Educare DC’s mission is to eliminate the opportunity gap for young children living in poverty, and give them the skills necessary for success in kindergarten and beyond. The first Educare school was created in 2000 in Chicago’s Robert Taylor Homes public housing development. The Educare model of high-quality, research-based early childhood education has since been piloted, refined, and strengthened in communities across the country, and it has consistently demonstrated its effectiveness in improving outcomes for young children ages birth to five. Opened in July 2012 and located in DC’s Ward 7 neighborhood of Parkside-Kenilworth, Educare DC is a part of the national Educare network, which is comprised of 24 high-quality, research-based early childhood schools. We serve more than 300 children ages birth to five in our state-of-the-art early learning center and through community partnerships in Wards 7 and 8. At Educare DC, well-trained and prepared teachers work with children to develop school readiness skills, including pre-literacy, early math, and social/emotional skills. Our family engagement team focuses on parent development as a means to supporting each child. This two-generation approach enables parents to see and believe in themselves as community leaders, advocates, and the drivers of their children’s education. Our comprehensive services team monitors children’s health, development, and overall well-being and works with teachers, parents, and outside service providers to meet the needs of children who may be experiencing a health challenge, disability, or delay. While the core work of Educare DC is as a school, we also work to leverage that expertise to improve outcomes for vulnerable children not enrolled at Educare, through training programs and advocacy in the DC region.

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.
