RCI works to create a world where every caregiver is seen, heard, and supported.

The Rosalynn Carter Institute For Caregivers (RCI) drives transformative systems change to improve the strength, health, and resilience of family caregivers. We advance collaborative solutions rooted in evidence, driven by caregivers, and focused on achieving sustained impact.

Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers

Focusing to make good quality healthcare accessible for underprivileged communities.

Medicare Health Foundation (MHF) is a non-profit organization based in Pakistan, dedicated to providing good quality healthcare for low income and underprivileged communities. At their hospitals, MHF have made care extremely affordable and make sure that those who cannot pay are not turned away. At Medicare, they believe that no human being should suffer from health issues just because they are not able to afford medical services. A large number of our patients are treated through the generous support of our donors, from donations.
 
 
 
 Vision: To ensure the accomplishment of the following goals in the underprivileged communities:
 
 
 
   Healthy women through safe birth and gynecological care
 
   Healthy children through pediatric care
 
   Healthy population through General/Specialist Medical care
 
 
 
 Mission 2040: Medicare Health Foundation aims to establish a healthcare system catering to the underprivileged, consisting of:
 
 
 
   6-twenty bedded community hospitals
 
   12 small-scale community based Mother and Child Healthcare Units(MCH’s)
 
   1 Training Institute for Nurses and Paramedical Staff
 
 
 
 MHF presently run three healthcare facilities in Lahore - Pakistan, namely:
 
 
 
 Medicare Hospital Badami Bagh 
 
 
 
 This was the first hospital, established in the year 2004. It is a 28 bedded hospital, equipped with an Operation Theatre, Labour Room, Patient Wards, Neonatal Nursery, Pathology Laboratory, Dental Clinic and Out-Patient Clinics. Primarily focused on ensuring safe birth, obstetrics and gynecological care are the main in-patient services provided. The OPD, available for both males and females belonging to any age group includes General Medicine, Antenatal Care, Immunization and Vaccination, Dental Clinic, Dermatology, ENT, Laboratory, X-Ray and Ultrasound.
 
 
 
 Medicare Hospital – Noor Elahi Branch 
 
 
 
 This hospital, located on Ferozpur Road, was donated in 2016 to us by a philanthropist, Mr. Gulzar ul Haq. He was running it as a dispensary for limited hours each day, and wanted to transfer the reins to a reliable organization, so his noble work would carry on. After major renovation and reconstruction, the hospital was inaugurated by Medicare Health Foundation in April 2018. Since then, MHF have devoted ourselves to providing a range of medical services, and have introduced new specialties to cater to the growing demand for healthcare. Besides Gynecology and Obstetrics, the services also include Pediatrics, Orthopedics, General Surgeries, Dentistry, General OPD and Diagnostics.
 
 
 
 Mother and Child Healthcare Centre (MCH) 
 
 
 
 Funded collaboratively by Netherlands Embassy Islamabad and Medicare Health Foundation, the first MCH was established in Shadbagh in the year 2016. This facility, aimed at reaching out further within the underprivileged community, is a two-bedded normal delivery center established to displace unskilled birth practices, and improve maternal and neonatal health. Functioning under the close supervision of Medicare Hospital Badami Bagh, this center has a small team of skilled and competent nurses, certified to conduct normal deliveries, deliver neonatal care and monitor the growth of children. In case of medical complexities, the patient is referred to nearby Medicare Hospital in Badami Bagh.
 
 
 
 A Glimpse into Our Community Service Initiatives 
 
 
 
 Every year, as part of MFHs charity drives, they do gift distribution in poor communities on Eid and Christmas. Every Ramzan, give goody bags to patients at Childrens Hospital Lahore, while on Christmas they go to churches with gifts for underprivileged children.
 
 
 
 Medical camps and Awareness Drives
 
 
 
 To ensure the good health of the community, MHF regularly organize free medical camps whereby specialist doctors examine patients, who are also provided free diagnostic services as well as medicines. They also conduct healthcare awareness drives, so the communities develop the practice of preventive care.
 
 
 
 Mother Nutricare Program
 
 
 
 Expecting mothers coming to MHF from abject poverty are covered in this program, whereby they provide them with eggs, milk and essential vitamin supplements two times a week. This nutrition ensures that these women deliver healthy babies while maintaining good health themselves.
 
