Letter from the Board Chair What a thrill for me to be writing to you for this report on One World’s 14th year. I have been part of the One World community and family since 2006 at the very moment I met the founders – Michael, Savitri and Shanti. Their story was compelling, their model unique and the organization beginning its path to something more than the three could have imagined. I look forward to celebrating our 15th Anniversary and building the next legacy together in 2015. In addition to being on the board I have chaired the Program Committee which provided the opportunity to meet potential champions and to explore with them their possible partnership with One World. Getting to know our partners from around the world, watching them grow, helping them face challenges and learning from them has been an enriching and incredible addition to my life. I look forward to continuing to learn, to help a very strong board lead One World into its next strategic plan and its bright future.

Christian Stefansen, our treasurer does a splendid job of sharing our financial and organizational progress, do read his summary in this report. I on the other hand, want simply to thank you for your support of our collective work – for we could not do what we do without you. Your support may come in the form of volunteered hours and giving of your precious time, sharing your talents and/or expertise or sending us financial support. All are tangible gifts and important to our continued success. Your financial support has allowed us to hire full time our Program manager, Katie Boswell. Our champions and partners are already benefiting from her increased availability. Steph Allie Heckman is beginning her fourth year of leadership for our global team and Stephanie Judkins continues manages our records and office as she has for the past 7 years. We could not do any of this without you – that is the bottom line. With gratitude, Janet Greig Board Chair | janet@owcf.org One World Children’s Fund 2014 Annual Report

Letter from the Executive Director Fifteen years ago, three compassionate and caring individuals had a vision – to create a world where we act together to ensure every child has education, health, and a safe home. Fast forward 15 years and today One World Children’s Fund represents a global community of thousands of individuals who have raised more than $6 million for over 40 grassroots organizations, and served more than 500,000 children in 21 countries.
Steph Allie Heckman speaking at the Annual Luncheon in San Francisco
This annual report is dedicated to the vision of our founders Michael Kilgroe, Patricia Savitri Burbank, and Shanti Cliff. Michael and Savitri courageously stepped down from the Board of Directors this year. Still deeply committed to the mission and work of One World, they continue to serve on the Advisory Council and lead the Founders’ Circle. I thank them especially for their generous and heartfelt support, and their belief in the One World team to bring their vision to life, as their role in the organization transitions. 2014 was an incredible year for One World. We increased to 40+ partners. 75+ One World champions raised close to $1 million. We expanded into new countries such as Burkina Faso, Jamaica, and the Philippines. And ultimately, the One World family served more than 100,000 children. I thank the partners, champions, board of directors, staff, advisory council, volunteers, interns, committee members, founders’ circle members, our many generous donors, and the incredible communities; the women, men, and children, who we partner with across the globe. Together, we are bound in our sense of humanity and compassion. Thank you. Steph “Allie” Heckman Executive Director | steph.heckman@owcf.org One World Children’s Fund 2014 Annual Report

SHELTER – Responding to the Devastating Floods in Pakistan By Huma Zafar, One World Champion for Mubarika School in Pakistan
“I met a woman in Karachi in my travels. She was sitting on the street of an old marketplace eating half a roti (dried piece of bread) that she had picked up from the floor. As I walked by she smiled at me and asked me, “Child would you like to share, you’re so weak, here eat this.” I smiled back and said, “No thank you, why don’t you eat and I get us both a cup of tea”. I sat on the floor and shared a cup of tea with this woman. She dipped her dry bread in the tea and said God Bless You. I asked her where she was from because her accent was from Punjab (Central Pakistan) and she was sitting in Sindh (Southern Pakistan) and that is when the tears rolled and she shared how her village (near Mubarika) had drowned in the floods of July 2014. I tried to offer her some money. She refused to take it. Her response was, “I’m not a beggar.” She inspired me to look into this village and I got in touch with Farmer’s Development Organization, a local NGO that works to support local farmers and her story was correct. Mubarika school was flooded as well, but not as badly damaged as this village. We gathered funds locally in Pakistan and decided to reach out to these people through the Mubarika School Foundation and transform their lives. We raised $3000 in one day and work began the next day. For the last three months, we’ve laid the foundation of solid homes, food has been delivered and in addition we’re now looking at a water management system to provide them clean drinking water. I got in touch with Provincial Disaster Management Authority to discuss Early Warning Systems and the best way to reach these people since floods will hit again next year and we’ve only made their homes resilient not their lives. Similarly, these efforts were then recreated in Tharparkar (rural Sindh) where the famine had destroyed a lot of livestock and families were in need of support. We provided similar needs to help support their development as well. The impact can be described in very simple words. When the children started to eat, the parents wept in gratitude. Their heartfelt tears of gratitude for lending them a hand, those tears were the impact. We gave them a new start to their lives. “ Huma Zafar raised $18,000 for 500 students of Mubarika School in addition to the $3000 flood response fund. One World Children’s Fund 2014 Annual Report

