Campaign for U.N. Reform
http://www.cunr.org/
The vision of the Campaign for United Nations Reform is an effective,
democratic, and accountable United Nations system able to fulfill
the goals set forth in the preamble of its Charter. These goals
include preventing war, protecting fundamental human rights, establishing
conditions for justice and respect for international law, and
promoting social progress with sustainable standards of living.
The mission of the Campaign for United Nations Reform is to build
political will within the United States to promote a more democratic,
accountable, and transparent U.N.system; and to increase the resources
and authority needed by the U.N. system to achieve the goals set
forth in its Charter. Recognizing that U.S. support is essential
if the U.N.
system is to be strengthened, the role of the Campaign for U.N.
Reform is to lobby the U.S. Congress and Administration to take
actions to achieve these goals, to make advocacy of a strengthened
U.N. system an election issue, and to support the election and
appointment of officials who share our vision.

GOAL
http://www.goal.ie
In 1977 Dublin sports journalists John O'Shea and four friends
decided to set up an aid organisation dedicated to helping the
poorest of the poor across the developing world. By 1984 GOAL
medical teams were working at the frontline of the terrible famines
in Ethiopia and Sudan. Over the years, worse was to come. In Somalia,
GOAL worked to fight the deadly combination of war and famine.
Since then, GOAL has been there to pick up the pieces after civil
war in Angola and Liberia, to care for the flood of Rwandan refugees
stranded in Tanzania and Zaire, and to help rehouse the devastated
citizens of Gorazde in Bosnia. Since 1997 GOAL has sent nearly
600 volunteers to over twenty countries in Africa, Asia and Eastern
Europe and has spent nearly $50 million. Our mission is the same
as it was in 1977, to help the poorest of the poor. Sadly, we
are as badly needed now as we were then. GOAL's ethos is simple.
We believe that every human being has the right to the fundamentals
of life, food, water, shelter, healthcare and literacy. Throughout
the Third World, people are dying for want of those basic rights.
Our mission is to respond quickly and efficiently with emergency
supplies. We believe that the money we collect must be spent directly
on the people who need it most. To do that, we keep our administration
costs to a bare minimum. We also believe it is essential to train
local people so that they can continue to provide healthcare and
other services long after GOAL has left the country.

Grameen Bank (GB)
http://www.grameen.com/
Grameen Bank (GB) has reversed conventional banking practice
by removing the need for collateral and created a banking system
based on mutual trust, accountability, participation and creativity.
GB provides credit to the poorest of the poor in rural Bangladesh,
without any collateral. At GB, credit is the poverty and it serves
as a catalyst in the over all development of socio-economic conditions
of the poor who have been kept outside the banking orbit on the
ground that they are poor and hence not bankable. Professor Muhammad
Yunus, the founder of "Grameen Bank" and its Managing
Director, reasoned that if financial resources can be made available
to the poor people on terms and conditions that are appropriate
and reasonable, "these millions of small people with their
millions of small pursuits can add up to create the biggest development
wonder".

Refugees International
http://www.refintl.org/
Refugees International (Washington, DC, USA). Founded in 1979
in response to the forced repatriation of thousands of Cambodian
and Vietnamese refugees, Refugees International (RI) provides
early warning in crises of mass exodus. It seeks to serve as the
advocate of the unrepresented -- the refugee. In recent years,
Refugees International has moved from its initial focus on Indochinese
refugees to global coverage, conducting almost 30 emergency missions
in the last four years. We have answered the emergency calls of
Kurds stranded along the mountainous Turkish border; Burmese forced
to flee to Bangladesh; war victims in Bosnia; Africans fleeing
strife and famine in Liberia, Ethiopia, and Somalia; and Rwandans
surging into Tanzania and Zaire. The organization mixes quiet
diplomacy and the power of the press to mobilize governments and
engage the UN. Our on-the-ground emergency assessment paves the
way for relief agencies and human rights organizations to step
in with life saving measures.
