Jonathan Miller founded World Without Water to provide clean, safe drinking water around the globe. The organization relies on volunteers from various backgrounds to raise funds through donations and their professional skills. These funds are used to coordinate and monitor local water projects managed by governments and municipalities. Their goals are to expand access to clean water to more people each year. With Miller's experience in business and non-profits, they use various resources and modern media to promote their mission and work with communities to install wells, filters, and water systems through an efficient volunteer model.

Green Empowerment: Background and Partners
Green Empowerment develops renewable energy and clean water delivery systems in Latin America and Southeast Asia through partnerships with local NGOs. They collaborate with rural communities to address socio-economic needs and restore the environment. Their model involves local NGO partners providing feasibility studies, equipment, training, and long-term technical support to communities to empower them and promote sustainability.
Rebuilding After Emergencies: Some Comments
The document discusses factors that affect recovery after natural disasters, using examples from Aceh, Indonesia after the 2004 tsunami. It finds that:
1) Massive aid can help rebuild physical capital like housing quickly but also introduces outside influences that change village life.
2) Aid was largely uncoordinated, with many NGOs competing and little oversight, affecting recovery trajectories across villages.
3) The type of aid agency, whether it was also the donor or just an implementer, affected the quality and sustainability of rebuilding efforts and level of community participation.
4) Introducing elections for village heads after the disaster shifted power from elites and was correlated with less community volunteerism in rebuilding

單車烏托邦
首先，我們每天都會看到很多單車騎士，通勤族、菜籃族、公路車騎士、單速車文青，他們在我們的眼中可能就是不同單車類型的消費者，可是Aldred卻試圖以「單車公民權」（cycle citizenship）這概念把「消費政治化」（P.3），為什麼？
然後，順著這思路，Wickman為什麼認為不同的交通模式能開啟不同類型的公共空間、社會互動，從而連結不同的公民權（P.8）？請試著以這思路重讀Montgomery所提到波哥大BRT與路面設計的例子。
接著，Aldred從環境意識、自我照顧、扎根地方、社區連結四個面向討論劍橋這地方的單車騎士自我想像什麼才是一個好的單車騎士。那，你會怎麼看「好騎士，四原則」？台灣的好騎士法則又有哪些？
最後，Aldred認為一個單車友善、緊湊佈局的都市能讓單車騎士隨騎隨停隨行己意地將都市空間區分成不同的使用模式，但對一個不友善單車的城市來說，這改變如何可能？各位的提案可以做出什麼協助？從不「消費者公民權」（consumer citizenship）或「接近都市的權力」（right to the city）的概念來看，使用者在你們的專案中，是否有什麼被賦權（empower）的可能？
Appeal for Herbal Plantations 2008
The villagers of Charda Panchayat in Himachal Pradesh depend on collecting and selling wild herbs for survival. However, overexploitation has led to the disappearance of herbs from their area. With little farmland and few opportunities, they must travel long distances or migrate seasonally to find herbs. Lok Vigyan Kendra, an NGO, helped the villagers of Kut-Batoa village replenish their forests with herbs and establish protection mechanisms. This initiative has led to initial success and two more villages plan to start similar programs. The goal is to make these initiatives self-sustaining and expand to more villages to promote biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods.

Volunteers play an important role in stewardship of national forests in the South. In 2011, Wild South, an organization focused on protecting natural lands in the South, coordinated over 2,300 volunteer hours contributing $49,266.85 in in-kind services. Their projects include wilderness stewardship, trail maintenance, forest protection, and more. While facing challenges like agency changes and tight budgets, opportunities exist through partnerships with groups like the National Forest Foundation to increase volunteer-led stewardship of public lands.

Water/Economy: Michael Glade
This document summarizes a presentation about water and the future of the Canadian economy from a business perspective. It discusses global water facts showing shortages and lack of access. It also discusses a survey showing water is a top environmental concern. The document outlines Molson Coors' history and reliance on water, and its global water stewardship strategy to minimize risks to its operations, suppliers, brands and reputation from water issues. It emphasizes the importance of community engagement and tracking progress on water management. The document recommends Canadian businesses leverage lessons from others, create realistic water strategies supported from the top, and focus on communication.
Different directions: the farming dichotomy in Laos
This document discusses the dichotomy between traditional "green" and industrialized "brown" agriculture in Laos from three perspectives: agro-ecology, political-economy, and socio-cultural. It notes trends towards the expansion of brown agriculture and increasing mechanization, the promotion of export-driven industrial farms over small-scale agriculture, and the erosion of indigenous knowledge and farmer identities as more shift to wage labor. The document concludes that development efforts may need to shift focus from driving change to mitigating impacts, such as campaigns on chemical safety, strengthening farmer organizations, and improving nutrition for rural workers.
UWSJC Final Campaign Press Release-Kelsey Smith
The United Way of St. Joseph County raised a total of $3,032,615 for their 2010-2011 annual campaign, short of their $3.35 million goal. Nearly $37 million has been raised over the past 10 years. 98.5 cents of every donated dollar remained local to support programs for nearly 80,000 residents. The campaign also leveraged a $370,000 grant to fund education programs including tuition assistance for at-risk kindergarten students and a new career academy high school.

