Trocaire
IrelandResearch/Dev
Trócaire is the official overseas development agency of the Catholic Church in Ireland. It was set up by the Irish Catholic Bishops in 1973 to express the concern of the Irish Church for the suffering of the world's poorest and most oppressed people. Trócaire’s partnership approach makes us different. We work through global Catholic networks and with local partners on the ground. When we help people, we work with them, so that they drive the entire process themselves. Solutions are not imposed on the people we help. Instead, they become the authors of their own destiny.

TAO has since 1995 focussed on the delivery of aid projects funded by European and Australian donor organisations. We work only on projects which allow orphans, and the families who care for them, to remain in their local enviroment. We understand the basic African spirit of community and family land ownership and do not seek to displace children or villages. As part of our programme of expansion we aim to recruit a team of 'TAO Volunteers' who we hope will be willing to dedicate their time, skills and commitment on an ad-hoc basis to assist us with fund-raising and administrative projects.
Trust for Public Land
United StatesEnvironment
The Trust for Public Land is a national nonprofit organization working to protect land as parks and open space. TPL is not a government agency, although we sometimes work with agencies to protect land. TPL helps communities and government agencies identify land for protection. We help identify funds that might be used to protect that land, and we sometimes help raise those funds through charitable campaigns and legislative or voter initiatives. Finally, TPL's real estate and legal staff help complete the transaction itself-often optioning or purchasing a property temporarily until it can be permanently protected by a government or community land trust.

The fight against tuberculosis continues relentlessly and the last word has not been said so far. It is expected that the efforts of the Centre would continue to throw light on the changing principles of chemotherapy and allied aspects of tuberculosis such as immunology.
Tufts University
United StatesChildren/Education
We are known for our international perspective. Seventy years ago, the Fletcher School was founded. During his visit to campus a few years ago, President Clinton remarked on the foresight of Tufts to found the first school of international relations in the country, at a time of great isolationism in the U.S. Over time Fletcher has infected the rest of the university in a very healthy way. If you look at how each of our schools describes itself, each takes pride in the fact that among its peers, it is international in orientation. Certainly, that is manifested in Arts and Sciences, where International Relations is one of our most popular majors. Also, a significant number of our undergraduates study abroad, and our professional schools engage in international activities. For two out of the last three years, Tufts has led the nation in the number of Peace Corps volunteers. Our international dimension positions us well in this time of global interdependence.

Tukae is a Tanzanian-initiated project led by personnel from the UK, we are involved in work that is wanted by local people and for which there is a clearly identified need. We are very much community based and needs driven. The underpinning philosophy is that by equipping people with appropriate knowledge, skills and abilities, opportunities and decision-making processes are enhanced and peoples' abilities to make choices are improved. When both the range and quality of choice is enhanced then the opportunity to move out of poverty is significantly reinforced.

Twilight Children was formed in 1983 as a direct response to the situation street children were experiencing. Based on the work of a number of volunteers what was originally a soup kitchen was extended to become a shelter. Other additional elements (e.g. training) have been added over the years. Support from local and international donors has enabled the organisation to function. The organisation operates a shelter providing accommodation to around +- 90 boys of between 8 and 20 years of age. Accommodation is provided on a full time basis and the boys are enrolled in local schools, are involved in training or undertake some kind of employment.

Two Wings Network
AustriaResearch/Dev
In the understanding of TwoWings, to release the potential of the people is the basis for every sustained development. The philosophy TwoWings is committed to, is to enable a future through education – releasing human potential. This idea serves as central theme in regard to all projects that TwoWings supports world-wide. Because only if the people whom we want to support, are not permanently dependent on our assistance but understand the support as impulse to become active themselves in changing and improving their situation, can this assistance be of lasting benefit. Education is thereby the key to success.
TY HAFAN
United KingdomDisability
Tŷ Hafan was established in 1999 to provide respite, palliative and end of life care to the children in Wales who suffer from life-limiting conditions. Life limiting conditions are those which mean that the child or young person is not expected to reach nineteen years of age. Some children are diagnosed at birth; others receive no diagnosis or at some point treatment is abandoned. Children and their families might receive our support for many years or just for a few days at the end of life. Either way, Tŷ Hafan provides love, care and support for the children and their families absolutely free of charge.
