Soul Fire Farm is located on 80 acres of land that historically was stewarded by the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of the Mohican Nation. Its work focuses on providing equity in access to land, sustenance, and power in the food system, and to reverse industrial agriculture’s harm to the planet and vulnerable communities.

Soul Fire Farm uses multiple historical and modern methods to regenerate 80 acres of mountainside land, producing fruits, plant medicine, pasture-raised livestock, honey, mushrooms, vegetables, and preserves for community provisions. The majority of the harvest provided from its land is used to support people living under food apartheid and targeted by state violence.

Part of the work of Soul Fire Farm involves reconnecting youth to their innate belonging to the land and restoring a sense of empowerment in the food system. The organization offers one-day workshops for youth and inter-generational groups and makes educational curricula available for the classroom.

Despite billions spent on safe water solutions, roughly 1 out of 5 systems in developing markets fail within a few years. Two billion people still do not have access to safely managed water. Safe Water Network’s response to this crisis combines three strategic program areas, directly establishing water stations in partnership with local communities, building capacity of other implementing organizations, and facilitating global collaboration. This approach brings together the public and private sectors to overcome the challenges of keeping safe water flowing sustainably for all.

The mission of Safe Water Network is to reach millions in underserved communities by developing affordable, equitable solutions and accelerate access by providing technical assistance and catalyzing sector-wide collaboration. Working within communities and a philosophy of continuous innovation helps the nonprofit assess local needs and to fine-tune solutions that fit each area best.

Safe Water Network is changing lives for children in Ghana and India by ensuring they have time to go to school and are less susceptible to waterborne illnesses because of access to safe water. The nonprofit is providing technical support for the Government of India’s national policy to bring piped water to every family. In Ghana, Safe Water Network is pioneering a micro-utility model with local authorities and the Government of Ghana’s rural water agency (CWSA) that brings piped water to every family’s home, as well as their school, clinic, and business in each community with a station.
