Letter from the Board Chair What a thrill for me to be writing to you for this report on One World’s 13th year and the beginning of my tenure as Chair of the Board. I have been part of the One World community since 2006 when I met the founders – Michael, Savitri, and Shanti. Their story was so compelling. Since then, I have chaired the Program Committee, served on the Board, and met many Champions and Partners from around the world. Getting to know our Partners, watching them grow, helping them face challenges, and learning from them has deepened my commitment to this wonderful organization. I look forward to continuing to learn and to help a very strong Board lead One World into its next strategic plan and its bright future. Thank you for your support of our collective work. This may come in the form of volunteered hours and giving of your precious time, sharing your talents or expertise, or sending us financial support. All are tangible gifts and important to our continued success. Steph “Allie” Heckman, Executive Director, is beginning her third year of leadership for our small team. Your financial support has allowed us to hire our Program Manager, Katie Boswell, full time. Our Champions and Partners are already benefiting from her increased availability. Stephanie Judkins continues to confidently manage our finances and administration as she has for the past six years. We, the Board, and our staff, are looking forward to an excellent 14th year and thank you for your part in continuing our progressive steps. We could not do any of this without you – that is the bottom line. With gratitude, Janet Greig Board Chair janet@owcf.org

Letter from the Executive Director I am delighted to share the 2013 Annual Report with you. This report highlights the impact of hundreds of global citizens, including you, working together to improve the lives of children who are affected by poverty. It shows that when we are passionate about a cause, we can create change and opportunity. 2013 was our most successful year to date. We welcomed six new Partners from Tanzania, Brazil, USA, and more. One World’s 75 Champions raised more than $1 million*. These funds will support 40 grassroots Partners who serve 56,709 children with education, healthcare, and shelter. Our success is bound by our values: Transparency, Respect, Generosity, Community, Compassion, and Reciprocity This success inspires us to strive to do better, to do more. By expanding and strengthening the One World community to 50 grassroots Partners by the end of 2014, we will see thousands more children go to school, access medical care, and have a safe home. I want to thank the Board, staff, advisory council, volunteers, interns, and committee members in guiding us through these exciting times of development and growth. I especially want to thank our Partners, Champions, Founders’ Circle members, our many generous donors, and the incredible communities; the women, men, and children, who we partner with across the globe. I am humbled to work with the very best of humanity each day. With immense gratitude, Steph “Allie” Heckman Executive Director steph.heckman@owcf.org *This includes a generous $577,000 legacy gift to one of our Partners One World Children’s Fund 2013 Annual Report

EDUCATION – Fundación Denis Ernesto Gonzáles López, Nicaragua “The scholarship has changed my attitude; now I have better grades…” Fundación Denis Ernesto Gonzáles López (FUDEGL) was founded in 1999 by Sandra López to improve the living and working conditions of the most vulnerable sectors of the Nicaraguan society. Sandra set up FUDEGL in memory of her son, a dynamic young man who had been actively involved in community development work before he tragically died when he was a teenager. Wanting to honor the work that her son had done with local communities, Sandra walked from village to village through the mountainous region of San Ramon to ask local people what they most needed.“ Education for our children” was the answer that Sandra heard again and again in her travels. But, more than this, she heard that education was not an issue that could be tackled in isolation. Children were missing school because they had to work to support their families and they had no money to pay for transportation or school supplies. Sandra and FUDEGL worked with the villagers to establish projects that solved these issues. Today, scholarships for secondary education make it possible for rural teens to attend their local schools. One scholarship recipient, Rosa, 17 years old, explains what this opportunity means to her: “I’m currently in my fourth year of secondary school, and I’ve had a scholarship since 2010. Before, I needed much more time and I spent more money, and my family does not have enough money. The scholarship has changed my attitude, now I have better grades that help me to keep the scholarship, and I feel I have an enterprising attitude to keep studying to complete my studies.” At the same time, FUDEGL funds agricultural initiatives and women’s groups that support families with more sustainable income so their children can go to school. By taking a holistic community-driven approach, FUDEGL is making children’s and parents’ dreams of education a reality.

HEALTHCARE – Tunaweza Fund, Tanzania “Just six months of (Adeni) being in this school has changed his life.” Through the mobile clinics of its Community Based Rehabilitation Program, Tunaweza Fund in Tanzania provides services to children with disabilities and promotes community awareness of disabilities. This is the story of how its services changed the life of Adeni Ruben, an 11-year-old, blind child from the Karagwe District of Tanzania. From when he was five years old, Adeni begged his parents to take him to school to join his friends. But in the Karagwe District, there is no special school for children with disabilities. Adeni was persistent, making his parents almost angry with him because he was putting them under continuous pressure when they had no skills to live with and teach a blind child. Tunaweza Fund identified Adeni and, in 2011, secured a place for him at Mugeza Primary School, which is 130 kilometers from his village. Because Adeni’s parents cannot contribute anything to his school needs, all the expenses required for his boarding school were covered. Adeni’s dreams of getting an education became a reality. Now Adeni can read and write a bit by using Braille and during the midterm test Adeni scored second out of fifteen pupils in his class. When he came home for his first vacation, his parents and villagers could not believe he was the same “dirty and shabby” Adeni they used to know. Adeni was better dressed in his clean school uniform and shoes, all smiles, and happier than when he left them. Just six months of being in this special school has changed his life. Adeni’s schooling has helped his parents as well. They now better understand how to care for him and have a very positive attitude. This fits Tunaweza Fund’s broader mission of raising community awareness about disabilities and including disabled children in the activities of the whole community.

