Karimu’s Mission is to fight poverty in order to enhance the well-being of rural villages in the developing world. We are committed to keeping an open mind to suggestions for the precise projects that will enhance well-being. Karimu recognizes that poverty can only be defeated by tackling the three biggest challenges facing the poor: - poor health and sanitation - meager income - lack of access to financial services Karimu believes the villagers they work with understand their problems—and can recognize effective solutions—more accurately than any outsiders can. The villagers engage fully in projects that Karimu helps fund as enthusiastic collaborators because they believe in these projects. Ideas for new projects come from the villagers themselves and are selected and prioritized jointly with the village councils and other local leaders.
The Northland Community Foundation is a charitable Foundation established for Northland, our people and our causes that are important to us. The Foundation invests funds on behalf of people, charities or businesses that would like to donate back to Northland charitable causes forever. We invest the funds with our local investment advisors, Craigs Investment Partners, and deliver the interest back to the chosen charitable cause each year. This creates a legacy for the donor and the chosen charity. The Foundation also provides ‘Living Giving’ options for donors including direct donations to charitable causes, and payroll giving. The Northland Foundation is a member of Community Foundations NZ and the Fundraising Institute of NZ. We have established endowment funds with the Northland District Health Board, Sport Northland, Volunteering Northland, and many more.

Hounslow Music Service is a charity that provides high-quality instrumental and vocal tuition to school-aged children across the London Borough of Hounslow. Our range of programmes supports the development of musical talent, both in and out of the school environment. We offer instrumental and vocal lessons in and out of school; whole class instrumental teaching at primary level; a structured, progressive programme of bands, orchestras and choirs; and inspirational projects with partners such as the Philharmonia Orchestra. We also manage a large stock of instruments which are available to for our students and schools to hire, and we open our music library to support school-based bands and orchestras. The HMS Bursary is a new fund to support music education for young people in Hounslow. It has been set up to raise funds to support more children to learn to play an instrument or to sing. The more money we raise, the more children we can support. £20 could buy a set of books to help a child prepare for an examination. £38 could pay for instrument hire for a term. £80 could pay for a term’s membership of all bands and orchestras for two siblings. £230 would fund 1 term at Saturday Music Academy, offering a bespoke programme including choir, theory, instrumental lessons and membership of an unlimited number of bands and orchestras. Every penny donated will reach a child, so your gift, no matter how small, will make a difference.

Our mission is to provide support and programs that facilitate a smooth and successful transition for our Nation’s combat wounded heroes and Gold Star families. This is a very fragile time for these heroes, and their families, and it can be difficult for many. Our programs focus on housing and homeownership, employment, as well as recreational activities and transportation assistance.