 
 
 Vaccination under EPI 
 
 
 
 Under this Expanded Program for Immunization, which is run by the government at MHF hospitals, children from ages 0-5 years are vaccinated free of cost against 7 deadly diseases as categorized by the World Health Organization.
 
 
 
 Starter Kits for newborns
 
 
 
 All babies born at MHF hospitals are provided Starter Kits, which contain clothing, wrapping sheet and other newborn essentials. The idea behind this program is that all babies should have a comfortable and protected start to life.
 
 
 
 Zargali Program
 
 
 
 For young girls in Badami Bagh and Shadbagh Lahore, MHF run a stitching school called Zargali (translated as Lane to Prosperity). Here, they are taught the art of stitching and embroidery from a professional instructor. After learning this skill, the girls acquire the ability to be economically productive and make their lives better.

Improving access to radiotheranostics for cancer patients in the US 
 
 THE CARY M. ADAMS FUND Recent research and developments have shown the promising outcomes regarding the use of radiotheranostics in the cancer care landscape, with some approved products*   already on the market and others in early-stage development or clinical trials. However, availability of these treatments, education and awareness of the potential use of such therapies is still very limited. Considering these opportunities and challenges, it is in this context that the Oncidium foundation, together with Cary's wife and daughters , have  decided to open the "Cary M. Adams Fund", in honor of their late husband and father , Mr. Cary M. Adams, a firm believer in the potential of radiotheranostics-based treatments for cancer care, to support cancer patients access to radiotheranostics in the US. * In the US, 177-Lutetium vipivotide tetraxetan was approved on March 2022, by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adult patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). CARY M. ADAMS September 5, 1948 - September 9, 2022 Cary was an attorney & investor with an entrepreneurial spirit, a passion for innovation, and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Despite his many professional pursuits, Cary's family and community always came first.  In Cary's final years, he became both an advocate for & participant in research of radiotheranostic cancer treatments. THE ONCIDIUM FOUNDATION The Oncidium foundation is a non-profit, public benefit organization that aims to support and accelerate the development of radiotheranostics for cancer care, worldwide.

Since 1979, Childhood Cancer Foundation South Africa, CHOC has responded to the needs and rights of children and teens with cancer or a life-threatening blood disorder, and their families; improving early detection and facilitating effective treatment.  CHOC impacts on 3000+ beneficiaries annually from diagnosis to remission or sadly end of life care through its Comprehensive Child and Family Support Program.  Our programme augments the medical treatment provided by paediatric oncology units enabling beneficiaries to access and adhere to their 7 month up to 3 year treatment journey through: - Free accommodation at our 13 child friendly houses including daily meals, laundry and return transportation to the hospital.  - Transportation financial assistance from the community home to the paediatric oncology unit and return ensuring beneficiaries do not abandon treatment. - Bereavement financial assistance to families on the loss of their child to cancer. - Psychosocial and emotional support through a team of 13 Social Workers and Social Auxiliary Workers based in the paediatric oncology ward holding the hand of beneficiaries from diagnosis to remission or end of life.  - Early detection programmes  and its referral pathways so as to increase the survival rates of children.  - Advocacy and alliances as CHOC serves as the anchor organisation for Childhood Cancer International contributing towards best practice implementation for partner civil society organisations in Africa in addition to lobbying for beneficiary human rights. - Our SOLID programme provides a platform encouraging a positive quality of life in addition to serving as ambassador sharing knowledge and experience to support and strengthen childhood cancer survivors  You, our valued well wisher have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children from low-income households across South Africa and Sub Saharan Africa, giving hope of a future for many children like Imi* below: My name is Nokuthula*, a mother to Imi* whom is 8 years old. We are from Centane in the Eastern Cape. In 2018; a small lump grew on the left side of her neck and the lump was getting harder even Imi* skin tone was getting darker. We quickly sent her to Tafalofefe hospital where she was seen by Doctors and they put her on TB medication for a month. We noticed that the medication she was taking during  treatment just made the lump grow  bigger. We returned to the hospital transferred to Frere hospital in July 2020. On arrival, different tests were done and blood taken.  We then went home to wait for results. During this time the lump continued to grow.  I felt helpless. We were shocked when the Doctor told us that my child has cancer in the chest and intestines. I don't want to lie; the news shocked us that as parents we only returned this year on 7th of February 2022 because of  Covid 19 challenges and financial issues. We were told my daughter would receive Chemotherapy for 4 months and together with 17 days radiation. Immediately when she received chemotherapy the lump disappeared. The Doctor with the Social Worker explained that my daughter will receive treatment for a year and they will monitor her progress. We were further informed that we would stay at the CHOC house for the duration of the 17 days whilst receiving radiation.  We arrived at CHOC, a big house with toys for kids and big sleeping rooms. I was so happy to see other mothers. We got everything for free, from food and warm water to importantly peace of mind and freedom. It was nothing like the hospital. We are still at the CHOC House attending 15 minutes of radiation in a day. We are very happy; we have 5 days left until we have an update on my daughter's cancer. Your support will gift hope for Imi* and Nokuthul* during very difficult times.  For more information visit our website to learn more:  https://choc.org.za/

