Our purpose is to reduce poverty, bring hope and solidarity to poor communities or individuals in France and worldwide. We bring assistance to families, children and young people but also to the most vulnerable (homelesses, migrants, prisoners etc.). We fight against isolation, help them to find employement and we ensure their social reintegration. We provide emergency responses but also long term support, development aid and we work on the causes of poverty. The action of Secours Catholique finds all its meaning in a global vision of poverty which aims at restoring the human person's dignity and is part and parcel of sustainable development. To do so, six key principles guide this action, both in France and abroad: Promoting the place and words of people living in situations of poverty Making each person a main player of their own development Joining forces with people living in situations of poverty Acting for the development of the human person in all its aspects Acting on the causes of poverty and exclusion Arousing solidarity The actions of Secours Catholique are implemented by a network of local teams of volunteers integrated into the diocesan delegations and supported by the volunteers and employees of the national headquarters. On an international level, Secours Catholique acts in cooperation with its partners of the Caritas Internationalis network. Key figures of Secours Catholique: 100 diocesan or departmental delegations 4,000 local teams 65,000 volunteers 974 employees 2,174 reception centres 3 centres : Cite Saint-Pierre in Lourdes, Maison d'Abraham in Jerusalem, Cedre in Paris 18 housing centres managed by the Association des Cites of Secours Catholique 162 Caritas Internationalis partners 600,000 donors Every year Secours Catholique encounters almost 700,000 situations of poverty and receives 1.6 million people (860,000 adults and 740,000 children). This daily mission led in the field by the local teams and delegations, with the support of national headquarters, pursues three major objectives which aim at exceeding the distribution action and limited aid: Receiving to reply to the primary needs (supplying food and/or health care aid, proposing accommodation, establishing an exchange and a fraternal dialogue, etc) Supporting to restore social ties (bringing together people in difficulty with an aim to reinsertion, encouraging personal initiatives and collective projects, establishing a mutual support helper-receiver of help relationship, etc) Developing to strengthen solidarity (proposing long lasting solutions, establishing a follow-up over the long term, encouraging collective actions carried out by people in difficulty etc.)

One To Many is publicly operating as Teach For Pakistan I. History and Future: Teach For Pakistan was founded in 2010, based on the global model of Teach For All and with support from our incubating partner, The Aman Foundation. The organization was incorporated in 2011 with the name "Teach For Pakistan" and operated as part of the Aman group of companies until 2016. All historical financial and operational materials shared in this application are from this last phase in Teach For Pakistan's journey. Teach For Pakistan has started its next chapter as a new organization with an independent board and diverse funding base. This new entity is legally registered as "One To Many", a non-profit company incorporated in May 2017. We operate publicly under the name "Teach For Pakistan" by virtue of our agreement with Teach For All, the global organization that owns the trademark. Teach For Pakistan is now headed by Khadija Shahper Bakhtiar, who originally co-founded the program in partnership with Aman in 2010, and led the work as CEO and Advisory Board member until 2015. We carry with us six years of learning in program and organizational development, and the commitment of over a hundred Alumni and former staff. II. Mission and Vision: Teach For Pakistan leverages our country's most promising young talent to create a multiplier effect on the education system. We recruit and train top graduates and young professionals from all fields for a two-year Fellowship, and place them to teach in struggling schools in low-income communities. During their two year commitment, Fellows work with their students, school staff and parents to transform learning and life-outcomes for children. After the Fellowship, our Alumni use their experiences to tackle Pakistan's most pressing problems in education, fostering action to change policy and curriculum, mobilizing resources, turning around schools, and spurring social innovation. Collectively, this movement aims to reform the system so that every child in Pakistan has the opportunity to participate in an education that nurtures them to become loving, thinking and engaged citizens.
