Hurricane Dorian, which hit the northern Bahamas as one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record, has caused extreme destruction on the Grand Bahama and Abaco Islands and has killed at least five people there. Evacuations have been ordered for parts of Florida, Georgia and South Carolina as the Hurricane continues to move northward toward the U.S. Draper and Bright Funds have established the Hurricane Dorian Disaster Response and Recovery Fund, which is comprised of pre-vetted nonprofits providing on-the-ground disaster response in the region. Through a single tax deductible donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations’ initiatives to provide short- and long-term response and recovery to those affected by Hurricane Dorian. The composition of nonprofits in this Fund is subject to change as we learn more about the most pressing needs of those affected on the ground.

The Council of Refugee Women in Bulgaria helps all refugees and asylum seekers in the process of their integration in the Bulgarian society. In this sense, the Council is organizing their annual initiative "Welcome to the Bulgarian School", which has the goal of providing equal access to Bulgarian education for the refugee children living in Bulgaria. The campaign is an annual initiative of the Council of Refugee Women in Bulgaria (CRWB) for the duration 15.08.2019 until 30.09.2019. It has the goal to provide equal access to education for refugee children, who start or continue their education in Bulgaria. One of the main functions of CRWB is to support integration through education. Notably, the children are those, who are able to learn Bulgarian language quickly, to make friendships easily, to adapt effectively to a new environment and to identify their meaningful place in our society. These processes are possible only when they are able to attend school on an equal basis with the Bulgarian children. Join me in supporting this tremendous initiative by donating to the organization, so that the necessary school supplies and items can be procured in time for the start of the new school year!

Hurricane Dorian made landfall in Florida, North Carolina, parts of the Eastern Seaboard, and Nova Scotia, but peaked as a Category 5 hurricane while hovering over the Bahamas for more than 2 days, leaving utter devastation in its wake. The Bahamian government is estimating that 3 out of 4 homes have been damaged or destroyed, with more than 70,000 people now homeless, thousands more missing, and a rising death toll. Bright Funds has established the Hurricane Dorian Disaster Response and Recovery Fund, which is comprised of pre-vetted nonprofits providing on-the-ground disaster response in the region. We have selected organizations that are on the ground assisting with immediate relief needs, including rescue efforts, medical assistance, and providing food/water. Through a single donation to the Fund, you can support multiple organizations’ initiatives to provide short-term and long-term response and recovery. The composition of nonprofits in this Fund is subject to change as we learn more about the most pressing needs of those affected on the ground.

Join Casper in providing critical support to Amazon rainforest conservation efforts. Thousands of fires burning across the Amazon rainforest have captured international attention over the past week. Experts point to deforestation as the cause, which is often carried out illegally and which removed over three times as much forest last month as in July 2018. Fires have been reported in the Brazilian states of Amazonas, Rondonia, Para and Mato Grosso. At least 305 indigenous groups live in the Amazon that depend on the forest and rivers for food and shelter. But the effects of damage to the Amazon go far beyond Brazil and its neighbors. The area's rainforest generates more than 20% of the world's oxygen and is home to 10% of the world's known biodiversity. The Amazon is referred to as the "lungs of the planet" and plays a major role in regulating the climate. Greenpeace has stated that as the number of fires increase, greenhouse emissions do, too. The world would drastically change if the rainforest were to disappear, with impacts on everything from farms to drinking water. The organizations included in the Fund address immediate measures to combat the current crisis and harm to indigenous communities, as well as long term initiatives to combat climate change and to advocate against pro-development policies that have relaxed the enforcement of laws against deforestation and have encouraged mining and farming across biological reserves and indigenous territories.

The Amazon is burning. Almost 73,000 fires have been recorded in the Amazon rainforest this year – nearly double the number for the whole of 2018.

TL:DR; Families that live in extreme poverty often see school as an impossible cost. Because parents have not experienced the increases in earnings, quality of life, and personal dignity that come from education, they don't know what they are missing by pulling a child out of school to work instead.

The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world and vital to combating climate change. Nearly 73,000 wildfires have decimated the Amazon rainforest this year, a record amount for an ecosystem that produces a remarkable amount of Earth's oxygen. GitHub Created the Amazon Wildfires Relief Fund to assist with providing aid to help save the Amazon.

The Amazon is currently facing record-breaking wildfires with the number of fires in Brazil being 80% higher than last year. More than half are in the Amazon region, spelling disaster for the local environment and ecology. Two states in the Amazon have already declared state of emergency: Acre and Amazonas. Brazil's environmental agency IBAMA is hiring hundreds of temporary firefighters to help fight the fires.

The Equal Access to Education Fund is a collection of organizations that impactfully address the lack of access to quality education faced by children living in poverty in the U.S. and abroad. Increasing access to education not only provides a pathway out of poverty for children, but grows economies and improves the health and longevity of communities. The nonprofits featured in the Fund seek to alleviate some of the most significant barriers to education worldwide, including low literacy rates, gender discrimination, a lack of adequately trained teachers, and a lack of funding for classrooms and learning materials.
