Planet Read

PlanetRead is a not-for-profit organization registered in CA, USA and in India. It is dedicated to reading and literacy development around the world and has a solid track record of work in India. PlanetRead was originally created around the idea of Same Language Subtitling (SLS), now a globally recognized innovation for mass literacy and reading development on TV.

We Are What We Do

We’re not another charity. We’re not an institution. We Are What We Do is a movement. We’d like to inspire people to use their everyday actions to change the world. Whoever they are. And wherever they are. And that includes you.

Pioneers of Change fosters understanding, capacities and relationships needed by younger practitioners committed to stepping forward and creating the change they want to see in the world. Pioneers of Change is a global learning network supporting practitioners in their mid-20s to mid-30.

Vesana

Helping Those Who Help Others
Vesana.com is a noncommercial web hosting project providing free space to nonprofits, community organizers, and others working to help the world, regardless of politics.
We fund this work by offering inexpensive hosting options to individuals and businesses on a one-to-one basis: when you sign up for a hosting plan, you are in effect “sponsoring” free hosting for a community service group from our waiting list.

Kiva

Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. By choosing a business on Kiva.org, you can “sponsor a business” and help the world’s working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the business you’ve sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back.

Institute Without Boundaries

Having launched our discourse on design culture with the Massive Change project, the Institute without Boundaries is embarking on our next multi-year collaboration — to design a sustaining, universal and healthy human dwelling. That challenge is different depending on where you are. In developed countries, we have urban sprawl and monster houses that consume huge amounts of the world’s total energy supply while polluting the atmosphere. In developing countries, over a billion people live in urban slums or in the streets without shelter.

Global Kids

Global Kids (GK) is committed to transforming urban youth into successful students as well as global and community leaders. Using interactive and experiential methods to educate youth about critical international and foreign policy issues, GK provides students with opportunities for civic and global engagement. Through its professional development program, GK provides teachers and educators with strategies for integrating a youth development approach and international issues into their classrooms.