The document summarizes the findings of a climate change communication study conducted by BBC Media Action across 7 Asian countries. The study utilized over 33,500 structured interviews, 96 focus groups and 120 in-depth interviews to understand how people are experiencing climate change impacts. It identified key audience segments in each country and their communication needs. In Nepal, people reported changes in weather patterns, water availability and crop production. The largest segments were "Struggling" (45%) and "Adapting" (17%). The study aims to help design effective communication to build resilience among vulnerable communities.

Endangered species are competing with growing rural human populations for habitat and resources on private lands not protected by the government. Previous attempts to address this such as handouts, legislation, and enforcement have failed to create an equitable solution. African cities are expanding rapidly due to population growth and rural migration, but many cannot provide basic needs. This has led to overexploitation of natural resources for hundreds of miles around cities, negatively impacting rural communities and endangered species. If not addressed, rural areas without resources will become impoverished and potential hotspots for disease and conflict. Long-term solutions require political support for rural communities to protect environments and integrating biodiversity protection into development and aid discussions. Cities must also find sustainable ways to meet
Poverty group c3
Poverty is defined as the lack of income and resources to meet basic needs. Over 1 billion people live in absolute poverty according to the World Bank, with large populations in India and China. Poverty can be caused by lack of education, which limits job prospects, and overspending beyond one's means. Organizations like CARE aim to alleviate poverty by providing emergency aid, increasing economic opportunities through job training and loans, and improving access to clean water and sanitation. Poverty in other countries can negatively impact global trade and resources if disasters occur.

6.2 Leading the Way: Local Political Leadership for Ending Homelessness (Kayhan)National Alliance to End Homelessness
Local political leaders have been crucial in efforts to move communities toward a solutions-focused homelessness system. In doing so, they have convinced other local opinion leaders to make ending homelessness a top priority. Speakers will facilitate a robust discussion around why it’s important to get political leaders involved in the fight to end homelessness locally, how to do so, and the benefits for the community.Poverty Value Venture Group C3
Poverty is defined as the lack of income and resources to meet basic needs. The World Bank estimated 1.29 billion people lived in absolute poverty in 2008, with over 400 million in India and 173 million in China. Poverty can be caused by lack of education, which limits job opportunities, or from spending beyond one's means and accumulating debt. The organization CARE works to alleviate poverty through emergency relief, increasing economic opportunities like microloans and job training, and improving access to clean water and sanitation. Poverty in other countries can negatively impact global trade and resources if disasters strike economies that supply important goods worldwide.

Environmental sustainability is an important global issue as our planet's resources are limited and we must work to preserve the environment for future generations. On an individual level, the biggest impact can be made through lifestyle choices that minimize waste and carbon footprint, and by supporting local sustainable organizations and officials. Social media serves as an effective tool to connect with others promoting environmentalism, spread awareness of key issues, and advocate for a healthier environment.

