Safer Foundation, a nonprofit social impact organization based in Chicago, Illinois, was founded in 1972. Its mission is to reduce recidivism by supporting, though a full spectrum of services, and advocacy, the efforts of people with arrest and conviction records to become employed, law-abiding members of the community. If people with records are provided with direct service support focused on job preparedness and placement, and are also linked to other critical supportive services their reentry challenges will be addressed and, as a result, their likelihood to recidivate (return to prison) will be reduced. Safer's evidence-based programs are geared toward addressing barriers that impede employment and providing services that support clients' abilities to successfully acclimate into society.

Our mission is to bring people and resources together to meet the needs of the underserved in our community, specifically the homeless, houseless and those in the risk of becoming so in Silicon Valley. Our vision is for every person in the Silicon Valley to have access to the tools and resources they need to become self-sufficient and live healthy, fulfilling lives. Our story A few years ago, Tim and Serena Muindi decided to ask a few family and friends to help them pack sack lunches and bring them to a homeless encampment near their home in San Jose. They, like most in the Silicon Valley, were keenly aware of the growing homeless epidemic in the area, seeing panhandlers at most intersections and encampments scattered about town. The issue seemed overwhelming, but they were compelled to do something. So, they started with a basic need: nutritional food. This first act of service was impactful, to both those receiving and those serving. Tim & Serena committed to continue to deliver meals regularly and invited more friends to help. With more people helping and donating, they were able to pack and deliver hygiene kits in addition to meals. One of their friends suggested that they network online and invite other people in the community to participate, so they joined a Meet Up group. The response was overwhelming and soon each volunteer event was fully booked. It became clear to Tim and Serena that they had found a calling. There were so many in need in their community, and so many wanting to help. The Muindi Foundation grew out of this realization in order to be a conduit for service. The foundation seeks to expand and multiply the impact of coordinated acts of kindness in order to address challenging issues in society.

The Taraloka Foundation creates opportunities for Himalayan girls by providing education, healthcare, and a safe refuge. We strive to do the best we can for a small group of girls in the Himalayan region of Sikkim. We rescue girls from difficult circumstances and support all of their needs until they graduate from college. As soon as one of our girls enters college, we have room to bring another girl into the Sikkim Happiness Home, their safe refuge. Many have lost their parents and have no safety net. Some of our girls have a parent or a relative, but for a variety of reasons they need the safe refuge of the Sikkim Happiness Home. Regardless of the circumstance, our girls enjoy a life together as sisters. We help them cross over from a life of suffering to a life full of joy and potential.

The Amala Foundation inspires the diverse youth of the world to live in unity, serve compassionately and lead peacefully. All of our youth programs are a place for empowerment and healing. Many of the youth we serve, including refugee and immigrant children, have experienced extreme poverty, child labor, gang violence, abuse and neglect; many have witnessed the atrocities of war and have literally run for their lives; many have been uprooted from their native cultures and struggle to integrate into an entirely foreign world. We provide a safe space for these youth to heal, express themselves, share their stories and connect with a loving and supportive community. The Amala Foundation is involved in a number of local, national, and international humanitarian service projects. Camp Indigo was started in 2002 and is now in its 13th year of offering a week-long day camp experience to Austin area children ages 4-12. Camp Mana, now in its eighth year, offers a similar experience over two days in Hawaii. Our One Village Project, including the Global Youth Peace Summit, is in its 7th year and serves more than 150 local, immigrant, international and refugee youth each year. Our Young Artists in Service program provides free art instruction to at-risk children in addition to creating inspiring murals at places like the Austin Children’s Shelter. The Gui Village Living Water Program was a humanitarian service project we successfully completed in 2005, installing two water wells in a Nigerian village, saving 3,500 people (including 2,000 children) from disease. Our partnership with the Bhatti Mines School in Delhi, India helps ensure 200 Indian children a day are receiving an education instead of being forced into child labor.
