OUR PRINCIPLES RDT-Vicente Ferrer believes that people are the main actors in their development process and ensures their active involvement and leadership in the programs. The organization endorses a multi-sectoral approach with a view to enhancing people's overall progress. As a result, RDT addresses all major areas of development, including access to quality education, improved livelihoods, ecologyand the environment, equal opportunities for people with disabilities, women's development and empowerment, and access to healthcare. We organize, at a grassroots level, women, men, andpeople with disabilities into groups to enhance their strength, confidence, and ability to resolve their own issues and problems. An important RDT-Vicente Ferrer approach is the continuous sharing of knowledge, skills, and awareness about all aspects of life. Collaboration with the government and other NGOs to draw maximum benefits from development. To raise people's awareness and support their use of government schemes and resources. Though the organization has a special program forwomen's development, it believes that women's progress should be a factor in every area of work and life, including education, where emphasis is placed on young girls, and healthcare, for the overall well-being of women and girls. We believe in continuous training and orientation for staff members and people. We also have an HR department that regularly organizes internal and external training sessions for staff members of all levels and people on leadership, group building, problem solving, and gender-related matters, among others. To create an efficient human organization capable of acting regardless of where the need arises, even in emergencies. We believe that we must have a strong organization focused on community development, yet flexible and able to accommodate the changing needs of the people. RDT-Vicente Ferrer also stresses continuous dialogue with people and seeks to ensure its programs are useful and practical. An empathetic approach to helping individuals in severe distress due to chronic or acute illness, abandonment, or abuse of any kind.

Charity Bosnian Kids is a non-profit organisation supporting children in Bosnia who are disadvantaged by poverty. Many kids in Bosnia are disadvantaged by poverty. Children receive a daily lunch at school only if their parents pay for it. Unfortunately, many parents cannot afford to pay for the school lunch, as poverty is a huge problem in Bosnia. Many children consume at least half of their meals at school, and for many, food served at school may be the only food they regularly eat! Your donation will deliver daily lunches to those children whose parents cannot afford to pay, making sure they are not excluded from the lunch at school. With a donation of $10 you will provide a daily lunch for one child for one month. A donation of $77 covers all lunches at school for one child during the whole year. Make a difference today. 100% of your donation goes to the children, as the operational costs are covered by the founders.

Let Me Live is a South Carolina nonprofit corporation dedicated to saving babies by turning the hearts of mothers toward their children. They believe God requires us to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8). They began under the name, "Let Her Live"—intending for the reference to the baby's gender to emphasize the personhood of the unborn baby, by reminding people that every baby is a male or female human, not just a thing. For this reason they wanted to include "him" or "her," rather than "it" or "them," in their name. But the feminine pronoun has caused enough confusion among some pro-life people that in 2010 we switched to doing business primarily under the name Let Me Live.