SHELTER – People First Educational Charitable Trust, India “Thank you. Not everybody is bad. For the first time in my life, I realize most people are good.” People First Educational Charitable Trust (PFECT) rescues and rehabilitates lost and abandoned children by providing shelter, care, counseling, and education at their “Rescue Junction” center near the railway station in Gaya, Bihar. Shila Kumari (not her real name) tells her story of being rescued: “My family is desperately poor. My family did try and care for me, but when my father died, everything changed… I had to go to Gaya to find work as a domestic servant in a rich family's house. I was made to work really hard. I was beaten sometimes, but what really made me run away was when the owner of the house tried to force himself on me. I fought him off with a big saucepan and ran into the night. “I didn't know where to go, so I went to the station where a man talked to me in a kindly way. He had a card with him, but I cannot read. He talked on the phone and then a woman came, saying that we can help you. I fell into her arms crying. “She was from Rescue Junction and I am living there now. I'm learning crafts to such a standard that I will be able to earn for my family and not have to leave the village again. I can do this after school because, yes, I am learning to read and write. “Thank you. Not everybody is bad. For the first time in my life, I realize most people are good.” PFECT’s work with children like Shila saw it working with 210 missing children from January 2012 to July 2013. Over 95% of these children were reunited with their families; while others were placed in full-time residential education. Rescue Junction is working with local authorities to put a stop to child labor and trafficking. One World Children’s Fund 2013 Annual Report

Letter from the Treasurer I am proud and excited to have joined the One World community and to serve as a Board Member and as Treasurer. For many years I had been looking for a non-profit where I really knew what kind of impact the donations would have. When I read about One World and the Champion model I was impressed: not only does it enable you to give 100% directly to the grassroots organization of your choice, but the Champion model also allows anybody to become a global philanthropist. The past year shows the power and potential of that model. The fiscal year that ended September 2013 brought in $1,144,390 in donations – our best year ever and 20%* higher than the previous fiscal year. We granted $1,143,666 to grassroots organizations in 19 countries, which was 14%* more than the prior year. Any donor will ask: what is the impact of my donation? The results this year speak for themselves. One World provided education for 33,615 children, health care for 29,795 children, shelter for 2,693 children, and much more (see page 13). Christian and his wife, Irene, visit Rescue Junction of
Our cash position of $371,666 was the highest we have ever had in our People First Educational Charitable Trust in India history. $100,000 of that cash position is set aside in an emergency operating reserve, and it will not be spent for any purpose unless absolutely necessary. It has been our good fortune that we have never had to touch the operating reserves. And as always we strive to meet One World’s goals of maximizing funds to serve our Partners and minimizing expenses to run our organization. While we are in a strong financial position, we are far from done. Last summer I visited some of our Partners in India. The need for – and the potential benefits of – further investment was clear. Let's keep growing the One World community for the benefit of children worldwide! With thanks, Christian Stefansen Treasurer cstefansen@owcf.org

Events at One World Our innovative model ensures that 100% of funds raised by One World Champions go directly to our 40 grassroots Partners. To facilitate this model, One World hosts several fundraising events to meet our financial goals. The One World annual luncheon was held on October 11 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Union Square in San Francisco. Almost 400 people attended the luncheon and raised over $130,000. We especially thank this year’s inspiring panelists, Karim Ajania, Rucha Chitnis, Janet Greig, and Wanjiru Kamau-Rutenberg, and event chair, Chitra Rajeshwari. Several exclusive Founders’ Circle events were held this year. Kusoma International was featured at a private event in a home in Atherton with almost 40 people attending. Sangai Mohochi, founder of Kusoma was visiting from Kenya and presented with Champion Adam Brosamer on the latest news from Kenya, including plans for a new library for students. Founder of El Shadai in Uganda, Stephen Wante, was hosted at the home of Valerie and Kevin Erdman in Kentfield. Stephen was joined by Champions Linda Kenny, Olivia Lizotte, and Masha Maslova as they discussed the successes and challenges children at El Shadai face. The founder and director of Girls to Women, Pat Foster, hosted over 60 people in Atherton. Three students spoke to the group and described how the afterschool and mentoring programs afforded them opportunities they had only dreamed of before.
