CHOSA's mission is to identify and support communities and community-based organizations (CBOs) that reach out and take care of orphans and other vulnerable children in South Africa. CHOSA takes a holistic and non-directive approach to community development which helps empower other marginalized people in these communities. Moreover, through community participation and ownership of the development process, CHOSA promotes local action, self-empowerment, and peer-to-peer networking as essential strategies for community-driven development. We do this by providing five major services to the projects with whom we partner: Once-off grants, Ongoing grants, Capacity building, Networking, and After-school programs. Driven by the principle that communities should own their development process, we provide our partners with unrestricted funding and a supportive relationship that promotes autonomous decision-making.
Sunflower of Peace is a US-based non-profit organization whose current mission is to provide medical and humanitarian aid for people affected by violence in Ukraine. Sunflower of Peace started its first fundraiser in 2015 with a purpose of helping people who were affected by violence in Ukraine. As our organization grew bigger, we started providing help to orphans, internally displaced persons, and, recently, those most affected by COVID-19 in Ukraine. We fundraised thousands of US dollars and provided hundreds of medical workers in Ukraine with equipment they lacked in the times of drained resources and even larger needs. We also provided numerous educational opportunities for talented Ukraine genetics scientists.

WE ENVISION A CULTURE WHERE: People go to theaters to see movies about great heroes with strong character and leave with an attitude of reverence and a feeling of awe at the beauty, the truth, and the virtue that those movies reflect. We’ll be able to look back on the previous decade and say that at least a third of the top ten movies of that decade bring glory and honor to God. Great movies will give people of faith confidence and courage and instill in them the pride to live their values.