Relif india trust organization
Relief IndiaTrust is a nonprofit organization that helps children with AIDS in India. They operate telephone hotlines around the clock to quickly assist mothers and children in need of medical care. The condition of the mothers and children varies - sometimes the mother's condition is so bad that she may not survive childbirth, or the child may have already passed away. Relief IndiaTrust also runs environmental conservation campaigns to promote alternatives to dirty energy sources and lobbies the government to pass green energy laws. As a nonprofit, it is governed by private citizens and relies on public donations to fund its welfare and aid programs for people living in poverty or with disabilities.
Collabor Aid Deck
CollaborAid aims to use the internet to better connect various stakeholders involved in alleviating global poverty such as social entrepreneurs, donors, NGOs, volunteers, journalists, and beneficiaries. By sharing information about local needs and ongoing projects, the platform hopes to help stakeholders coordinate their efforts, reduce redundancy, and increase donor confidence that their contributions create sustainable impact. The organization's long term goal is to establish a social enterprise that leverages this coordination to more effectively fight poverty.
Hearth Presentation V12
This document discusses the Hearth Outreach Program, which aims to end homelessness among elders in Boston. It notes that homelessness has increased significantly among elders, with 1 in 5 elders in Boston living below the poverty line. The program focuses on connecting homeless elders to housing and support services over 14-24 months. This includes helping elders search for housing, obtain necessary social services, and stabilize once housed. The program has successfully housed and assisted over 1,000 and 3,000 elders, respectively, with over 96% maintaining housing for over a year. The program aims to expand to serve 350-400 elders annually while maintaining quality. It requests $370,000 over two years to achieve these goals.
Community action in facaa updated
This document discusses growing economic inequality and the resulting protests. It highlights various advocacy groups fighting for unions, jobs, reduced healthcare and utility costs. It argues that without programs to help low-income citizens, many will face evictions, hunger and utility shut-offs. It encourages readers to get involved through advocacy, volunteering, donations and becoming board members to help local community action agencies that are fighting poverty.
Effects of Urbanisation in India
Rural-urban migration leads to downward and upward spirals in the places people leave and go to. In areas with outmigration, a downward spiral results as young, skilled people leave, taking jobs and money with them and leaving older, unskilled residents behind unable to cause improvements. Meanwhile, areas with in-migration see an upward spiral as more money and jobs become available, causing businesses to boom and regions to develop quickly economically. However, cities often struggle to provide adequate housing and decent jobs for all migrants, leading to problems like illegal slums and useless occupations. Efforts like the Green Revolution aimed to invest in rural areas but faced problems of seeds and equipment failing while only benefiting wealthy farmers, perpetuating gaps
Building sustainable futures in Malawi
Project Malawi Luton aims to empower communities in Malawi to lift themselves out of poverty within a generation. As the 3rd poorest country with high mortality and malnutrition rates, Malawi faces major threats. The project develops sustainable initiatives like fish farming, irrigation, and reforestation. It shares skills in areas like medicine, education, and infrastructure building. In 2010, the project visited many villages, conducted needs analyses, and invested in sustainable water projects that increased crop yields and provided clean water and food. In 2011, the goal is to set up a mobile clinic and educate communities to prevent illness.
Building relationships, building a town
There are big changes happening in the rural town of Hoffman, Minn. Just five years ago, Main Street storefronts stood empty and the population was in a steady decline. Now, local residents are actively working to build a vibrant, thriving community.

Water security - a useful concept? What is needed to achieve it? by Mike Mull...Global Water Partnership
Mike Muller discusses several key issues around water resource management at a conference in Colombo, Sri Lanka in February 2011. He notes that while there has been discussion of economics and hydrology, less attention has been paid to social issues and the livelihood challenges of irrigation. Institutions for water management have also not received much critical analysis and are often not achieving their goals. Muller questions whether the goals themselves need reexamining or if it is an issue of institutional design. He also examines the different meanings of "water security" and what goals water resource development and management should support. An example from Ethiopia shows the relationship between rainfall variation, overall GDP growth, and agricultural GDP growth.Committee on World Food Security (CFS) Policy Recommendations

The song of_the_bird_sas
A poet is asked by a friend to write an advertisement to sell his small farm. The poet writes a beautiful description of the farm that focuses on its natural beauty rather than material worth. When the friend reads the description, he realizes what a treasure he truly owns and decides not to sell the farm after all. The story illustrates how we often underestimate the good things we have and chase after false treasures, forgetting to appreciate the blessings in our lives.

Water and the Rotary-USAID International H2O Collaboration presentation
The document summarizes a presentation about the Rotary-USAID International H2O Collaboration partnership. It discusses the global issues of lack of access to clean water and sanitation. Over 900 million people lack access to clean drinking water and 2.5 billion lack basic sanitation. The partnership between Rotary and USAID aims to address these problems through collaborative projects in the Dominican Republic, Ghana, and Philippines. The projects focus on installing water systems, latrines, and hygiene training. The partnership represents a model of co-funding, co-designing, and co-managing development projects between non-profit and government organizations.
Clean Water and Sanitation
This document discusses clean water and sanitation. It notes that access to clean water is essential for survival and a foundation for thriving communities. While infrastructure improvements require government assistance, individuals can help by donating aid and raising awareness through social media. Social media has helped give attention to cities with unclean water and fundraising efforts, though it took Flint, Michigan five years of protesting and $400 million to receive clean water after their crisis received widespread coverage.