HEALTH - Locally Led Work to Improve Healthcare in Uganda By Dr. Robert Kalyesubula, Founder of ACCESS in Uganda “I lost my father and got separated from my mother at the age of 8 years. I was later taken to an orphanage where I grew up and was supported to become a doctor. I was well mentored and I would like to give back to my community. In every small vulnerable child I see a lot of potential. Who knows? They could be another doctor, lawyer, teacher even presidents waiting to be nurtured and supported. So I founded ACCESS with a group of community members about 12 years ago. It was formed to address the needs of the community, and so we initially set out to treat patients with HIV-AIDS, but later evolved to support orphans and other vulnerable children left in the wake of this epidemic. We have impacted over 50,000 people with direct support to 225 orphans through scholastic materials, food, shelter, education, medical care and income generation activities. We have trained over 200 nursing assistants most of whom have remained to provide primary health care in rural settings in Uganda. We have also established a network of community health volunteers who work in 81 villages following up all our project activities, counseling patients and ensuring that they adhere to their drugs, and also ensure that orphans go to school and stay healthy too. We also have provided direct medical services to close to 7,000 patients per year who walk through our clinic or are seen through outreach programs, family planning, immunization and nutritional support. (I am inspired to continue this work by) the support I receive from all corners of the world. I have such joy in seeing a lot of women and children get a better chance in life and become better people that influence their communities. I also am inspired when I see children go to school from ramshackle houses, when I see our first supported students graduate and take on a mantle to serve their communities. I constantly receive calls from some of our trained nursing assistants who now have jobs and can support their families. I see girls who had dropped out of school, going for higher education and becoming advocates for children. I see children living positively with HIV and reaching out to their communities. I could not ask God for more!� One World Champion, Erin Shaw, has already raised more than $50,000. ACCESS plans to open a nursing training facility in 2015.

EDUCATION – Youth Leaders in Timor-Leste By Katie Boswell, One World Program Manager Lorenço Soares – known as Martinho or Mau Tinu to his friends – is 20 years old and is about to enter his final year of high school. He is fluent in at least five languages - Makasae, Meto, Tetum, Bahasa and Portuguese. Martinho lives in the Topu Honis boarding house in the coastal town of Mahata, where the older children live and attend school. The children are supported by a staff of house mothers and cooks, but they organize themselves through a committee and Martinho was elected as the committee’s leader. During a site visit in July 2014, I sat down and talked with Martinho and learned more about this multi-talented young man who now leads the youth committee at Topu Honis in Timor-Leste. The interview was conducted in the sixth language he is now learning- English! Q: How has Topu Honis supported you? “When I was still a baby, my mother died and my father remarried. I came to Oecusse from Baucau in 2003. Topu Honis provides everything – food, clothes, school, play. Father Richard is like my father. Topu Honis is like a family.” Q: What is your role in Topu Honis Mahata? “I am in charge of the day-to-day running of Topu Honis Mahata. We help staff with cooking and cleaning and we all wash our own clothes – girls and boys. We organize ourselves to go to school.” Q: Why is school important to you? “For me, I am alone – I do not have a mother and father to care for me. After school, I would like to go to university and when I finish university I want to get a job in a shop or an office. I want to live in Oecusse in my own house and have a good job.”
Martinho at Topu Honis
Q: What is your favorite thing to do when you are not in school? “I like to do sports – football and volleyball. I also run on the beach and swim in the sea.” One World Champion, Cate Johnson raised $7,500 for Topu Honis in 2014, providing more than 100 children with education and a safe home.

