Building Futures Thailand does just that, it builds schools and libraries for kids who have never had the luxury of such essentials that most of us take for granted. Building Futures Thailand started in the aftermath of the tsunami that ravished many parts of Thailand and other countries in that region. Founder Kris Edwards asked herself how she could help. Visiting Phuket for the first time in 2007 as the happy homes’ first volunteer (an orphanage built in the aftermath of the tsunami to house children who lost their families), Kris decided that she could do more. Along with Linda Teel and Kathy Sebuck, in 2011 Kris founded the nonprofit Building Futures Thailand, Inc. Which focused on building libraries, playgrounds and providing financial support for orphanages and severely underfunded schools in the Phuket area. By 2014 our work in Phuket was complete but rather than stop there, we looked further within Thailand and found warm heart, located in Northern Thailand. By November 2014 we had constructed Barb’s Place (a large community education center and public access computer lab serving all of Phrao) which was named in memory of Kris’ mom, a dedicated educator. Barb’s Place offers the people of Phrao a public access computer lab, internet, first rate computer literacy and english courses, critical resources and educational opportunities. Every year Building Futures Thailand sends a group of volunteers (at the volunteers expense) to work with the local staff at facilities around Thailand to either build or renovate the community learning centers used by the children and other members of these impoverished communities. Since 2014, Building Futures Thailand has aligned with Warm Heart to offer both educational and local support. It is this support that helps build and fund technology development projects such as Barb's Place.

It was the year 1978, when our founder, Anuben Thakkar, ventured into a virtually uncharted territory with nothing but divine inspiration from her Guru, Muni Maharaj. She set up a small hut at Goraj, with the noble vision to serve the local tribal communities with proper health, and education facilities.

The FEED Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds to ensure nutritious school meals for all children as a first step to improving the global food system. In partnership with FEED Projects, LLC, the FEED Foundation has provided over 50 million school meals to children in the developing world through the United Nations World Food Progam school feeding operations.

The mission of the Foundation is to provide an educationally enriched environment where children have access to advanced technology in order to facilitate their interest and passion for higher education and learning. The primary venues that the Foundation utilizes to achieve this mission are the use of media and technology; such as providing computers and Kindles equipped with eBooks, as well as establishing libraries in schools that have not had the funds to invest into reading programs and education. In addition, the Foundation will, in many instances introduce for the first time, a modern system of collection management, cataloging and classification for library management.

Second, to share our expertise and experience with the Haitian community and other organizations throughout Haiti that provide care for vulnerable and disabled children by actively supporting the development of high quality programs and services, providing technical assistance when needed, and offering support to the families of children with disabilities.

Africa Schoolhouse (ASH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing quality education, medical care, job training and clean water to rural villages in Northern Tanzania. In order to achieve these goals, ASH works in partnership with communities and the local government to build desperately needed schools, deep wells and medical clinics, creating an environment that enables residents to live full, productive and healthy lives. ASH was founded in 2006 after village elders from Ntyula, Tanzania approached founder Dr. Aimee Bessire with the idea of building a school for their children and a medical clinic for the entire community. Dr. Bessire, who has a decades long relationship with the people of Ntulya, was determined to take action. Within six months, the Africa Schoolhouse board was assembled. ASH broke ground on its first project, the Ntulya Primary School and campus, in July 2008 and completed construction in 2010. President of Tanzania, Jakaya Kikwete, personally inaugurated the new school and declared it a model for all rural schools in the country. The villagers talked about how proud they were that the President came to visit the school they had helped to build. Following the request of the Ntulya elders, the organization completed a modern medical clinic the following year, which now serves approximately 4,500 people. ASH continued working with local communities in the region to identify need and completed the renovation of Mwaniko Secondary School and Shilanona Primary School in 2012 and 2014. Improvements at these locations included building a bio-chemistry lab and the installation of the first solar-powered computer lab in Misungwi District. ASH also trained a local work-force to help with the construction and continued maintenance of these projects. ASH's newest project is to construct an all-girls boarding school-the first in Misungwi District. This exemplary school will provide space for 360 girls in Forms 1-4, with the possibility to expand the campus and add another 80 girls in Forms 5-6 as needed in later years. Currently only 1% of Tanzanian girls complete secondary school education. They face a wide range of obstacles to their education, including everything from families who privilege the education of sons over daughters, to girls being married off at young ages, and unsafe journeys to school. One of the largest issues faced by girls is finding a safe place to live while pursuing their education. In this rural area, many girls travel long distances to reach school. Safe passage to and from school is a critical issue. We want to provide a safe living situation for young women to delight in their education. ASH is partnering with Misungwi District to build a much-needed safe haven for girls, empowering them through education to grow into strong, healthy women. In addition to a standard academic curriculum, the school will also promote leadership, entrepreneurship, social justice and care for the environment. The school will create an essential safe space where young women can successfully complete their studies and grow into empowered, independent adults. As with our other projects ASH is collaborating with the local communities, school committee, and Tanzanian government. We are building this school at the request of the local community, who identified this as their greatest need. The school will be staffed and run by the District once completed. The District has selected Florencia Ndabashe to be the school's head teacher. Ndabashe currently leads a co-ed secondary school in Misungwi and brings great energy to her work. She will be a strong leader for the girls school, inspiring her fellow teachers and serving as an excellent role model for young women.
