OUR PROGRAMS

BEYOND LABELS - EVERY CHILD BEYOND A DIAGNOSIS 

Location: Central Ohio, including Union County and surrounding communities

Fundraising goal: $10,000

Beyond Labels helps families, educators, and communities recognize children's strengths, abilities, and support needs beyond diagnostic labels. It aims to empower parents through accessible educational resources, community conversations, awareness campaigns, and collaborative learning, using a strengths-based approach to neurodiversity and inclusive education.

Proposed first-year reach: 50 to 100 parents, caregivers, and educators directly, and an estimated 150 to 300 children, family members, and community members indirectly. These are preliminary planning targets, subject to funding, partnerships, and implementation.

Donations would support educational materials, community workshops, accessibility accommodations, outreach, and inclusive awareness activities.

Status: proposed community implementation and fundraising.

AL RAJEF - INCLUSIVE FUTURES FOR RURAL FAMILIES 

Location: Al Rajef, Ma'an Governorate, Jordan

Fundraising goal: $50,000

A local charitable organization established in 1999 supports children and adults with disabilities across three underserved villages. About 22 people take part in its activities, supported by three volunteer teachers. Transportation barriers, limited staffing, and aging facilities limit how many families it can reach. This project would strengthen that existing community-led organization rather than create a parallel service.

Funding would aim to support early intervention and inclusive education, teacher and program support, transportation and home visits, accessibility and facility rehabilitation, vocational skills and livelihoods, and organizational capacity.

Status: fundraising goal. Additional beneficiaries are subject to local assessment.

AL RAJEF - WATER FOR LIVELIHOODS 

Location: Al Rajef, Ma'an Governorate, Jordan

Fundraising goal: $35,000

Local farmers and community members built a community-supported irrigation system through their own initiative and contributions. Keeping it running requires ongoing repairs and maintenance. This project would strengthen that existing solution.

Funding would aim to support irrigation infrastructure rehabilitation, maintenance and equipment, water management, smallholder farmer support, climate resilience, and community ownership.

Status: fundraising goal. The number of farms and households reached will be confirmed with community representatives during planning.

SOLUTIONS BY HER - WOMEN LEADING LOCAL CHANGE 

Location: Rural and underserved communities internationally, with potential partnerships in Jordan and Africa

Fundraising goal: $90,000

Women in rural and underserved communities often lead solutions to community challenges, yet their work is frequently underfunded. Solutions by Her would work with local organizations and women leaders to build on existing skills, enterprises, and community priorities.

Funding would aim to support women's livelihoods and entrepreneurship, skills development, small-scale enterprise support, market access, local organizational capacity, leadership and community participation, and learning and sustainability.

Status: proposed initiative. Partners and beneficiary targets will be set with implementing partners.