Felix500 is an annual cycling event in which participants are challenged to cycle 500 km in 8 days as a team for a good cause. Felix500 supports innovative projects in informal care and palliative care for children. By cycling together every year, we want to make a difference in the name of Felix for his fellow sufferers and the organizations that assist them. Krabbe's disease happened to Felix and us, his parents. And that is so much more than unfair. We've armed ourselves with the realization that you need to make the most of what's in your hands. We were supported by the most special organizations and their caregivers. They gave us oxygen. They took care of us. They gave us peace. And above all: they went to extremes for us. And further. By cycling together every year, we want to continue to make a difference in the name of Felix for his fellow sufferers and the organizations that assist them. The operation of our non-profit organization is twofold: 
 We aim for a structural impact for care teams and informal carers who assist palliative and seriously ill children. We use our resources to research the palliative care pathway for children. 
 
 We cycle every year for a specific project that is directly supported with the money raised.

Empower Africans through sustainable access to sight

Every minute, one child goes blind. OPC is fighting to make that fact obsolete. Organization for the Prevention of Blindness (Organisation pour pour la Prévention de la Cécité in French), or OPC,  empowers Francophone Africans through sustainable access to sight . Created in 1978 by dedicated health professionals and philanthropists, OPC builds from four decades of expertise to fight eye diseases and Neglected Tropical Diseases, provide comprehensive eye care, train ophthalmologists and ophthalmic nurses and share best eye care practices.  OPC develops programs in collaboration with partner countries and their Ministries of Health, which have ownership of all programs and are responsible for implementation. #FORESIGHT – a new OPC opportunity Building from OPC's belief that no child should be left behind, especially when a simple eye exam and a pair of glasses are the solution, OPC launched #FORESIGHT in 2019. #FORESIGHT is an unique investment opportunity to deliver comprehensive eye care and change the lives of school children and their teachers in some of the world's most neglected communities . OPC implements sustainable school eye health projects in 17 FORESIGHT countries with Ministries of Health & Education and local and international NGO partners. When children complete school, they enter their communities as better equipped adults.

The support of the arts in the pursuit of good mental health.

Engaging creativity for good mental health. 
 
 We are an endowment fund that supports organisations involved in the treatment of psychological and neurocognitive disorders. We encourage the support of the arts in the pursuit of good mental health.   Whether they are autistic, schizophrenic, bipolar, depressive, paranoid, or living with Down's syndrome, people's hopes and dreams are the same as our own, i.e., to have friends and hobbies, to be appreciated for their talents, to learn a job, and to be a full member of society Numerous organisations already exist that are trying to respond to these hopes, and they are doing a remarkable job. Our goal, is to offer financial aid, and to productively collaborate with existing groups in the quest for new ideas and knowledge. The arts are one of our principal areas of activity. We believe that an individual actively engaging in creativity benefits enormously when exposed to art and this many prove a great antidote to inner solitude. www.entreprendrepouraider.org A performance of the comic opera 'The Lovers in Seville' during the 'Festival du Futur Composé 2012', with actress Lorie Baghdassarian, 'La Armenia', and some of the singers from the AL choir of young autists and their caregivers, conducted by Catherine Boni.

