The Cazale Community and Cultural Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering young people in Haiti to achieve their full potential. We believe that every child deserves access to high-quality education, extracurricular activities, and a safe and supportive community. Our mission is to enhance positive social interactions and build self-esteem and confidence among Haitian youth through a range of programs and services. We provide tutoring and year-round extracurricular activities at our after-school center in Cazale, which serves over 200 students in elementary and middle school every day with the help of 1 director, 1 administrator, 5 teachers, and 2 student aids. Our center is open after-school from 2 pm to 7 pm on weekdays and from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturdays, offering access to a library, English classes (ESL) , music lessons, and a range of other activities, including board games, dance, arts, computer workshops, and sports. We also provide students with access to excursions outside of Cazale. In addition, we collaborate with youth in New York to host summer camps for about 200 Haitian youth every year. This summer camp builds off the topics discussed during the after-school program, including promoting community service, health and hygiene, self-esteem, and the overall goal of loving your neighbor as yourself. We also host a yearly CCCC Genie summer contest on the radio, where contestants compete in a Jeopardy-like game and can receive prizes if they place in the top four. Our long-term goal is to expand our reach and impact by establishing community centers in as many communities as possible throughout Haiti. We envision ourselves as the "YMCA" of Haiti, providing a safe and supportive space for young people to learn, grow, and thrive.

The Colibrí Center for Human Rights is a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization with the mission to end disappearance and uphold human dignity along the U.S.-Mexico border. Colibrí works in solidarity with the families of the disappeared to find truth and justice through forensic science, investigation, and community organizing. Colibrí bears witness to this unjust loss of life, accompanying families in their search and holding space for families to build community, share stories, and raise consciousness about this human rights crisis. Through the Missing Migrant Project and DNA Program, Colibrí works with medical examiners to compare information families provide about the missing as well as DNA samples with unidentified remains recovered along the border in the hopes of giving families the answers they so deserve. Beyond the forensic work, Colibrí and impacted families build community and advocate for change through the Family Network, a network of mutual support and solidarity among families and friends of missing migrants across the Americas, and Bring them Back and Historias y Recuerdos, oral history- advocacy projects that center and amplify family voices. Colibrí began in 2006 as the Missing Migrant Project, a small volunteer initiative inside the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner designed to organize information about people who were missing on the border to help identify the hundreds of individuals being examined by the forensic scientists in that office. In 2013, the Missing Migrant Project became the Colibrí Center for Human Rights to better address the needs of families of the missing and advocate for more structural change.

Thirst Project is a nonprofit organization that works with the support of young people to END the global water crisis by building freshwater wells in developing communities that need safe, clean drinking water, vital to health and sanitation. The Thirst Project seeks to provide health and sanitation. As waterborne diseases kill more children every single year than HIV, Malaria, and all world violence combined. And small children are at significant risk, as they typically do not have strong enough immune systems to fight diseases like cholera, dysentery, or schistosomiasis. By providing a community with safe drinking water, disease rates can drop by up to 88% virtually overnight! Child mortality rates can drop up to 90%- overnight! Likewise, the time children spend collecting water keeps them from going to school and getting an education. Women and children spend on average six to eight hours each day walking to fetch water. The average distance that women and children in developing communities walk to fetch water is 3.75 miles. The Thirst Project makes clean water accessible, lowers health risks and empowers children's education.
