encourage everyone to play their part, and a society that hears and responds to the needs of all.
The Patchwork Foundation mission is to promote and encourage the positive integration of disadvantaged and minority communities into British democracy and civil society. We are not affiliated with any political party and do not promote a particular political view. We do, however, work on the promotion of mainstream political and social participation and work with the main political parties and democratic institutions to support this agenda.
COURAGE: We have the courage to stand up and speak; to sit down and listen; and to do what is right, not what is easy.
EMPATHY: We always do our best to stand in someone else’s shoes; feel with their heart; and see through their eyes.

CURIOSITY: We are constantly questioning and learning as we always seek to better understand the world around us.

We believe every child, young person and family must have:

At the heart of Smart Works sits a dressing and coaching service, delivered both in person and remotely.
Each client has a personalised styling session with two Smart Works volunteer stylists, receiving a complete outfit of high quality clothes and accessories for their specific job interview, which are free and hers to keep. We make sure that our clients look fabulous, feel confident and have everything they need, from a winter coat to a pair of tights.
After her dressing, each client receives a one-to-one interview preparation and coaching session with an experienced HR professional or senior manager. The interview session focuses on increasing the awareness of her own strengths, answering questions effectively and understanding what is expected of her at interview.
Once a client is successful at interview, they are welcomed back for a Second Dressing to receive five additional pieces of clothing. This means that they can start their new role with a capsule working wardrobe which will see them through until their first pay cheque.
When our clients re-enter the workplace, we encourage them to join the Smart Works Network, a membership group of women who have recently returned to work. The Network meet on a monthly basis to further their professional and personal development, helping and motivating one another to succeed.
For women who have yet to secure job interviews, we also offer a Career Coaching service, helping them to identify tangible next steps in their journey to employment.
Over 94% of our clients reported that a visit to Smart Works significantly increased their confidence in succeeding at their job interview.
There are many foundations and associations that save animals. So why are we helping little molossers? Because it is they who pay a high price because of their popularity.
This is our everyday life.
Cute French and English bulldogs, pugs are almost everywhere - on TV, on gadgets, their images adorn their clothes. Watching these beautiful pictures, bulldogs are often bought carelessly, under the influence of fashion, from pseudo-breeding aimed at quick profit ... Such dogs come to us - those who are often victims of inbreeding and are born with many genetic defects, not immediately visible in first contact, or are improperly farmed - inanimate, without proper medical care, vaccinations. 80% of SAB dogs, that is, those we constantly look after due to their health condition, came to us as puppies. This is largely the opposite of most shelters.
Dogs that end up for adoption are often dogs whose breed has outgrown their owners. They suffer from allergies or other skin diseases, are inadequately nourished, or are expensive to maintain, etc.
Our statutory goals are direct help to animals in need, counteracting pseudo-breeding, carrying out adoptions, education in the field of proper treatment of animals.
Since the beginning of SAB’s existence, we have saved 1000 dogs from pseudo-kennels, shelters, interventions, we want to save another 1000 and more. If it wasn’t for the hard, team work of good people, many of these sweet faces that touch the heart would not be in the world anymore. They have a happy life by working together. Let us stay together, let us help, let us be happy that we save these beautiful and beloved creatures.

Can you imagine not being able to read this sentence?
250 million children can’t.
250 million children of primary school age lack basic reading, writing and math skills.
What does 250 million mean, exactly?
75%. Up to 75% of children in more deprived regions of poor countries can’t read a single word even after several years in school.
$129 Billion. The cost of 250 million children around the world not learning basic skills translates into a loss of an estimated US$129 billion per year
Education impacts every area of life
A lack of quality education can lead to:
Why education?
Education leads to higher income, improved health, gender equality and a better future.
Education provides higher income
A quality education breaks the cycle of poverty. Globally, every year a child completes of primary school increases earnings by 10% and raises the average annual gross domestic product by 0.37%. Children who receive an education are more likely to send their own children to school, preventing the transmission of poverty through generations.
Education leads to improved health
If all women completed primary education, the under-5 mortality rate would fall by 15% in low and lower middle income countries, saving almost a million children’s lives every year. Going to school also allows students to learn about healthy hygiene practices, which they can bring into their daily lives.
Education breaks down the gender gap
Girls who go to school are less likely to marry early or against their will. Education empowers women to make life choices and strengthens girls’ beliefs in their ability to achieve goals.
Education brings about a better future
When all children have access to quality education rooted in human rights and gender equality, it creates a ripple effect of opportunity that influences generations to come. Education continues to be identified as one of the key conditions for determining peace within societies.
WELCOME TO THE BIGGEST CORAL REEF RESTORATION EFFORT ON THE PLANET.
We are actively restoring coral reefs on a massive scale, educating others on the importance of our oceans, and using science to further coral research and coral reef monitoring techniques.
We work to support the reefs’ natural recovery processes through the large-scale cultivation, outplanting, and monitoring of genetically diverse, reef-building corals.
We engage and empower the community to join us to save our planet’s coral reefs with dive programs, educational activities, scientific collaborations, and outreach.
RESTORATION
WE ARE ACTIVELY RESTORING CORAL REEFS ON A MASSIVE SCALE
We grow corals in offshore Coral Tree™ Nurseries, and then rehome them on carefully selected sites.
Since 2007, we have returned more than 130,000 critically endangered corals back to Florida’s Coral Reef.
Many of these corals have now grown into thriving colonies with the ability to spawn, kick-starting the reefs’ natural process of recovery.
SCIENCE
OUR APPROACH IS GUIDED BY RESEARCH AND COLLABORATION
We work with 415 coral genotypes across 11 species, to ensure that we are restoring the reefs’ genetic diversity and resilience.
We rigorously monitor our outplanted corals and use data to inform our strategic development.
We collaborate with universities, aquariums, NGOs, and government agencies including NOAA and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
EDUCATION
WE ARE ENGAGING AND EMPOWERING THE COMMUNITY
