Since August 2021, the Taliban banned education for girls above 6th grade in Afghanistan. This put a stop to school projects in the region led by Sahar. Instead of giving up on the girls of the region, we have embraced new ways of working with local teachers and organizations to improve equity for girls in Afghanistan through multiple programs in partnership with local organizations. Current programs focus on literacy, computer skills, English, women's empowerment, sewing, and coding! Education is a fundamental right that should be accessible to everyone, regardless of gender. However, in Afghanistan, women and girls have faced numerous educational challenges. Helping to educate women and girls in Afghanistan is a matter of equal rights and a critical step toward building a brighter and more inclusive future for the country. Investing in girls' education can empower them to become leaders, change-makers, and community contributors. Providing educational opportunities to Afghan women and girls can also have a ripple effect, as educated women are more likely to marry later, have healthier families, and be active participants in the workforce. Furthermore, education can play a crucial role in breaking the cycle of poverty by equipping women with the skills and knowledge needed to secure better job opportunities. Our moral duty is to support organizations and initiatives working tirelessly to educate women and girls in Afghanistan as they strive to overcome societal obstacles and create a more equitable society. Together, we can help create a world where all individuals have the opportunity to reach their full potential and contribute to the betterment of their communities.

The campaign is aimed at lonely elderly and seriously ill individuals who are in need of shelter and support. We believe that in addition to financial assistance to meet their basic needs, they also require attention, care, and a touch of kindness. "The Gift of Hope" is an annual campaign with activities including: - Purchasing medicines, consumables, food, clothing, and other essentials. - Providing assistance with institutions such as social services, municipality, hospitals, and others. - Assisting in realizing various rights of individuals - legal, social, medical, etc. - Monthly personal visits to their homes. - Maintaining constant contact to build a genuine and personal connection. - Locating individuals who are significant to the elderly. - Upon request from the elderly individuals, providing assistance in finding accommodation in social institutions. - When needed, hiring personnel for hourly service - assistance with personal and household hygiene.

The Small Group Home for young children in Lyulin (Sofia, Bulgaria) was established as part of a project by a non-governmental organization in collaboration with Sofia Municipality. It comprises an apartment where children ranging from 5 to 12 years old are accommodated. All of them have some form of illness or mild disability, and their families are facing difficult socio-economic circumstances, making it challenging for them to provide adequate care. The children are looked after by a social worker and women who are with them around the clock. These children have now grown older. The oldest girl is 19 years old and attends high school, while the others are teenagers. The only boy among them, the brother of the 19-year-old girl, is 9 years old. Presently, three girls and three teenagers reside in the Lyulin apartment. They attend school and participate in a therapeutic workshop at the "Hedgehogs" Center, which is also overseen by our organization. Through donations, we provide them with opportunities for vacation and variety - every summer, they have the chance to visit the sea and the mountains. The sea, in particular, is their most cherished destination. These young individuals possess diverse interests, and it is our responsibility to offer them extracurricular activities that they find enjoyable, activities that will contribute to their personal growth and well-being. Thus far, we have identified several fitting activities that align with their interests, such as drumming in the Rhythm Workshop, dancing, swimming, soccer, theater, and more. To facilitate these activities, we require funds to cover participation costs, as well as expenses for transportation and an accompanying staff member. Within the Center, there is a woman who cannot leave due to her responsibilities in meal preparation, cleaning, and ensuring the children's attendance at school. An African proverb aptly characterizes our situation: "It takes a village to raise a child"! Through your support, we aim to provide our teenagers with their preferred sports and activities, enabling them to develop their skills, fulfill their potential, and experience well-being and happiness. Financial Goal: $4,000 USD (for one year, covering sports and engaging activities for leisure time for 6 children).

The purpose of this fund is to continue providing professional care and support for 10 children and youths with severe disabilities. We have attracted to our side the best kinesiotherapist (Rada) in the city of Ruse, Bulgaria with enormous experience. She is a teacher at the University of Ruse and has known some of our young people for 15 years. We would like to ensure her support and care for our children and youths with severe disabilities for another 12 months (for 2 years we received donations for her, as the municipality/state do not ensure her work). This is not just a fad. This is an opportunity to observe the children in their everyday life, in their usual environment. In this way, the postures that are most favorable for them are discovered, and the movements that are possible for them, as well as those that they can be encouraged to do, are outlined. An example of Rada's work is with Miss Violetta - The condition at the beginning of rehabilitation a year ago was difficult. Violeta has severe thoracic kyphosis, frequent nervousness, and insomnia. Standing up made her nervous; she couldn't walk, and she had a panicky fear of being in a different position. Now she fully cooperates during the rehabilitation activities: she can walk, sit independently and safely. She likes physical activity, it calms her down and brings her happiness, which can be read in her expression. We can say that she is making huge progress in her development – she plays fit-ball and likes to push a wheelchair, and during these exercises, she receives instructions that she understands. The results that are achieved are exceptional, not because we make miracles at the center, but because the real existing opportunities for the development of each child are used professionally. Through your support, we will continue to provide professional care for children and youths with disabilities so that they can develop their skills and reach their full potential, feel good, and be happy. Financial goal: 7000 USD (1000 BGN per month or 12 mounts professional support)

