The Share and Care Foundation™, born 1982 in New Jersey, is the brainchild of a small group of Indian-Americans. SCF began with a very simple idea: Convert what is considered "waste" in the Western world into much needed help in the East.The idea became a reality when good quality used clothes and equipment-considered obsolete in the West but a huge leap forward in remote areas of the East-were soon being included in shipments. These supplies dramatically improved the quality of care in charitable hospitals. From its infancy, we realized the benefits of volunteerism. SCF volunteers see ourselves as catalysts, promoting low-cost, high-return programs at the grass-roots level, which have grown exponentially in last several years. We have been successful and instrumental in rebuilding lives in the rural communities of India where the government or the big nonprofits had little success. Our collaborative attitude and deep understanding of the rural issues helped overcome many challenges.

Across the U.S., members learn about and advocate for gender equality issues, give grants to organizations that empower women and girls in low-income countries, and build a community to forge meaningful connections that increase our strength and collective impact. Every person deserves the same opportunities to thrive, regardless of race, gender, wealth, or where they happen to be born.

In particular, across the global south, millions of women live in extreme poverty and without access to personal freedoms or opportunities to reach their full potential. Every woman deserves the fundamental human right to live freely and pursue dreams. We believe that gender equality is achievable, and that determined women and allies together in community can achieve anything.

We believe this worldwide, silent catastrophe will be solved when people come together as a concerned community and take effective, simple actions. Water1st was created to support water projects that would last. Our vision was to support local, on-the-ground organizations (our partners in this work) with a proven track record of implementing effective, long-lasting water and sanitation projects. And since most international nonprofit organizations do not follow up on their projects, we would be different.

Eradicating the world's water crisis through local, missional businesses. Water4 is focused on professionalizing the provision of safe water by equipping a network of missional entrepreneurs throughout sub-Saharan Africa to create lasting economic, physical, and spiritual change through market-based and operationally-contextual safe water solutions. This approach puts the solutions to local problems in the hands of local people and ensures that safe water access is sustained by local resources for lasting impact. An empowered, connected, and professionalized human network that is equipped with innovative and sustainability-focused technologies, aligned with policy makers, and on fire with faith is what we hope to leave behind in our mission of making 'impossible' become 'history.'

World Villages for Children (previously known as Asian Relief, Inc.) provides financial support to the charity programs of the Sisters of Mary in South Korea, the Philippines, Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, Honduras and Tanzania. We provide food, care and education for the poorest of the poor children who, through no fault of their own, fall victim to circumstances that have far-reaching consequences for their education and living environment. We provide over 20,000 children with high quality middle school and high school education along with vocational training relevant to local industries and businesses. When the children graduate from high school and leave our villages, the Sisters help them find a job as well as their own place to live. Already more than 150,000 graduates have broken free from a life of poverty and are gainfully employed. Many of our graduates are professionals and have continued their studies in college.

WorldServe starts with water as the foundation for communities to become self-sufficient, capable of adding additional services such as health care, sanitation, job training, and education. WorldServe's primary strategy is the drilling of boreholes for water wells. WorldServe works in partnership with local leaders to ensure that well sites are built and maintained for sustainability. A key outcome is that, instead of walking several hours to a dirty water source, village women and girls can secure clean water in perhaps 15 minutes, allowing economy and education to flourish as time is spent more productively. Health issues diminish further as hygiene can be learned and practiced.
