Newsletter & Updates

June

Thank you for your eyes this month! Here’s the latest.

This month you helped with an amazing cause. We provided clean drinking water to Mango Tree Girls School. A Kenyan boarding school for girls that provides education to highly vulnerable and orphaned girls. 
Well done!

In celebration of our first newsletter, we have also donated to help restore New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains, where the devastating Las Conchas wildfire scarred over 156,600 acres and destroyed vital upland forests that Indigenous communities depend on for cultural and natural resources. This ongoing initiative strengthens Tribal climate resilience and reflects a commitment to honoring Indigenous sovereignty by supporting community-led restoration efforts.

 

What’s next? Nursery school children in Ethiopia lack access to basic medical care, leaving them vulnerable to preventable illness and infection. Our support will provide medicinal treatment to children across three nurseries in Muketuri, Mizen Teferi, and Andode, helping them grow into healthy, independent adults.

Water For Life

Water for Life follows three people who refused to let governments and corporations take their water. One was shot and imprisoned and won an international prize from his cell. One spent a decade in court against a mining company and won. 
 
It sits close to home for us. In May, we funded a fire brigade to protect rainforest and orangutan habitat through a dry season. In June, we supported a solar-powered borehole so girls at the Mango Tree Girls School in Kenya no longer depend on rainfall or a costly water tanker. Different continents, same fact: water is growing scarcer, and the people with the least power are left to defend it.
 
Berta, Francisco, and Alberto were asking for the same thing as the communities we support: enough water to live on, and a say in what happens to it. We hope you’ll watch.
 

Nadia

With the World Cup unfolding across stadiums in the US, Canada, and Mexico, Nadia reminds us what football can mean beyond the scoreboard. Nadia Nadim fled Afghanistan as a child after her father was executed by the Taliban, eventually finding refuge in Denmark, where she became an international football star, and this documentary follows her journey back toward a country and a grief she was never allowed to fully confront.

Democracy Under Siege

As the president’s second term stress-tests American institutions, Democracy Under Siege arrives at exactly the right moment. Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Laura Nix and anchored by the razor-sharp political cartoons of Ann Telnaes, the film examines executive overreach, a crisis in judicial ethics, and a media landscape saturated with disinformation, asking plainly whether American multiracial democracy can survive the pressures now bearing down on it.