For 70 years it has been developing an approach to oncology which remains faithful to its founder's values: innovation, dynamism, cooperation and benevolence. All of this is built on the three guiding principles: patient care, research and teaching.    The Institute has expertise in the management of rare cancers and complex tumours. It treats all cancers at every stage of life. It offers its patients individualised care combining innovation and a humane approach. The treatment is important but so is quality of life, physical, psychological and social. Gustave Roussy is a hospital for specialist referral of complex cases and rare tumours. It can bring to bear skills in medical oncology, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, interventional radiology and reconstructive surgery.  Because of its commitment to teaching, Gustave Roussy remains in touch with and even anticipates advances in the discipline and so can predict the development of new specialties.

Fighting childhood cancer through recycling 
 
 Banco de Tapitas began as a movement of young Mexicans, students and professionals, with the intention of Supporting the Fight Against Childhood Cancer through Recycling.  Banco de Tapitas seeks to provide comprehensive support to more than 1,000 children and young people in Mexico who have been diagnosed with cancer through recycling campaigns nationwide. Under the motto "If life gives you caps, don't throw them away!", in April 2016 we launched our first campaign on Facebook, which reached more than 2.5 million views worldwide, this being the moment to promotion of this project. Throughout its history, Banco de Tapitas has managed to serve more than 1,000 patients directly and just over 2,200 indirectly through its allies, achieving recognition from the Ministry of Well-being and the Líderes del Bajío program in the social sector.  The goal for this year is to deliver more than 6 million pesos in support to our patients financed by recycling programs, deliver more than 200 oncological wigs, operate 4 shelters and deliver 1 state-of-the-art device to hospitals and oncological areas most in need in our country. We will also begin formal operations in the United States. Visit our website for more info:  https://www.bancodetapitas.org/

High-quality and patient-centric network of Primary Healthcare Centres

In India, every year, 1 in 20 people (~60 million Indians) fall into a cycle of impoverishment because of a health shock. Health shocks, defined as unpredictable illnesses that diminish health status have a two-fold impact on one’s financial status through both the payments for medical treatment and the income loss from an inability to work. This forces many in India to adopt sub-optimal strategies of coping with this unprecedented financial burden, especially in the absence of a strong and well implemented public health insurance policy leading to a high proportion of out of pocket expenditure on health (65-80%). These include forgoing income, using savings, informal borrowing, using loans or mortgages, and selling assets and livestock. If a household head falls ill, family members previously not working may begin to do so to substitute for lost income and repay loans, sometimes dropping out of schools and higher educational institutes. This leads to a magnified negative impact of a health event as it feeds effectively into other forms of inequity.
 
 
 
 Based on a pilot that we ran with the International Labour Organization in rural Maharashtra, we observed that high quality primary care can reduce the incidence of such health shocks by half. While availability of qualified physicians is a key barrier in rural India, lack of quality and measures of accountability of providers is a problem both in urban and rural India. This results in wrong incentives for providers, unnecessary referral and subsequently delayed care for basic primary health care diseases. This is why we have spent the last 10 years building a network of ‘one-stop-shop’ primary healthcare centres that provide patient-centric, high-quality and accountable care at half the market rates. These medical centers provide general, dental and lab facilities to low income communities residing in Mumbai’s slums.
 
 
 
 In the last 10-years, we have been successful in creating the most innovative solutions based on a holistic set of values to support our communities in living a healthy life. Through (1) introduction of different types of warranties for dental procedures, general procedures, timeliness of reports, and for patients suffering from chronic conditions (2) a subscription model to raise affordability further and (3) a rigorous system of quality control through audits and collection of patient feedback, we have been able to reduce out-of-pocket expenditure and re-institutionalize trust and balance in the relationship between a medical service provider and a patient, challenging status quo.
 
 
 
 To measure the quality and impact of this network, we have in place a robust and transparent system. A strong data driven foundation and an independent quality monitoring team are two key elements of this system. We focus highly on metrics essential to measure impact of any health intervention and they lie in the three fields of health status, reduction of financial risk and patient satisfaction, according to a globally designed health systems framework. In a healthcare industry focused on measuring volumes and utilization, we believe that measuring patient satisfaction and patient recovery holds us accountable to our core values – those of striving for excellence and serving with empathy.

