Beyond the Cleanup: Invest in a Naturally Cleaner, Greener Future with Biodiversity Fund Forget the surface-level fixes. While beach cleanups are a vital part of the picture, the Biodiversity Fund goes deeper, tackling the root causes of environmental degradation in our precious oceans and forests through innovative, science-backed solutions. We invite you to invest in a future where nature doesn't just survive, but thrives – a future that is naturally clean and vibrantly green. Our approach is different. We partner with leading scientific groups to implement targeted, effective strategies that go far beyond traditional methods. In our forests, we're not just planting trees; we're restoring life's vital connections. Many forest ecosystems rely on a delicate dance between plants and pollinators. Habitat loss and fragmentation have disrupted this crucial process, threatening the health and regeneration of these vital carbon sinks. Our scientific collaborations focus on understanding these intricate relationships and actively working to restore them. This can involve specialized techniques to support native pollinator populations, ensuring the successful reproduction and growth of a diverse and resilient forest, securing their future for generations to come. In our oceans, we're harnessing the power of nature itself to heal and restore. Pollution and excess nutrients are choking our marine environments. Instead of simply removing वेस्ट (waste), we are deploying ocean-friendly micro organic solutions, specifically beneficial algae. These microscopic powerhouses act as natural biofilters, absorbing excess nutrients and pollutants, helping to restore water quality and create a healthier environment for marine life. This innovative approach addresses the imbalance at a fundamental level, fostering a more resilient and vibrant ocean ecosystem.

Ecole St Vincent- Besançon- Baskinta
Ecole St Vincent- Besançon- Baskinta
Ecole saint Vincent - Besançon Baskinta « Toujours en avant " ______ En 1904, répondant à l’appel de l’Église du Liban, les Sœurs de la Charité de Sainte Jeanne Antide (Besançon) ont planté les premières racines d’une mission éducative au service des enfants de notre pays. Au fil du temps, leur mission continue de grandir et d’évoluer au grès des besoins de la société : accueil des orphelins, éducation des filles, formation humaine, intellectuelle et spirituelle de toute une jeunesse. Aujourd’hui, notre école est comme un arbre aux branches multiples : - Une école académique du préscolaire jusqu’au brevet. - Une école technique avec deux spécialisations : Hôtellerie et Informatique / Comptabilité. - Un internat accueillant enfants de tout le Liban, de toutes cultures et religions, en grande précarité (de 6 à 18 ans). - Une garderie pour les enfants de 1 à 3 ans. Nos élèves peuvent suivre des parcours diplômants reconnus par l'État : le cursus du Brevet Professionnel (BP1, BP2), et par la suite celui du Bac Technique (BT1 à BT3) qui leur ouvrent la voie vers l'autonomie professionnelle. Notre école, qui est un établissement catholique, francophone et reconnu comme ONG, accueille environ 340 élèves accompagnés par 50 enseignants et membres du personnel administratif. Bien plus qu’un lieu d’enseignement, elle est un lieu de vie et d’espérance où chacun y est accueilli, écouté et soutenu. Nous croyons en une éducation qui donne du sens à la vie, qui fait grandir en humanité, en responsabilité et en liberté. Une éducation qui apprend aux jeunes à mettre leurs talents au service du bien commun et les prépare à construire une société plus juste, plus fraternelle, plus belle. Mais depuis octobre 2018, à l’image de notre pays, notre école traverse une succession de crises profondes. L’État ne nous verse plus les aides auxquelles nous avons droit pour l’institution sociale et pour les écoles primaire et technique. Les familles, elles aussi, sont durement touchées. Près de 50 % des parents sont au chômage ou ne reçoivent qu’un demi-salaire et peinent alors à payer les frais de scolarité. Et pourtant, nos équipes restent mobilisées et continuent d’accueillir, former et accompagner tous nos élèves sans exception. Chaque jour, avec foi et courage, nous poursuivons notre mission et continuons de semer les graines du savoir et de l’apprentissage. Ainsi dans ce contexte sans précédent, où nous sommes dans l’incapacité de répondre aux besoins croissants du fonctionnement de l’établissement mais cherchons malgré tout à honorer nos engagements envers notre personnel éducatif et à alléger le fardeau financier des familles, nous avons besoin de vous. Aujourd’hui, plus que jamais, nous faisons appel à la générosité de nos amis et de nos bienfaiteurs. En parrainant un orphelin ou un élève en grande difficulté sociale ou financière, ou en participant au fonctionnement ou développement de l'etablissement, vous devenez un maillon d’une grande chaine humaine, contribuez à faire vivre notre mission éducative et maintenez allumée la flamme de la connaissance, de la vie et de l’espérance dans les yeux de tous nos élèves, sans exception.

