Our Partners
These are the organisations we partner with: locally run, pioneering, innovative, impactful, and a direct answer to the challenges of poverty and environmental damage.
One of our core criteria is to develop mutual
and meaningful relationships with our partner, and as a result we can guarantee
that any donated funds will go directly to those who need it.
NB 10% of donations go towards UK operations, but this directly supports our partners and their projects through campaigning, marketing, fund-raising etc.

Amichoco & The Green Gold Corporation
Miners’ cooperatives delivering Fair Trade Gold for Cred Jewellery, Colombia. The Green Gold Corporation is a group of organisations committed to delivering quality gold whilst getting a fair deal for workers, their communities, and the environment.
The Cred Foundation supports 'Amichoco', a charitable partner of Green Gold, in delivering a Rainforest Reforestation Programme (in one of the most bio-diverse regions in the world) and a Livelihoods Programme (providing miners’ families with livestock for food & sale). We also support their Community Education Programme.
Integrated Holistic Urban Development Project (IHA-UDP)
An all-inclusive community development project in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Currently reaching 40,000 people in the slum areas of the city, their innovative work is an example of communities taking responsibility for themselves.
We support their Education Sponsorship and Special Needs Provision, not only giving the poorest and most vulnerable children an education, but also a good meal, health screening, and the chance to escape the poverty trap. We’ve also helped to establish a Jewellers’ cooperative with IHA-UDP, enabling local jewellers to work safely and sustainably.
Women at Risk (WAR)
Rehabilitation & employment package for female sex workers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Boasting an astounding 94% success rate, WAR has also been replicated in other cities in Ethiopia. A 12-month programme gives women the opportunity for counselling & therapeutic intervention, but also equips them with practical skills so that they can set up their own businesses or gain employment
We have seed-funded one of WAR’s major business enterprises, Café Chocolata and are investing in their HIV/AIDS training, treatment & care.
The Sahara Centre
Drugs rehabilitation & health programmes. Describing themselves as a 'therapeutic transitional community', they currently operate 36 projects in 5 cities across India and serve approximately 300,000 people a year! Their approach, based on treating people with essential dignity and respect, has seen remarkable results and has attracted international attention and acclaim.
We support a Men’s Rehab Centre, a Hospice, and a Trafficked Women & Children’s Home.
FIAM
A charity that supports more than 60 communities in an area of India largely neglected by mainstream funding, delivering effective interventions in health, sanitation, education & community development.
We are working with UK organisation ‘Emerging Culture’ to seed fund an innovative facility that will deliver primary health care, community training, and orphan care.