An organization supporting the Karen people living in Mae Hong Son, Thailand.

The Karen Hilltribes Trust (KHT) is a community-led organization that has been working with marginalized Karen communities in Northern Thailand for the past three decades.
 
 
 
 The Karen are the largest ethnic minority group in Thailand, with an estimated population of 549,400. As mostly subsistence farmers, growing rice, vegetables and raising animals to support their families, life is difficult. KHT’s research has found that on average, families earn just $810 each year, whilst most communities do not have access to safe water and sanitation, healthcare, or education.
 
 
 
 Vision
 
 
 
 A secure future for the Karen communities of Northern Thailand.
 
 
 
 Our Mission
 
 
 
 To partner with Karen communities to improve their health, livelihoods, and access to education.
 
 
 
 What They Do
 
 
 
 By taking a holistic approach to the complex issues at hand, KHT aims to achieve sustainable change by empowering communities to improve their own lives. Since 1986, KHT has:
 
 
 
   transformed health and well-being for over 55,643 people through providing clean drinking water, improved sanitation facilities and hygiene education.
 
   allowed 18,901 farmers to secure agriculture as a sustainable livelihood through the construction of flood-resistant irrigation systems.
 
   increased access to education for 17,693 children and young adults through the provision of school meals, transport and accommodation, and higher education scholarships.
 
 
 
 Current Needs
 
 
 
 Since March 2020, KHT has continued to provide vital support to communities who have lost jobs or been unable to attend education because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The projects have also been tailored to include vital COVID-19, handwashing, and general hygiene education, to ensure communities understand how to protect themselves. However, KHT is now in urgent need of your support to continue implementing these vital projects, in particular, its:
 
 
 
   Irrigation Project – the project strengthens agriculture as a sustainable livelihood for farmers through the construction of flood-resistant irrigation systems.
 
   Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Project – the project transforms community health through improving sanitation, hygiene, and access to safe water.
 
 
 
 These projects ensure communities can improve food security, income generation, and health and well-being, all of which are of the upmost importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. By donating to KHT today, you will be a part of empowering Karen people across Northern Thailand to improve their own lives.

Support research worldwide on rare and orphan diseases

Develop research on rare and orphan diseases worldwide 
 
 Rare diseases affect 6% to 8% of the world population and approximately 500,000 people in Switzerland. The majority of these conditions affect children and in three out of four cases have a fatal outcome. The quest for specific drugs is a priority, especially as the effectiveness of certain rare disease drugs has been demonstrated in the treatment of most common diseases. The BLACKSWAN Foundation was established in Switzerland in 2010 to contribute to the development of research on rare and orphan diseases worldwide. The Foundation supports research on all different types of rare and orphan disease, which makes its vision unique and helps in finding new solutions that can assist a large variety of projects. Besides its funding research mission, the Foundation organizes every two years the  RE(ACT) Congress , which became an international reference point for rare disease experts. In five editions, more than 1,500 scientists were able to establish approximately fifty collaborations. Since 2015, BLACKSWAN Foundation has also started an international advocacy and awareness campaign called #RAREvolution to ensure rare diseases are recognized as an international public health and research priority.

Empowering communities to champion their own growth and development 
 
 The One Economy Foundation (ONE) is a social welfare organization founded by H.E Mrs. Monica Geingos, the First Lady of the Republic of Namibia in 2016. The Foundation's heartbeat is to provide a bridge of opportunities between the first and second economy, through evidence-based interventions. Namibia, like many other countries, has a dual economy: the first economy consists of middle and high-income earners, and the second economy is made up of low-income earning persons.  The One Economy Foundation serves as a bridge of socioeconomic opportunity, building an economy in which equality and shared prosperity thrive.  In order to meaningfully address structural poverty and unsustainably high levels of income and wealth inequality, it is critical that we build a bridge of opportunity, facilitating more Namibians to enter and/or elevate their participation in the first economy.  ONE's goals Work to transform mindsets and empower communities in order to improve their livelihoods through evidence-based interventions; Facilitate an enabling environment for young people to break the chains that limit their potential; Serve youth from vulnerable communities, especially those who would not otherwise have fair access to quality education, health and wellness and entrepreneurial opportunities. ONE's values We ensure our programmes and interventions are informed by the lived experiences of our beneficiaries, hereby building long-lasting relationships and sustainable solutions.