Over time, their mission has continued to grow and adapt to the evolving needs of society: caring for orphans, educating girls, and fostering the human, intellectual, and spiritual development of generations of youth. Today, our school is like a tree with many branches: - An academic school from preschool through to the Brevet. - A technical school offering two specializations: Hospitality and IT/Accounting. - A boarding facility welcoming vulnerable children from across Lebanon, of all cultures and religions, aged 6 to 18. - A daycare center for children aged 1 to 3. Our students can pursue state-recognized diploma programs: the Brevet Professionnel track (BP1, BP2), followed by the Baccalauréat Technique (BT1 to BT3), paving the way to professional independence. Our school, a Catholic and French-speaking institution recognized as an NGO, welcomes around 340 students, supported by 50 teachers and administrative staff. More than just a place of learning, it is a place of life and hope, where everyone is welcomed, heard, and supported. We believe in an education that gives meaning to life, one that nurtures humanity, responsibility, and freedom. An education that teaches young people to use their talents in service of the common good and prepares them to build a more just, fraternal, and beautiful society. Since October 2018, like our country, our school has been going through a series of deep crises. The state no longer provides the financial support we are entitled to for our social institution and for the primary and technical schools. Families have also been severely affected: nearly 50% of parents are unemployed or receive only half a salary, making it difficult for them to pay school fees. And yet, our team remain committed and continue to welcome, educate, and support all our students without exception. Every day, with faith and courage, we carry on our mission, sowing the seeds of knowledge and learning. In this unprecedented context where we are unable to meet the growing operational needs of the school but are still striving to honor our commitments to our educational staff and ease the financial burden on families, we need your support. Today, more than ever, we appeal to the generosity of our friends and benefactors. By sponsoring an orphan or a student facing severe social or financial hardship, you become part of a powerful human chain, helping sustain our educational mission and keeping the flame of knowledge, life, and hope alive in the eyes of all our students, without exception.

Powering Breath: Affordable Ventilators for Africa
Powering Breath: Affordable Ventilators for Africa
Hi. My name is Hank DeBey. My team and I are in Africa, and we have developed an amazing new medical device to treat the most lethal diseases in Africa, lung diseases. Lung diseases kill more than three times as many people as malaria. An essential tool for treating lung diseases is the ventilator, but in Africa, ventilators are virtually non-existent. In Africa, there is less than one ventilator for every 100,000 people, while in the USA, there are 35 ventilators for every 100,000. The primary reason ventilators are rarely found in Africa is they are very expensive, ranging from $20,000 to $55,000. Another factor contributing to the scarcity of ventilators in Africa is the fact that they require a procedure called intubation and people sufficiently trained to carry out intubations are about as scarce as the ventilators themselves. We have developed a ventilator that is perfect for use in Africa. We call it the Afri-Genie ventilator, and it offers a truly life-saving solution for millions of people across Africa each year. Our Afri-Genie ventilator is incredibly low-cost at less than $3,000 and it doesn't require intubations to be performed, yet it achieves the basic specifications of conventional ventilators. Those two factors mean that it can be deployed not only in big city hospitals but it can even be used by minimally-trained community health workers in small rural clinics. A key design principle of our Afri-Genie ventilator is the use of locally available materials common across Africa, such as plumbing pipes and automotive repair parts. This eliminates complex, expensive supply chains and simplifies manufacturing and ongoing product support. We urgently need your help to carry out clinical trials of our new ventilator and to start deploying it as widely as possible. Here is How Your Contributions Will Be Used: - Upgrade to fair salaries for our dedicated volunteer team - Upgrade our production capabilities - Conduct 24-hour stress testing of multiple ventilators to prove durability and reliability - Install solar panels to ensure uninterrupted power for testing, despite daily power outages - Relocate to a larger facility that can support expanded operations - Cover clinical trial expenses, including regulatory approvals, supplies, and logistics Of course, these aspirations hinge upon the help you can give us and the actual level of these activities will be scaled according to the donations received Please click the donate button now.

Help Salem, who fights malignant liver disease
Help Salem, who fights malignant liver disease
hello, I'm Kaci, I'm the one running this campaign for this family. This is his story:  My name is Salem, I am 48 years old, I live in Gaza, in the heart of war and destruction. Life here is full of challenges and difficulties, but I still fight every day to survive, not only against the harsh conditions, but also against a merciless disease.     I suffer from chronic heart disease and *malignant liver cancer* that threatens my life. Doctors told me that I am in an advanced stage of the disease, and that if I cannot get treatment in time, it will be too late. In Gaza, where wars devour our lives and medical resources are scarce, getting treatment has become very difficult.    I have tried to withstand these conditions, but the situation has become more difficult day after day. The pain does not leave me, and it has become difficult for me to continue my daily life with my family. I suffer from constant fatigue, loss of appetite, and significant weight loss, and every day that passes I feel that I am further away from my dreams and the dreams of my family.   Today, I am writing to you from a heart full of hope, hoping to find  Who can help me in this ordeal? I have decided to open my heart and ask for your help in this difficult time. I need the treatment that could save my life, give me another chance to live, and I ask you to stand with me in this fight, every donation, no matter how small, will make a huge impact in my life. Donations will help me get the necessary and expensive treatment that I cannot afford on my own. With you, I can fight and dream of a recovery that will restore my life and open up new opportunities for me to live with my family.    I only ask for another chance in life, a chance to survive for my loved ones, a chance to raise my family's head after wars and disease have destroyed it.  Please, do not leave me in this darkness, and be a light in our path.  *Help me complete this journey.*    Thank you to everyone who contributed, whether by donating or by sharing the campaign. Your support could be the reason for giving me a new life. May Allah reward you.
