In the summer of 2007, Justin Miller, Zach Fallon, and Josh Titus, college students from the U.S., visited Kenya for the first time. There, they were confronted by the harsh realities of life for HIV-positive men and women. By God’s divine appointment, these friends were hosted during their trip by Cornel Onyango and Duncan Kimani. These two visionary Kenyans shared a similar passion and calling for the marginalized people group living with HIV/AIDS. Seeing the physical and spiritual needs of these suffering people, this team of college students and Kenyans set out to make an impact. The answer was simple: church. They believed that little Kenyan churches had the power to become caregivers and providers for Kenya’s HIV-positive population. They created a model that transformed churches into havens for HIV support, life counseling, and economic empowerment. This team of friends launched their first center, convinced that HIV does not have to be the end of life, but can be a beautiful opportunity for physical restoration and spiritual growth in Christ.

The Co-op Model Urban Recipe’s food co-ops for low income families provide a unique alternative to many traditional food-centered ministries. Under our model, each family we serve becomes a member of a 50 family food co-op that meets every other week and is convened completely by the members themselves. Because of the consistency and sense of ownership the model offers, co-ops that are created to provide food security for those in need have become a place where relationships are formed, dignity is affirmed and community is strengthened. A Typical Day… Members arrive at their appointed hour, check in with the treasurer and contribute a small programming fee. These funds are never used for food. They may be used for fuel or insurance for our delivery truck or for a special need that the co-op members vote to determine. Members then pitch in to unload the truck, set up the room, sort the food or simply visit with other food co-op members. A meeting is then held which the members control. The meetings typically include a devotional time, community announcements and at times, speakers. Then boxes are distributed and members leave until they gather again in two weeks.

(404) 524-5999

Georgia Women’s Action for New Directions (WAND) is an independent grassroots, woman-led organization that seeks to direct women's voices into a powerful movement for social change. WAND was established in 1982 by Helen Caldicott, long-time anti-nuclear activist and founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility. Atlanta WAND, the only Georgia Southeast chapter, was established a few years later in 1984. The name was later changed to Georgia Women's Action for New Directions as our membership grew and our impact was felt statewide. Georgia WAND has a diverse state and regional membership; weekly communications and an “alerts” network; a professional staff of four and a tight working relationship with National WAND and the Women’s Legislators Lobby (WiLL). Georgia WAND’s entire program focus is devoted to progressive social change. The chapter is recognized as a bridge-building organization and a key coalition partner of the progressive community in Atlanta and the Southeast. Our chapter is well-positioned because of our coalition-building in Georgia’s political epicenter, which has the largest concentration of progressive activists and voters in the southeast. We have strong alliances with, and the respect of, civil rights leaders, labor leaders, students, people of faith, health advocates, environmental justice advocates, and women’s organizations. We have a diverse board of directors, an accomplished and dedicated advisory board, and an active supportive base of over 2,500. Our collaborative programs are designed for sustainable change, capacity building in communities and engagement in co-designed initiatives. Georgia WAND’s outreach efforts cross class, cultural, and racial boundaries. They include but are not limited to working with Concerned Black Clergy, Eco-Action, Southern Truth and Reconciliation, The Coalition for the Peoples’ Agenda, Georgia Rural Urban Summit and the Georgia Peace & Justice Coalition and southeast environmental groups working for clean air, clean water, and a carbon-free, nuclear free future. Georgia WAND monitors activities and policy decisions that affect the Savannah River Site (SRS) and nuclear power plants. We translate technical information about nuclear weapons and waste, its effects on national security, and its environmental impacts into terms that are meaningful to our members and to the communities near nuclear facilities. Our involvement with the international Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA) and IEER (Institute for Energy and Environmental Research) over the past decade strengthens our capability to disseminate updated and detailed information in a timely fashion that can enable communities to organize and take action. As a compliment to our environmental justice work, we maintain working relations with our peace and justice, human rights and civil rights, and more traditional environmental community partners: Church Women United, Metro Atlanta Democratic Socialists of America, Altamaha Riverkeepr, both Georgia and South Carolina Sierra Clubs and their radiation committees, the Georgia River Network, Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation, Aiken Peace, South Carolina and Georgia League of Women Voters, Georgia Organics, and Georgia STAND UP (to name a few). We have intensified our working relationships and cooperative partnerships with Friends of the Earth, other strong members of Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, and women state legislators, especially in Georgia.

Audacity Lab is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing an immersive experience to for start up renegades rejecting the average incubator. What that really means is that we've thrown out the script that most incubators employ (SBA-like seminars, traditional focus on things like tech, VC funding, rapid growth, and "networking"), and replaced it with a program that combines systematic, academic-style education with an integrated support infrastructure. And unlike traditional academic business education, our participants leave with more than a degree - they leave with a business.