AHP finds solutions to Human Resources for Health challenges in sub-Saharan Africa.

Health for Africa, powered by people. 
 
 Africa Health Placements (AHP) exists to address issues in healthcare access for the most indigent and vulnerable in Africa as a consequence of the critical skills shortages experienced in the region.  The shortage of qualified medical staff is a massive challenge in the provision of healthcare globally, with the World Health Organisation estimating that the world currently needs approximately 7.2 million more health workers. This challenge is most profound in sub-Saharan Africa which shoulders 24% of the global burden of disease, but only possesses 3% of the health workforce.  In South Africa, the shortage of medical professionals is no better than some of the worst-affected African countries. The majority of the population (84%) uses public healthcare and languishes with access to only 30% of the country's doctors. Rural South Africa is the worst hit – 43.6% of the country's population lives in these areas, but only 12% of doctors and 19% of the country's nurses work in rural health facilities.  AHP tackles these shortages through human resource solutions that draw on global best practice made relevant to the local context. As such, our mission is to help plan for, find and keep the workforce needed to deliver health for all.  We currently offers pragmatic solutions in the fields of recruitment, retention, workforce planning and culture codification. Areas of Expertise : Recruitment: We have placed over 3900 health workers in under-served areas, delivering over 24million consultations.  Retention: Over 4000 managers trained in Human Resources for Healthcare.  Workforce Planning: We have assessed over 500 facilities  Culture Strategy Consulting: We have a measurable and manageable approach to improving performance through a behavioral approach to organizational culture. Our head office is in Johannesburg, South Africa. http://ahp.org.za/ 
 
 Your donation to AHP helps improve access to healthcare for under-served communities.

American Friends of Institut Curie - Marie Curie Research and Cancer Care Center in Paris

Follow in the footsteps of Marie Curie and join the fight against cancer 
 
 A leading player in the fight against cancer, Institut Curie - Marie Curie Research and Cancer Care Center in Paris brings together an  internationally-renowned research center  (1,200 researchers from 80 countries) and an  advanced hospital group  that provides care for all types of cancer – including the rarest forms. Founded in 1909 by  Nobel laureate Marie Curie , Institut Curie is historically located in the heart of Paris, France but also in the nearby cities of Saint-Cloud and Orsay with a  cutting-edge protontherapy center .  Every day, more than 3,600 researchers, physicians, caregivers,technicians, and administrators work together to defeat cancer. Institut Curie's work is built on three essential approaches: 
 Research 
 Care 
 Preserving an transferring knowledge 
 Institut Curie's Research Center promotes interdisciplinaryresearch through 12 mixed research units.  Translational research lies at the interface between basic and clinical research, aimed at facilitating and accelerating exchanges between cognitive research and research oriented towards patients and care. OUR PROJETC : BUILDING THE FIRST CHEMICAL BIOLOGY CENTER SPECIALIZED ON CELL'S PLASTICITY IN THE WORLD Institut Curie plays a major role in international chemical biology research thanks to the work of Dr. Raphaël Rodriguez and his team and their recentground-breaking discovery on the role of iron in the metastatic dissemination. Institut Curie is building the Chemical Biology Research Center to support and build on this work by recruiting international research teams andlaunching new multidisciplinary research approaches. It is the first center in Europe specialized in addressing fundamental questions in cancer cellplasticity and its link to metastatic spread and cancer treatment. The new Chemical Biology Research Center will be co-directed by Dr. Fatima Mechta-Grigoriou, PhD and Dr. Raphaël Rodriguez, PhD. The Chemical Biology Research Center will support research to: 
 Study cancer cell activity in a biologicaland chemical level, discover new biological features underlying cancer progression 
 Identify and develop small molecules to be used for new treatment aiming to target cancer cell plasticity and block cancer cells from spreading 
 Discover new druggable targets, design new therapeutic angles and pathways to cure cancer 
 
