Futebol da forca [football gives strength] is an independent international foundation, educational platform and community for purpose-driven football coaches. The organisation was founded in Mozambique in 2012 to work within football to empower girls with agency to make informed decisions and live a life they value. Futebol da forca engages, trains and supports voluntary football coaches to empower girls within football, while changing attitudes and norms that today prevent girls from reaching their full potential, in order for girls to thrive far outside the football field.

Seva Mandir's mission is to make real the idea of society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together and solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts. The commitment is to work for a paradigm of development and governance that is democratic and polyarchic. Seva Mandir seeks to institutionalise the idea that development and governance is not only to be left to the State and its formal bodies like the legislature and the bureaucracy, but that citizens and their associations should engage separately and jointly with the State. The mission briefly, is to construct the conditions in which citizens of plural backgrounds and perspectives can come together and deliberate on how they can work to benefit and empower the least advantaged in society.

Our Mission: We provide healthcare development support and promote holistic well-being; We prevent and reduce the harmful use of alcohol and illicit drugs and help mitigate the associated negative health, social, and economic consequences; We advocate for evidence and best practice-based alcohol policy formulation and implementation on the national and international levels.

The ICPCN promotes palliative care for children globally through advocacy, education, research, networking and communication

Educare Fund supports needy families in Lesotho to enable them to keep their bright girl children in high school in order to ensure that these girls can gain better access to higer education and improved job opportunities. Educare Fund works in partnership with families who already have girls in high schools in various parts of the country by topping up the school fees for each girl. The family pays half the school fees and Educare Fund pays the balance. This is to make sure that the famlilies retain a stake in the education of the girls we support. We feel very strongly about this parnership as we feel it reinforces self-determination locally. The principal goal is the further empowerment of women in Lesotho so that they can play a part in society with greater confidence. Although the current focus is high schoool education which is often a stumbling block for some girls from poor families who do not qualify for govenment support, the charity would like to be in a position to offer scholarships for college and university level.
