Healthy Child Healthy World

Founded in 1991, Healthy Child Healthy World (formerly the Children's Health Environmental Coalition) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the health and well-being of children from harmful environmental exposures. We educate parents and caregivers, support protective policies, and engage households and communities by providing access to critical information that encourages smarter lifestyle choices to reduce toxic chemicals exposure. Our programs and initiatives are centered around expanding awareness of environmental hazards to children's health; helping the public learn about healthier practices, solutions, and products in the marketplace; creating standards and policies for safer products, foods, materials, and chemicals used in the home; and advocating for and supporting corporate policies and governmental legislation that protect children from environmental risks. Our vision is a world where every child has the opportunity to grow up in a healthy and safe environment.

Grains Of Good Foundation

Grains of Good Foundation is a 501(c)(3) based in California, USA. Grains of Good was created with the goal of helping a vulnerable group of children: special-needs children with neurodevelopmental disorders from low-income families or orphanages in Russia and former Soviet republics. The funds mostly go towards palliative care, rehabilitation programs, and adaptive technology products and equipment. There are children with neurological disorders in every country of the world. All they need to flourish and to have a normal childhood is a bit of extra support - medical, educational, moral, financial. In Russia and the former Soviet republics, such kids often lack such support. They live in a society that is largely unable or unwilling to accept - let alone help - them, in a system that does not have the resources to support them. Some extra services or treatments might be available, but the parents don't have the money to pay for them - they can't earn it while their children are at home, with no childcare centers or schools available for them.

People's Community Clinic

People's is one of the oldest, continuously running independent primary care clinics in the country. Established in 1970 by a group of volunteer doctors and nurses, People's has never wavered from its mission to improve the health of medically underserved and uninsured Central Texans by providing high quality, affordable health care with respect and dignity. Most People's patients are from working families not able to afford healthcare insurance premiums and whose employers do not offer healthcare insurance coverage. There are approximately 280,000 uninsured adults and children (1 in 4) in the Austin metropolitan area. People's serves as the medical home for over 11,000 patients in our community. Uninsured people have few health care options other than the emergency room. People's provides continuity of care that an Emergency Room simply is not designed to offer on a sliding scale basis according to patients' income.
