All Community created Funds

On Friday October 25th, 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency in response to the fires raging in Northern and Southern California. Both the Kincade fire in Sonoma County, Northern California, and the Tick fire in Los Angeles County, Southern California, have caused several evacuations impacting hundreds of thousands of people within the community. Bright Funds has established The 2019 California Fire Response and Recovery Fund to support the communities impacted by these fires. This Fund is comprised of pre-vetted nonprofits providing emergency response in the region. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations' initiatives to provide short-term and long-term response and recovery. We have initially selected organizations that are providing immediate relief needs, including rescue efforts and medical assistance. The composition of the nonprofits in this Fund are subject to change as we learn more about the needs on the ground.

PLEASE SUPPORT AND HELP OUR DOGs Facing the winter in (all) our shelters supporting ProDogRomania e.V. Every winter is the hardest time for our dogs to survive in the four shelters we take care of. It poses special challenges for our animal rights activists and for us to stand this time of the year. The dogs have to be supported by temperatures as low as 25 degrees Celsius and a lot of snow so that they survive this difficult time well. Water in the troughs freezes, the youngest are fed warm meals of oatmeal and chicken stock if possible, so that they sometimes have something warm in their stomach. Straw is regularly brought into the dog houses so that the dogs can lie down warm in these huts. Now before the beginning of winter the dogs must be fed with high-quality food, so that they can form also appropriate winter fur. Additional food supplements such as salmon oil are also very important. In addition, we try to equip all kennels in all shelters throughout the year with enough huts and roofs to provide some protection. But there is still a lot missing! It is our aim to roof all kennels and to provide all dogs with a hut and good food. In order to feed all dogs regularly and to replace frozen water we also need enough workers for this very hard work, especially in winter. There is still a lot of room for improvement here.

Each year, over 40,000 women will die of breast cancer in the United States. Although prevention, research, and treatment have made tremendous strides over the past two decades, breast cancer remains a major threat to women worldwide. It is the most common cancer in women, regardless of race or ethnicity. While white women are slightly more likely to develop breast cancer than are African American women, African American women are more likely to die of the disease. Asian, Latina, and Native American women have a lower risk than of developing breast cancer, but stigma within Hispanic and Latino groups prevents them from seeking care and enrolling in clinical research. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, join Braze in providing support to organizations doing critical work in the fight against breast cancer.

The internal statistics of the Council of Refugee Women in Bulgaria (CRWB) shows around 300 persons (adults and children) residing in Sofia city with a refugee or humanitarian status. Another 350 asylum seekers (as of the end of April 2019, according to statistics of the State Agency for Refugees (SAR) are accommodated in the SAR reception centers in Sofia and Harmanli. After the previous phases of the project, as well as during the awareness raising sessions among refugees and asylum seekers, individual needs were communicated with the project team deriving from various vulnerabilities among the beneficiaries, including GBV, womens health and children – related issues. The Council of Refugee Women in Bulgaria is developing a colaboration, aimed at responding to the need of implementing a comprehensive approach, specific to GBV cases among refugees and asylum seekers in Bulgaria. The need derives from cultural differences and enhanced vulnerability of refugees because of language and cultural barriers, low level of social adaptation, lack of enough information, good civic orientation in the hosting society and poverty as a contributing factor to domestic violence. The approach involves working with both parents and children –to improve parental capacity through the provision of social services or to signal for urgent protection measures in cases of violence against children and GBV, including domestic violence and sexual violence. The focus of the initiative is to target cases regarding gender-based violence (GBV) and other types of violence via direct programs (individual support and group awareness raising and GBV prevention activities) for survivors or persons at risk; multidisciplinary work with professionals in the area, as well as internal organizational development of policies and procedures to position the organization among the licensed social services providers. Specialized support will continue to be provided via an external psychotherapist to provide assessment in cases of violence/risk of violence for survivor or person/child at risk. The external professional assessment will help navigate the case and better prioritize a clients needs of support and subsequent referrals. In addition, individual support will be provided via a vulnerability fund, on the basis of vulnerability assessment, to cover individual urgent needs which are identified or occur in the process of social assessment/case work.

EDUCATION FOR 100 KIDS IN UGANDA SUMMARY Today, education remains an inaccessible right for millions of children around the world. When a child doesn’t have access to a school it impacts every part of their life - from worldviews to life expectancy to likelihood of violence and prevalence of disease. A school is a spark which begins to shape it all. CHALLENGE "Smile for Africa foundation" has the courage to realize the dream of buying land and build a school and orphanage for around 100 kids in rural Uganda. Today the kids are living and studying in constructions, which can hardly be called “house” and “school”. In conditions of misery and constant morbidity the kids could not receive good education, which they deserve. You can see from the video how the kids are living today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2POd-YOsgRo&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2zSdqckyZt_RPl-D8lwMi3VZn-pgeUucpqWUcss24K5CizIn0lxtt1Iq4 SOLUTION With the donations made to this project "Smile for Africa foundation" will buy land and will build nursery and primary school, where every day 100 kids will have access to education. On the other hand, the foundation will build an orphanage house, which will improve the living conditions and will give hope for a better life. LONG-TERM IMPACT Giving children the opportunity to explore and study is an important first step to their independence. Education is fundamental to sustainable development, it is a powerful driver for reducing poverty and improving health. Giving kids knowledge is giving them a better FUTURE.
