    A2Empowerment is a non-profit company dedicated to empowering women through education. Since its founding in 2008, the company has worked with Peace Corps Volunteers and Cameroonian mentors to award over 1,900 educational scholarships to young women in Cameroon. Recipients are chosen based on need and merit, with a priority placed on selecting girls in the later years of high school when they are at a higher risk of dropping out. Mentors arrange monthly meetings for groups of scholarship recipients to provide academic support and discuss topics related to women's empowerment. In addition, students work together to develop a project to give back to their community. Currently approximately $80 USD will cover tuition, fees and supplies for a year of school. All company overhead costs have been covered by the company co- founders and grants, so the full amount of all individual donations is put towards scholarships.

  • The mission of the African Diaspora Engaging Africa (ADEA) Initiative is to help put the significant skills, knowledge, experience and commitment of members of the African Diaspora to the development and advancement of their home continent. While many in the Diaspora desire to contribute toward Africa’s development, only a small percentage of them have necessary skills and training to launch, sustain, and scale projects that can have a real impact. The ADEA Initiative, therefore, is intended to create the structures, processes and bases of knowledge that will enable members of the African Diaspora to engage in development projects in Africa with a powerful and lasting impact.

  • CDA is an action research and advisory organization dedicated to improving the effectiveness and accountability of peacebuilding, development, and humanitarian efforts wherever communities experience conflict. For more than twenty-five years CDA has worked directly with organizations, institutions, and corporations, driven by two fundamental beliefs: 1) People belong at the center. The knowledge, perspectives, and capacities of people and communities affected by conflict are essential to positive social change and to constructive engagements by international actors. 2) Context matters. Effectiveness depends on a deep understanding of, and will to act responsibly within, complex local dynamics. Since the foundational work of Do No Harm and local capacities for peace, CDA has been a leading voice in the global movement to shift power in international decision-making closer to the people and communities most impacted. While philosophical and structural challenges have challenged the pace of change, we see this shift happening in every region and the global peace and aid systems. Yet much of the published thinking does not fully reflect who is leading, innovating, and asking the critical questions.

  • The Mission of Nurturing Minds is to provide financial and technical support to improve access to quality education and life skills for girls in Tanzania, with a particular emphasis on girls who are poor, marginalized, and at-risk of becoming involved in exploitative forms of child labor.  Currently, Nurturing Minds achieves this through the development and support of the SEGA Girls School. The purpose of the SEGA Girls Secondary School is to improve the quality of life for vulnerable Tanzanian girls.  The majority of SEGA Students were forced to drop-out of school due to extreme poverty, or were deemed at high risk of dropping out, but are bright and motivated.  They have been selected from over 20 different communities from throughout the country, half of the girls are orphans and all come from families who are too poor to pay the school fees necessary for them to enter secondary school. Due to their inability to pay for school many girls are forced to become child laborers, “house girls” or sell ice cream or fruit in the market to help support their family’s income. Thanks to SEGA these girls are now able to continue their studies. SEGA also provides girls with a single gender education, the benefits of which have been well documented and show girls’ academic performance, class participation and self-esteem all improve tremendously in this environment. In addition, girls with a secondary education have half as many children and earn four times more income than girls with a primary education alone. The school uses a holistic approach including an academic program that follows the required Tanzanian government curriculum; entrepreneurship skills development; and a comprehensive personal development, life skills and leadership program called “Education for Life”, specially designed to address the needs of economically disadvantaged girls. Part of the Education for Life program addresses sexual reproductive health, HIV AIDs awareness and family planning.  This program is designed to help girls avoid early pregnancy and early marriage, which are two of the main reasons that poor girls drop out of school.  The school also emphasizes environmental stewardship and is run completely on solar power, has a rainwater catchment system, organic gardens and an anti-ivory club. Having a strong, holistic education will help girls escape exploitation and have the communication and leadership skills to stand up for themselves.  SEGA aims to empower girls and give them the skills they need to become self-sufficient and break the cycle of poverty.  Overtime, SEGA’s goal is to improve education standards in Tanzania by becoming a model center for excellence for teaching, learning and leadership development. SEGA was recently recognized as an Ashoka Changemaker School, which recognizes the quality of our programs and positive outcomes for our students. Program Overview: Academic Program:  SEGA follows the Tanzanian national curriculum providing “ordinary level secondary education” from Form I-Form IV Entrepreneurship Program:  Students learn business planning and management skills through running their own on-campus business (a canteen and shop) and participating in school profit-making units such as poultry, feed production and hospitality. Environmental Stewardship: Students learn organic gardening which is useful not only for future food security but also helps sustain the students:  most of the school’s produce needs are met through the gardening program. The school is run completely on solar power and has a rainwater catchment system.  In addition, through on-campus clubs like the “Environment and Science Club” and the “Anti-elephant Ivory Club” the students are learning about conservation and pollution. Education for Life Program:  Students develop self-awareness, communication and leadership skills through individual counseling, classroom based learning in sexual reproductive health and community outreach activities. The diagram below depicts the program’s main elements. One key component of the Education for Life Program is career counseling, to prepare students for transition from secondary school to either continued education, employment or self-employment through business.

  • The Polus Center for Social & Economic Development, Inc. supports community-based programs that promote social and economic opportunities for people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. Founded in 1979, The Polus Center began by contributing to the development of innovative alternative service models to support people with disabilities. Our individualized shared living programs throughout Massachusetts, USA, help establish and support households where people with and without disabilities live in mutually beneficial relationships, enabling people with disabilities to live and work within the community. Because of this innovative alternative service model, many individuals who would have spent years in institutional care are now competitively employed and have homes in the communities of their choice. In 1997, the Polus Center entered into the international arena by coordinating humanitarian efforts in Central America aimed at addressing the long-term needs of people with disabilities, particularly those individuals who lost limbs due to acts of war, landmines and diseases. Several prosthetic outreach programs and clinics have been established, and access, mobility projects and economic reintegration efforts have now been implemented in various countries in Latin America and Africa, and the Polus Center has recently begun victim assistance efforts in Jordan. Over the years, The Polus Center has broadened the scope of its mission beyond the provision of direct care services, to include planning and development consultation services on the national and international level. By collaborating with other non-governmental organizations plus local business and humanitarian groups, the Polus Center has been able to provide key financial and strategic aid that result in long-term, self-sustaining solutions.