Knowledge is power. Culture and tradition are sustained by the backbone of transcendental knowledge which helps us to understand the purpose behind the way of life. Without knowledge, people can be easily swayed away from their cultural roots. Our villages in India are currently being attacked by different ideologies which are trying to move them away from the culture of Sanatana Dharma. By going village to village, placing these transcendental books, teaching them our Vedic scriptures, we can preserve Sanatana dharma and protect our Vedic Culture. Please help us to raise fund for this noble cause & If you would like to personally get involved please fill this short form to help with this mission to save the world - https://forms.gle/A4hZwJnby2xA7nhh6

The war in Congo has had devastating consequences, leaving countless children orphaned and without the support and care of their parents. In the face of such tragedy, we must come together to assist and support these vulnerable children. By contributing to this fund, we can directly impact the lives of these children, giving them a chance at a brighter future. Also, spreading awareness about the situation in Congo and advocating for international support can make a significant difference. We must remember that every child deserves love, care, and a chance to thrive, regardless of the circumstances they were born into. Let us join forces to bring hope and healing to the orphans in Congo, helping them rebuild their lives and providing them with the opportunities they deserve.

Meet Nikola Tsolov, the 16 years old Bulgarian racing star on his challenging journey to Formula 1. He started his karting career in 2016 and became champion of Bulgaria in 2016 and 2017. In 2019, he won the Italian WSK Open Cup against 60 racers. He was invited by Fernando Alonso to drive alongside him in the 24h Endurance race in Dubai in 2021, where they finished third. Supported by Fernando Alonso, Nikola joined A14 Management and the Alpine Drivers Development Program, who grow and develop racers for the Alpine Formula 1 team. In 2021, his first year in F4, Nikola became Spanish F4 Champion with most wins, poles and fastest laps. This paved his way to FIA Formula 3, where he became the youngest driver on the grid and competed in 2023, driving for the ART team. Formula 3 races are held together with Formula 1 races and Nikola proudly wears his Bulgarian flag–painted helmet in the paddock and on the track, and hopefully on the podium too! But here’s the challenge: motorsport is expensive and Nikola needs to raise funds to pay for his participation in the Formula 3 season in 2024. The money are needed to: • Pay the team for the seat in the car • Equipment and safety gear • Training and practice sessions • Fees and costs for every race Nikola’s career and journey is funded by his family, who put their money, effort and time behind him and look for various sponsors. Sponsors contribute a significant amount already, yet, more is needed to secure Nikola’s place on the Formula 3 grid in 2024. To continue the fairytale and to help Nikola represent and promote Bulgaria on the highest levels of motorsports, we are raising 50,000 Euro. Donate to the campaign and root for the Bulgarian Lion in the 2024 races, knowing you helped this!

Dear VMware friends: In the wake of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic, many innocent children have lost their parents, their lives forever altered, and they now bear scars that no child should ever have to endure. There are so many heartbreaking stories that I personally witnessed in Vietnam: - A 5-year-old boy lost both of his parents while in the isolation camp. - A middle-school student lost his only mother. His relative told me that at night he still quietly talks to the image of his late mother ...and many, many more stories that I can not even write down without holding back the tears. We can never understand the pain they carry. I sometimes look at their pictures just to remind myself how blessed and fortunate we are. We have identified a few orphanages or charities that offer accommodation and educational opportunities for these orphans. For example, this initiative here: https://www.facebook.com/truonghyvonghopeschool We can do more to help. Your generous contributions can make a profound difference in the lives of these orphans. Your donations will provide them with the means to survive, access to education, and most importantly, hope. From the bottom of my heart - thank you for being the beacon of hope these children so desperately need! Please state in your donation "Support for Orphans". I will personally ensure that our contribution is received by the school. All donations will be sent to VietBay Inc., a 501©(3) non-profit organization formed by a group of Vietnamese professionals in the San Francisco Bay Area to receive and distribute fund to charity in Vietnam. All US donations are tax deductible.

Khule charity foundation need a school bus to provide safe and reliable transportation to Ugandan kids attending school. In order for the bus to operate, transportation cost must be met to cover fuel, labor and maintenance.

The potential long term impact of your support would be powerful because education is the key to help Ugandan community build a better and more sustainable way of life.

Seventy-one million people lack access to clean water. That’s 1 in 10 people on the planet. Women and girls spend an estimated 200 million hours carrying water every day. The average woman in rural Africa walks 6 kilometers (about 3.7 miles) daily to haul 40 pounds of water. Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene is a crucial aspect of ensuring the well-being and development of communities worldwide. Access to clean water is a fundamental human right, yet millions still lack access to safe drinking water sources. You can help families in need get access to clean water as a supporter of World Vision. We aim to establish lasting access to clean water for 10 million people. The future is even more ambitious — but achievable with your help
