Obstetric fistula is the manifestation of entrenched societal and institutional inequity. Its persistence is a direct result of systems failing to serve women and girls. We exist to end obstetric fistula. We do this by building models of care that serve every woman, everywhere. We relentlessly challenge the systems of gender inequity that perpetuate fistula, and engage collaboratively with partner agencies to maximize and scale our impact. Using new technologies, and cutting-edge data collection tools, we will provide an unprecedented degree of transparency to the social impact sector, and transform global maternal health.

The mission of the US Veterans Hall of Fame is to pay public tribute to the men and women of prior military service who exemplify great character and excellence. The mission is to also house within our archives the stories of an exampled few: chosen by the public, who represent the missions, the passion, the stories and the memories of the majority of our brave service members. These stories will assist in educating the world of our rich military history that has paid for our freedoms. We will conduct ourselves as professionals and treat our veterans legacies with care, God's love and compassion as we seek to honor them properly.

For almost 80 years, the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Rescue Squad answered the call for help from the Bethesda-Chevy Chase, MD and Upper Northwest Washington, D.C. communities. The Rescue Squad is a valuable part of the community, providing security and peace of mind to residents and businesses, as well as visitors.  With 150 professionally-trained volunteers and staff -- men and women who respond to more than 8800 emergency calls per year--the Rescue Squad has gained national recognition for providing compassionate, life-saving services to the community. The Rescue Squad does not receive a regular appropriated budget from any government. Instead, it raises almost all of its revenue from individual donors, foundations, and businesses, as well as occasional state and federal grants.

Collateral Repair Project (CRP) was started in 2006 by two American women who worked hard to stop the US invasion of Iraq and grieved over the loss of innocent lives in their name. They wanted to establish an organization that allowed for a direct connection between citizens of coalition countries and innocent Iraqis who suffered from the consequences of war. They decided to set up Collateral Repair Project in Amman, Jordan, where many refugees were relocating. Much of CRP's early work was charity related, but as the organization grew it ran numerous programs focusing on community building, education and emergency aid. Activities have greatly expanded over the years and CRP now serves Jordanians as well as Iraqis and other nationals fleeing their countries' violence, particularly Syrians who are part of the huge refugee influx into Jordan. Our programs seek to restore dignity and community among displaced urban refugees as well as to ensure that their basic food and housing needs are met. CRP provides emergency assistance to hundreds of families through, in-kind aid, information and referral services, and a monthly food voucher program that provides eligible households with coupons to purchase fresh produce and groceries. CRP's Family Resource and Community Center offers many activities and learning opportunities to allow refugees to begin to re-build the communities they lost after fleeing their home countries. CRP's strengths include a wealth of knowledge about the refugee community in East Amman and strong relationships with the beneficiaries we serve. The community center is a place where many refugees, prohibited by Jordanian law from working, spend their days. Because of this, CRP has cultivated strong grassroots support from beneficiaries, many of whom go on to become volunteers, helping to assist their neighbors to access programs and services. CRP is located in Hashemi Shamali in East Amman. It is a registered 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit organization in the United States of America, and registered as an international organization with the Ministry of Social Development in Jordan.