 
 ABOUT CHEMICAL BIOLOGY 
 Chemical biology is the work in chemistry which is of biological interest and to that work in biology in which the chemical approach is used to solve biological problems.  Dr. Linus Pauling 
 Chemical biology is one of the fastest growing areas of cancer research today. This field of research has the potential to uncover the underlying causes of cancer progression and find out how to stop cancers from spreading to different parts of the body, also called metastasizing. Today, metastasis causes 90% of cancer deaths. Finding the key to block metastatic spread will have a tremendous impact on cancer survival and discovering pathways to a cure. Chemical biology uses of chemical principles and tools to solve pressing problems in biomedical research that are challenging to address using classical methods, such as those routinely used in cell biology, genetics, and biochemistry. The discipline involves chemists and biologists to work together on small molecules that have the potential to impact patient care one day if turned into drugs.

Support the Ukrainian civilian population, including refugees and Ukrainian hospitals

Charity fund with immediate focus on humanitarian aid 
 
 We invite Ukrainian and international communities to help Ukraine in these difficult times. You can help through the "Breathe" Charity Fund. "Breathe" Charity Fund was originally established to support hospitals (to help COVID-19) by the partners of Sayenko Kharenko, one of the leading Ukrainian full-service law firms, and their fellow Ukrainian businessmen.    Currently, given the situation in Ukraine, the Fund is transferring all charitable donations and humanitarian aid to support the civilian population of Ukraine, including Ukrainian hospitals that lack essentials: food, medicine, and equipment. The Fund's volunteers are Sayenko Kharenko's employees, so we control the whole process from purchase to delivery to hospitals. A RELIABLE LOCAL EXECUTION PARTNER At Charity Fund "Breathe" we control every step of humanitarian emergency responses as the resource and supply logistics is handled by Sayenko Kharenko's lawyers and other staff who work as volunteers of the Fund. A TRUSTED LEGAL ADVISOR The capacity of Sayenko Kharenko law firm, our "umbrella" company, with its more than 100 best trained lawyers, allows us advise on all legal issues related to providing humanitarian aid.  AN EXPERIENCED INTERMEDIARY As an intermediary, we bridge the gap that often exists between global charity organisations and organisations doing the work on site.

Improving access to clean water in Burkina Faso 
 
 Omigbefite is a non-profit community education and economic development society founded in 2005 in Loropeni, Burkina Faso currently seeking funds for drilled well construction to improve community access to clean water. Initially organized in 2005 as a community charity working to feed and educate orphan children, Omigbefite has expanded it's scope over the years to become a more general non-profit social and economic development society with education projects on Ebola and the toxicity of cyanide and mercury and projects in animal husbandry, gardening, mango cultivation and most recently the construction of wells and water distribution systems.  Omigbefite means: to help a brother in despair in the language of the Lopi people.  The organization plans to focus its efforts in the next few years on the construction of drilled wells and water systems in a region that receives adequate rainfall in the rainy season but suffers very limited access to clean water in the dry season. These drilled wells will provide improved water quality throughout the year.

To support Nigeria's quest for high quality education, service delivery, research and innovation in the medical sciences. 

The University of Medical Sciences (UNIMED) is training new doctors to meet the shortage of medical professionals in Nigeria, a country of 182 million people.  About 1 doctor for every 600 persons is a healthy ratio; Nigeria has about one doctor for every 4,000 people.  UNIMED is doing its part to produce medical professionals.  The mission of UNIMED is: "To provide exceptional quality and comprehensive health care and integrated education and research in all health-related sciences, to expand access to compassionate and high quality health care for under-served populations, and to lead the scientific pathway for reducing the burden of disease in our areas of operation." http://unimed.edu.ng/ The vision of the University is "to be a thriving medical and health sciences University, locally, nationally and internationally recognized for excellence and innovation in health education and research, and for its ability to translate research findings for the improvement of health in communities with high burden of disease." Our principal objective is to establish a 21st Century World-Class University of excellence in medical research, teaching and service delivery.   PAST AND FUTURE ACTIVITIES One of the major achievements of the University is the approval given to it by the NUC to begin five Academic courses; Medicine, Dentistry, Biochemistry, Physiology, and Anatomy following the visit of a Resource Verification Team from the Commission to the University in December 2015 and subsequently the approval of several other Courses in 2017. The Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) also paid an advisory visit to the University in December 2015, and was impressed with the plans being put in place to establish the Medical and Dental programs of the university. The University has since being pursuing the implementation of the specific recommendations made by the NUC and MDCN teams to strongly establish its Medical and Dental programs.

