Opportunities are growing within the Park City community for this population, however there are not enough Neurodiverse Housing options.

Chamwino Connect is a 501c3 fundraising organization that supports lifelong education in central Tanzania. We are driven by a famous saying in Swahili: “Elimu ni unfunguo wa maisha—Education is the key to life.” We believe that education can end the cycle of poverty and empower the most vulnerable. Education brings opportunity and changes lives. Through opening an early learning center, providing scholarships for higher education, and increasing the educational resources in public schools, we are enhancing the value of education provided in Chamwino. Our aim is to lay the foundation of early childhood education for children, prolong the education of youth, and continue education where it stopped short for adults.

Save the Turtles, Inc. is dedicated to protecting sea turtles in critical habitat areas by awarding grants to community-based programs, assisting with salaries for the locals who patrol the beach at night protecting nesting turtles from poachers. Our organization is small and we are all volunteers, so our donations we receive are streamlined to worthy conservation projects, mostly in Costa Rica although we have financially assisted in the rescue of sea turtles in emergency situations such as the BP oil spill in the U.S. We value the donor’s intent—the money designated to saving sea turtles--and believe in a minimal overhead/administrative cost.
