Sky Badger

We are a group of parents of severely disabled and abled bodied children. We got fed up with seeing disabled children in sad appeals ads with wailing sound tracks and pity voice overs and have decided that normality, joy and silliness is what families of all types should be able to strive for. Sky Badger is a new national charity, set up to provide information and signpost services to disabled children and their families via our website. Sky badger links you to a huge variety of services, charities and special events...even free stuff. This is about having as much fun as possible; we all know that stresses, panic and depression are high-and there is help and we can show you where to find it. We want all of us to learn how to be families again. There will always be hospitals, tests, and rough times ahead. Sky badger is about chucking those feelings of a cliff and enjoying our children for who they are.

Founded in 1981, the Snow Leopard Trust is the world's leading authority on the study and protection of the endangered snow leopard. At the Snow Leopard Trust we use a combination of approaches that focus on partnering with communities in snow leopard habitat. But as we build community partnerships we use science and research to determine key snow leopard habitat, assess wildlife-human conflict levels, and identify potential resources for conservation programs. Once we have this information we can prioritize the areas where we will work. High priority areas include key snow leopard habitat, with a history of conflict between predators and the communities, and potential resources to sustain a community-based conservation program.

Soaring Eagle

A primary focus of Soaring Eagle are the Forgotten People - Native American elders. The most important resource to the Northern Cheyenne Tribe are their elderly, those who instill pride in cultural heritage, those who teach traditions to younger generations. Cheyenne heritage is lost when elders are sent off reservation to nursing homes, sometimes one hundred miles away. As tribal member Chief Charles Sitting Man, Jr. described it, "My people are packed off to towns where they can't speak English. Relatives don't have transportation to go that far to visit. The old die alone and come back in a bag - a bag of bones." That is why many Northern Cheyenne elders with health problems are happy to be moved into our Heritage Living Center. This 40-unit Assisted Living Facility covers more than 48,000 square feet on a five-acre elevation, approximately 3,000 feet above sea level, the perfect location for residents who are also photographers, painters, bird watchers and wildlife enthusiasts. Observing the Cheyenne tradition, the front entrance faces East, the direction in which the Cheyenne elders greet Maheo, the Creator, each morning at sunrise.

Social Care World (SCW)

Promoting social care provision for the old, the young and the disabled in Africa and south-east Asia, in order to reduce the social care burden on families and enable them to become more economically productive and so reduce poverty.

The people who are living with a long term disabling condition or need support in all areas of their lives are ‘less fortunate’ so, the SCW is of the view that the expedient life-span of the ‘less fortunate’ can be sustained. Social Care World is informing all peoples of the world, and SCW is getting the international humanitarian community to recognise the problems of ‘family burden’ of social care as the greatest source of underdevelopment and persisting poverty.
