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 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

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 50
grassroots organizations, and served more than 500,000 children in 22 countries.
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 from 40 to 50 partners. 80 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.

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 for
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.

HEALTH - African Community Center for Social Sustainability (ACCESS )
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 ram shackle 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 – Topu Honis Family Home 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.”
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
chidlren with education and a safe home.

oud 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).
Our cash position of $371,666 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.
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

Protecting Children’s Rights
One World Children’s Fund 2014 Annual Report

Partners Spotlight - P.E.T.I.S.O.S 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 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
One World Children’s Fund 2014 Annual Report

Champion Spotlight - Marian Schinske
Marian Schinske is the Founder and Champion of NovatoSpirit in California, which provides
athletic scholarships in karate, dance, soccer, and basketball, 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.” Read the full article at owcf.org