Letter from the Treasurer I continue to be impressed by One World and the Champion model. 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 2014 brought in $1,264,608 in donations. Champions raised more than $938,000 and we granted $634,394 to grassroots organizations in 21+ countries. Any donor will ask: what is the impact of my donation? The results this year speak for themselves. One World provided education for children, health care for children, shelter for children, and much more (see page 16). Our cash position of $676,234 was the highest we have ever had in our 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. 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 year, One World staff visited our Partners in Panama, Timor-Leste, Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya. 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!

Partner Spotlight - P.E.T.I.S.O.S in Argentina Fundación P.E.T.I.S.O.S. exists to prevent the abuse of children's rights. By working with children and adolescents in vulnerable situations, P.E.T.I.S.O.S. seeks to reclaim and restore their violated rights. Earlier this year, One World interns from the University of San Francisco sat down with P.E.T.I.S.O.S. Founder, Elena Duron, to find out what inspires her to help the children of Argentina. Intern: In what ways does the organization impact or influence your community? Elena: We work with more than 500 children and adolescents annually in three cities in Argentina, as well as with their families and schools. We offer accompaniment to their academics and provide them with the opportunity to participate in distinct spaces and workshops of reflection and action of their rights. With this, we involve and empower in order to be part of a global movement to improve childhood. We also work to fortify state institutions that work to protect children. One World Intern: What motivates you to continue serving this community? Elena: We know that our work doesn't necessarily produce immediate results. We know that we are working for the future children and grandchildren of these kids that we see day to day. The necessary profound changes in the structures are an important motivation. There is a lot to do and every change involves beginnings and many steps. One World Intern: Are you ever inspired by the people served by the organization - if so how? Elena: Each day I find inspiration from the children. I consider it an honor to be able to accompany their lives and support them however I am able, in order to improve their situation. The boys and girls are very strong, a lot stronger than we can imagine, and they teach us daily about the particular form in which they see the world. We learn from them, and they learn from us from communicating in the simplest of ways, through honesty and joy. One World Intern: What is the best thing about working with One World? Elena: The community of One World is very inclusive, personable, and always supports us as we move forward in projects that seem like dreams at first, but with the help from many different sources we join forces to make this world better.

Athletic scholarships for children

Champion Spotlight - Marian Schinske in USA By Marian Schinske, Founder and Champion of NovatoSpirit in California, which provides athletic scholarships in karate, dance, soccer, and more for children living in poverty. “Recently I was asked why I created NovatoSpirit which awards athletic scholarships to children. After thinking about it, I realized that NovatoSpirit was the answer to a question I’d asked myself repeatedly. The question was: “How can I help?” The year was 2005, an unremarkable and uncertain year for me. I had been looking for employment for several months in the education and nonprofit sectors, and had not gotten any job offers. I was, however, grateful and happy to be the mother of an energetic and bright 5-year-old boy. For his birthday present, he wanted to take karate lessons. So I signed him up at the White Tiger School of Karate with Mr. Ito, in downtown Novato, and he began to kick gleefully around the dojo. There were many children however, pressing their faces against the panes, who did not enter. Their parents had looked at the karate fee schedule and had decided that karate was beyond the family’s financial reach. Those children were led away, dragging their feet. Watching this scenario day after day saddened me. I wondered if I could find a way to help these kids learn karate. Novato is blessed with many after-school athletic and dance programs. So, I visited several sports programs, and found some teachers who were masters, not just because they were highly skilled. Like Mr. Ito, they were devoted to helping kids progress in the largest sense of the word. The children that are awarded athletic scholarships see that by exercising regularly, practicing moves again and again, they can spark the causes of increased physical and mental health. We offer our athletic scholarships to children for 5 years, so they can boost their physical and mental fitness, bond with their teachers, and make new friends. NovatoSpirit’s partnership with One World Children’s Fund is a precious gift. NovatoSpirit’s Board of Directors and I deeply appreciate having the opportunity to learn from One World how to better serve children living in poverty.” One World Children’s Fund 2014 Annual Report