Improving the quality of life of pastoralist communities in Kenya 
 
 ABOUT US Ewang'an Nadede Advocacy Initiative (ENAI - Africa) is a community-based organization serving more than 3500 people living in Indigenous pastoral communities in Kajiado County, a remote rural region of the south rift in Kenya.  ENAI was established by Maasai community member Dr. Lanoi Parmuat to advocate for, protect, enlighten and empower Indigenous women and girls, 78% of whom the issue of female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage remains a sad reality.  Today our programs have grown to include: Education and Health Services * Anti-FGM Advocacy and Response * Food Security, Nutrition, and Livelihood Support * Natural Resource Management and Governance OUR URGENT NEED: WATER Kenya is currently facing its worst drought in 40 years.  The drought has wiped out crops, livestock, and deepened a growing hunger crisis. Acute malnutrition in children under 5 is prevalent and recent outbreaks of cholera have been reported due to lack of access to clean water. Currently, the community that ENAI supports has only one drilled well which serves 3500+ people and livestock and requires a 2–5-mile walk each day to collect water. This manually operated well serving 200 children has run dry and needs to be replaced SOLUTION: Drill 4 Water Wells (Bore Holes) 1 well = $20k Having a sustainable water solution in the community will:   Encourage  children to return to and remain in school through a school and community feeding program thereby reducing the rates of early marriage, teen pregnancy and creating a healthier community for everyone.   Enable  the pastoral community to water their animals and to plant and maintain trees, vegetable and fruit gardens. Enhance  the community's ability to respond and prevent waterborne diseases like cholera and improve general sanitation and health conditions.  
 Establish  sustainable food security practices  in line with SDG-2 (Zero hunger)    Your support is greatly appreciated. Ashe oleng - thank you! Visit our website;  http://www.enaiafrica.org/ ENAI Africa is guided by the vision of a healthy, food secure, good governance and developed pastoral community in Africa.

Create sustainable livelihoods and empower pastoral communities in Kenya 
 
 Patinaai Osim is a national non-governmental organization (NGO) founded and registered in Kenya in 2010 and started it's operations in 2019. Founded by Semerian Sankori a proud Maasai woman, she grew up seeing women disadvantaged at all societal levels. From the household level where they had no say on their rights and those of their children. at national level they were barred by their spouses from electing a leader of their choice among other rights. Where as Semerian was fortunate to attend school, many girls from her community didn't and sadly, challenges still exist. Something compelled Semerian to do something about this by being a voice and speaking against this oppression and this is why Patinaai Osim was founded. Since inception, Patinaai has made tremendous achievement, contributing significantly to national efforts aimed at eliminating discriminations against women and girls. Patinaai's vision is aligned to Kenya vision 2030 which strives for a collective aspiration for a better society by the year 2030. It further aligns to Chapter Four of the Kenya Constitution which, contains a progressive Bill of Rights which strives to guarantee the protection of minorities and marginalized groups. The organization's image as an NGO is to advocate for the protection of minorities and marginalized groups especially pastoral communities.   Patinaai has programs in  Education ,  Sexual and Reproductive health rights ,  Sustainable livelihoods  and  Environment sustainability.  By the end of 2022, Patinaai had reached out to approximately 5000 persons (including 1300 women, 700 youth and 3000 children) with comprehensive sustainable positive change related services. It is estimated that Patinaai reaches close to 7000 people with information that promotes positive behavior change towards the rights of children and women, education and elimination of harmful practices. We plan to reach double these numbers by 2025. Patinaai continues to work closely with other care provider organizations in meeting the needs of the target population in recognition of benefits of partnerships.   VISION:  To have empowered and resilient children, women and youth as change-makers in the pastoral community. MISSION : Create sustainable livelihoods and empower pastoral communities to actively engage in the improvement of their social-economic status. GOAL:  To have girls, women and youth who actively and positively contribute to their community.  Visit our website for more info:  http://www.patinaaiosim.org/
