Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Our main problem or concern is trying to get the needed and necessary funding in order to keep up with our responsibilities as an organization that truly cares in what we are really doing and establishing our good faith that can be recognized around the world as an organization who can get through all odds no matter what.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Russia
IAM-CED.org discovered a non-profit organization in Russia named Rostok. Rostok is a charity that aims to integrate special needs children from orphanages in Russia back into society. The members of Rostok began their work in Belskoye Ustye orphanage in 2000. They registered the charity in January 2005 in order to implement a growing number of projects. Today, Rostok is made up of regional specialists: orphanage staff, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers and others, all convinced that the Russian orphanage system needs to be reformed.
UGANDA
AM-CED.org provides support and supplies to help girls who are under the care of Wakisa Ministries in Uganda. Wakisa Ministries is a Christian organization that helps empower young people to achieve their life long objectives in Uganda. Our organization engaged with Wakisa Ministries to help send young women to St. Michael's High School and further their education. IAM-CED.org pays for their High School tuition and school supplies.
MALAWI
IAM-CED.org seek to partner with local, non-governmental organizations that promote household-level permaculture and agroecology systems in Malawi through demonstration, education, outreach and advocacy.
The goal is to educate individuals and communities on how to improve nutrition, income generation and environmental health, in a country where 80% of the population are subsistence farmers.
Our collective vision is for all Malawian communities to have the ability and knowledge to creatively pursue their own path towards achieving food security and diversity, economic stability, and productive healthy environments.
NEPAL
IAM-CED.org is currently working with a non-profit organization in Nepal named AZEN (Active Citizen Nepal). AZEN promotes citizenship, excellence and a new generation of fresh thinking and action. The "Zen" in AZEN symbolizes a universal thought that teaches awakening of the self.
At this moment, IAM-CED.org and AZEN are supporting girls education in the Mugu district of Nepal. Dr. Manju Thapa Tuladhar, in charge of this project for AZEN, met with our organization at the NCDD Conference in San Francisco, CA in August 2006. She has been associated with IAM-CED.org since that time and we look forward to providing more help in the coming years.

INDIA
In India many children are hungry for food and in need of a safe place to sleep. Besides that they are also in need of a loving hug, a smile, a sense of belonging, an identity of their own, safety, and the most important of all 'Love'.
Susanne Eijlander, the founder of Beit Shalom and together with iam-ced.org, is helping Beit Shalom’s Mission, which is to rescue orphan children in India and restoring their childhoods by raising them to be good citizens and disciples.