[Challenge:Future] Brown Water Civilization
The document discusses the growing problem of water pollution worldwide and proposes a multi-pronged solution. It suggests creating a fund to educate young professionals in developing countries about water treatment techniques. It also proposes establishing community water centers to oversee local sanitation projects and offering incentives for waste water treatment programs and good water management practices among communities and industries. The goal is to increase technical knowledge, encourage local initiatives, raise awareness from an early age, and incentivize sustainable practices to address water pollution issues.
Drops Brochure
Over 660 million people lack access to safe drinking water, resulting in over 840,000 deaths annually, especially among children. The water crisis disproportionately impacts developing nations and is considered the top global risk. Silent Crowd Drops aims to address this crisis by supplying water filters to communities in need, having already provided clean water access to 40,000 individuals across 15 countries. Their educational Drops program teaches students about the global water crisis and empowers them to fundraise and donate filters to impactful organizations to make a difference.
Rethinking Hydrophilanthropy
The document discusses the need for reform in the water and sanitation sector. It argues that the current approach focuses too much on charity rather than development, leading to high rates of project failure. Communities are expected to contribute through "sweat equity" but this does not create a sense of ownership and ensure long-term success. The CEO of Water For People calls for a new partnership between philanthropists and development agencies that leverages donations to instill financial responsibility in communities and governments. He advocates for new metrics that assess long-term functionality and sustainability beyond just counting initial access.
Rainmakers Power Point Final (2)

17-Sustainable-Developmental-Goals-16032022-081800pm.pptx
The document outlines the 17 Sustainable Development Goals including goals related to no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, decent work and economic growth, industry innovation and infrastructure, reducing inequality, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, life on land, peace justice and strong institutions, and partnerships for the goals. For each goal, it provides information on actions individuals can take, key facts, and why achieving each goal is important.
ELECTRONICA
The document discusses the causes and solutions to poor access to clean water and sanitation facilities. The key causes identified include unreliable rainfall damaging rural livelihoods and increasing urban migration, land scarcity in rural areas, and poverty among slum dwellers. Proposed solutions include increasing literacy and hygiene education, empowering rural economies, providing low-cost housing and sanitation, and utilizing technologies like solar distillation and water filtration. The implementation of these solutions is expected to raise literacy rates, increase awareness through NGO efforts, boost employment, and help more countries develop. Challenges remain around ensuring access to water for all given issues like pollution, inefficient distribution, and contamination.
water quality
Access to safe, clean water is one of the most serious environmental issues facing developing countries. Poor water quality causes 3 to 5 million deaths per year from diarrhea. Issues around water include inadequate and polluted drinking water supplies, floods, river siltation, and ineffective management of rivers and dams. Poverty, illiteracy, population growth, and weak institutions and policies make addressing water problems difficult. A strategy to improve rural water quality is installing hand pumps to access clean groundwater.
Social Responsibility Leadership
This document discusses various approaches to corporate social responsibility (CSR). It describes different types of organizations - Corporate B Corps that consider people, planet and profit equally; and non-profits focused on social missions. It provides examples of companies like Google that implement environmental initiatives while also discussing outliers like Patagonia and its founder Yvon Chouinard who are highly invested in sustainability. It explores challenges like balancing brand and profit with CSR and how democratization can help influence social causes.
Sustainable goals 2020 otc
This document outlines 17 sustainable development goals including:
1) No Poverty - Promote inclusive economic growth and equality.
2) Zero Hunger - Support local farmers and waste less food to end hunger and poverty.
3) Good Health and Well-Being - Ensure healthy lives and well-being for all through vaccination.
4) Quality Education - Obtaining quality education improves lives; help educate local children.
Rural Urban Migration Ledc
Rapid urbanization is occurring in cities in less economically developed countries (LEDCs) due to rural-urban migration. This causes megacities and expansion of informal settlements known as shanty towns. Rio de Janeiro is used as a case study, where rapid growth has caused issues like lack of adequate housing, sanitation problems, and increased crime. Solutions implemented in favelas like Rocinha include self-help housing schemes providing materials for residents to upgrade homes.
Ensuring environmental stability
Ensuring environmental stability is necessary for humanity and all life on Earth. The author argues that clean drinking water should be a basic human right everywhere. While some progress has been made in providing access to clean water, places like Flint, Michigan still lack this basic necessity. As individuals, voting for representatives who prioritize environmental issues and donating to relevant organizations can help contribute to stability. Social media allows people to raise awareness of environmental problems and alert others to disasters through hashtags and geotagging.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
