Access to health care and quality education are necessary means to alleviate the burdens of poverty. The primary focus of Equal As One is to provide initial assistance to poverty-stricken communities to setup healthcare centers and schools, then help these communities organize to sustain these institutions themselves. Equal As One embraces interdependence as a fundamental philosophy of life; no matter how absolute, separate or self-sufficient, people or aspects of life may seem, everything and everyone depends on something else. This philosophy inspires us to view every human being as equal, and as kin. They need each other. This will be the philosophy they hope to promote as we bring community members together to build sustainable and enduring institutions that add value to their lives.

Together in Hope's mission is to empower lives and communities globally. We envision a world where all children have enough to eat, can go to school, have access to quality health care, and where all parents can find jobs and provide for their families. Together in Hope believes that if we all work together, in hope, each doing what we can, we can make that vision a reality and give those living in poverty a future with hope. We work with some of the world’s poorest communities in the Philippines, El Salvador and Ethiopia. These are communities unreached by international development organizations. We work with these communities to help them break the cycle of poverty and give them a future with hope. Our model hinges on the perspective that to empower a community living in poverty, the community must be involved in every step of the program and that they must own the project. Together in Hope does not walk into a community and create change; we wait to be invited by local community leaders to work with the community toward empowerment. The community is the main decision maker and they decide the programs they need to become self sustainable. Together in Hope comes alongside that effort and works with the local community to implement these programs. Our main goal is to empower poor communities and to leave as little foot print as possible. This model is built upon shared leadership amongst the community. The local community plays an active role in the project identification, planning, implementation, and monitoring. As a community grows and develops, Together in Hope is there to assist with educational and nutritional support, job and livelihood training, and health care support. By empowering communities to self-define and self-actualize, Together in Hope seeks to break the cycle of poverty, giving community members and families a future with hope.

The Holy Woman Foundation was founded to raise funds for needy Jewish children in Jerusalem. Currently, our foundation provides hot lunches and enrichment programming for little girls, aged 6-14, enrolled in Ohr Batya in the Vucharian section of Jerusalem. All of our girls come from dysfunctional and impoverished homes. The school is for "throw-away" girls who would not be accepted elsewhere because of their unstable family backgrounds (mother mentally ill, father in jail, father has abandoned family, etc.). The school day ends at 1 pm, and then the girls go home to. . . . . nothing. Rebbetzin Esther Ben Chaim (see chapter 13 of the bestseller, Holy Woman), the principal of the school, has been able to start an afternoon program since receiving funds from the Holy Woman Foundation. This program gives the girls a hot lunch (their only protein meal of the day‚ and for many their only meal of the day), plus art, music, computer science, field trips, big sisters, tutoring and psychotherapy when needed. None of these things are provided by the government curriculum. Rebbetzin Chaya Sara Kramer, the Holy Woman, blessed this school. The Holy Woman Foundation, created in her memory, seeks to perpetuate the devoted caring for needy Jewish children to which she dedicated her life.

OBAT Helpers works for the welfare, support, and rehabilitation of displaced and stateless people by providing programs to alleviate the daily suffering and burdens of thousands of Urdu speaking people (known as "Biharis") who are stranded in makeshift camps in Bangladesh. OBAT Helpers implements projects in education and vocational training, self- empowerment through micro-financing, health care with clinics, drinking water, proper sewerage, and emergency relief projects. The Biharis have been stranded in Bangladesh since it achieved independence from Pakistan in 1971. Referred to as, astranded Pakistanis,a this community was supposed to be repatriated to Pakistan after the two countries separated but most of them could not due to political complications. They are presently citizens of nowhere, unclaimed by either country and marked by the UNHCR as refugees, yet deprived of the rights of refugees. They still live in the camps/slums that were supposed to serve as their temporary shelter forty years ago. This population is scattered across sixty-six camps which house around 300,000 people. Anyone visiting these camps would see a family of 7-10 people sharing a living space of 8x10 ft.; open sewers and overflowing drains; a single toilet or two for one hundred or so people; innocent six or seven year olds who should be in schools, working for a living; high-infant mortality rates due to absence of medical facilities; lack of clean drinking water; terrible or no sanitation facilities and nothing but abject poverty. OBAT Helpers is the only organization in North America which is committed to helping the Biharis to become self-reliant and empowered through proper education, health care and micro financing projects. OBAT started with providing help to one camp in 2004, and now, it is improving the lives of people in more than 30 out of the total 66 camps, after just six years. This is almost half of the total number of camps in Bangladesh.
