EcoSwell's mission is "To support the development of vulnerable communities in a sustainable way by implementing the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals". Our vision is A Future in Which People and Nature can Thrive in Unison. EcoSwell's strategy focuses on four key areas to implement this: - Positively impacting local natural environments - Positively impacting local communities - Developing sustainability leaders of the future - Building and developing a successful organisation to support the strategy EcoSwell's Volunteer Internship programme is central to the model, operating to drive the creation and implementation of sustainability projects, whilst transforming the Volunteer Interns into agents of change. The Volunteer Internship programme offers opportunities in six different areas: Renewable Energy, Reforestation and Conservation, NGO Management, Research, Public Health and Water and Sanitation. Since 2013, we have directly impacted the lives of over 5,000 people and indirected impacted 24,000 people in Lobitos, Talara, Piedritas and other surrounding villages. We are based in Lobitos, a small town in the Piura Region of Northern Peru. Lobitos, along with Peidritas and other towns where we work, have poor access to services, with frequent energy supply interruptions, very limited availability of clean water and non existent or unmaintained sewage systems that often leak, leading to open sewage pools. Some families have no access to these services at all. There is severe degradation of the dry forest ecosystem, which impacts farming and availability of local food supplies. We run an EcoHouse, where our volunteer interns stay, and our office is based. The location is not an accident. The four founders and directors are lifelong friends who came to Lobitos on a surfing trip in 2013. Loving the surf, but also seeing the poverty and lack of services in the town, they decided to help, and gave up jobs in the private sector to set up EcoSwell. Since then, the Volunteer Intern programme has been established and many projects have been achieved. More detail is set out in the Impact Report which is attached. During COVID, we have been working in partnership with local companies and our Volunteer Interns to deliver food parcels and medical supplies to those most in need. EcoSwell is now keen to expand its impact and is developing a number of projects which align with its strategy which will require funding to make them viable. Working together with Global Giving will enable EcoSwell to reach even more people in this area, and beyond - to deliver its Mission and get closer to its Vision of a Future in Which People and Nature can Thrive in Unison.

The Development Action for Women Network (DAWN) is a non-government, non-profit organization established in 1996 to assist distressed women migrants from Japan, as well as their Japanese-Filipino children, in the promotion and protection of their rights and welfare. In 2011, DAWN expanded its programs to include Filipino migrant domestic workers and their families. Its mission is to live in hope with the Filipino people, especially with the returning distressed migrant women and their children, through programs and services that enable them and their families to regain and strengthen their sense of dignity and self-worth, reclaim their wholeness and attain total development. Up to the mid-1980s, the vast majority of migrant workers were men. By the late 1980s, when the demand for service grew in the international arena, more women workers started to join the migrant workforce. This era marked the feminization of migration. There was a rapid increase in the number of women Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW). Most of them are domestic workers and entertainers. In the 1970's, the Philippines starts sending Overseas Performing Artists (OPAs). About 98% of OPAs go to Japan for work, where 95% are composed of women. The 1990s and 2004 saw a huge increase in the number of Filipino women who were deployed abroad as OPAs. Although the figure declined in 1996 with the implementation of stricter laws after the cases of Maricris Sioson in 1991 and Flor Contemplacion in 1995, there was an increase in the number of OPA deployment in 1997. The deployment reached 74,000 in 2003, and about 71,000 in 2004. It has long been accepted that women constitute the more vulnerable sector among OFWs. The Development Action for Women Network (DAWN) believes that women entertainers, particularly those who work in Japan, are more vulnerable to exploitation with the nature of their work. With the increase of women working in Japan as entertainers in Japan, problems arose, including the issue of Japanese-Filipino Children (JFC). The burden suffered by some of the women who worked in Japan as entertainers is likewise borne by their children. Given such scenario, six concerned individuals with different backgrounds but with a common passion for helping migrant women, met at a nun's residence in Quezon City, the Philippines, to minister to the birth of a new organization that would serve the cause. The six individuals are Aurora Zambrano, an Immaculati Cordis Mariae (ICM) sister; Carmelita Nuqui, who had extensive experience in helping woen overseas workers; Pearl Domingo-Flores, a health worker; Julia Racquel Rimando, a Medical Doctor; Leonardo Morada, a pastor; and Corazon Valdez-Fabros, a lawyer. Thus, on February 6, 1996, DAWN was registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a non-stock, non-profit organization. DAWN was set-up in 1996 to address the growing number and concerns of distressed Filipina migrants from Japan as well as the growing number of JFC abandoned by their Japanese fathers. Its aim is to protect and promote the rights and welfare of Filipina migrants and the JFC, help them regain and enhance their sense of dignity and self-worth, and reclaim their wholeness in the process of their reintegration into their families and the larger Philippine society. Immediately after DAWN was set-up, Sr. Auring Zambrano and Ms. Mel Nuqui were invited for a series of meetings in Japan to explore possible areas of cooperation with different Japanese organizations. During their trips, Sr. Auring says that she learned a lot about the problems of migrants in Japan. One of the biggest problems is the overstaying of women who continue to work despite the lack of proper visas. Sr. Auring also says that she is saddened by the fact that a lot of women "are forced to go into prostitution in order to remain in Japan and survive." Other problems they noted were divorce and complicated relationships with Japanese men or other Filipinos with families in the Philippines, wife battering and abandonment. With all these problems and more, DAWN actively sought out partners who could assist them in helping these women, including their children, rebuild their lives. DAWN worked hand-in-hand with the Citizens' Network for Japanese-Filipino Children in Tokyo, the Japan International Center for the Rights of the Child of Osaka, the Lawyers for Japanese-Filipino Children based in Japan, the Kitami Maligaya in Hokkaido, JICHIRO (AllJapan Prefectural and Municipal Workers' Union), the Asia-Japan Women's Resource Center, and some Philippine-based organizations. At the onset, DAWN had to rely on its Board members and incorporators for the implementation of its programs and services. Donations from Filipino and Japanese friends provided the initial funds for DAWN's programs. Volunteers also lend their hands in the running of the programs. It has four core programs: 1. SOCIAL SERVICES 2. ALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOOD 3. RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY 4. EDUCATION And two support programs: 1. INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT 2. NETWORKING
