Lundy Foundation
The Lundy Foundation, a virtual operating foundation, has been turning lives around with small acts of caring since 1991. From the beginning, we have worked with communities across the globe to provide support, advice and skill building as community members themselves have tackled critical social issues.
Over the years, we have focused our work primarily on supporting research and training aimed at improving community infrastructures to respond to urgent social needs.
Maji Safi Group
We envision a rural Tanzania where people use clean treated water, where women and youth share equal footing with men, and where health education is accessible to all.
We picture families relieved of the emotional, economic, and health-related burdens resulting from poor WASH practices that lead to disease. We imagine young girls that understand puberty and female hygiene, so they may embrace their bodies and reach their fullest potential as academics and as mothers.

Nuba Water Project
Nuba Water Project was founded in 2006 by Denver businessman Steve Riley and two Sudanese refugees, George Tuto and Ibrahim Agor. George and Ibrahim, determined to help their people in the Nuba Mountains, worked with Steve to identify a focus for their work…water. The motto became “Clean Water Brings Life.” Our work is made possible by direct connections with key Sudanese living in Denver and in Sudan.
Our mission is to bring clean water to the Sudanese people of the Nuba Mountains. We do that by purchasing and delivering water pump repair kits and Safe Water Drops. Our work is for the benefit of all Nuba people regardless of religious or ethnic association.
One Acre Fund
One Acre Fund is a non-profit social enterprise that supplies financing and training to help smallholders grow their way out of hunger and build lasting pathways to prosperity.
Instead of giving handouts, we invest in farmers to generate a permanent gain in farm income. We supply a complete service bundle of seeds and fertilizer, financing, training, and market facilitation—and we deliver these services within walking distance of the over 800,000 rural farmers we serve. We measure success in our ability to make farmers more prosperous and we always put Farmers first.
When farmers improve their harvests, they pull themselves out of poverty. They also start producing surplus food for their neighbors. When farmers prosper, they eradicate poverty and hunger in their communities.
One School at a Time
One School at a Time partners with subsistence farming communities in rural Uganda, Africa to boost the performance and quality of existing public schools— ONE SCHOOL AT A TIME. We currently partner with 6 schools serving over 2,500 students. We are passionate about our programs to empower older girls to stay in school- educated girls can break the cycle of poverty for both their families and communities.

One World Running
One World Running is an international program promoting an awareness of health, fitness and nutrition by providing running shoes to those in need in the United States and around the world. We also put on 5K walk/runs to foster an enviroment of exercise and to increase understanding and goodwill between people.
Since 1986, a group of runners in Boulder, Colorado, has collected, washed and sent to Third World countries new and “near-new” athletic shoes, T-shirts and shorts, along with medicine and school and art supplies. Shoes for Africa was started after sports journalist Mike Sandrock returned from a coaching and racing trip to Cameroon, West Africa, sponsored by the U.S. Information Agency. Many of the runners from Cameroon ran barefoot (and were still able to beat Sandrock), and afterwards, a group of Boulder elite runners including Lorraine Moller, Steve Jones and Arturo Barrios began shipping shoes to West Africa. Since then a group of runners in Boulder has collected, washed, and sent shoes, T-shirts, and shorts to needy athletes and children around the world. The project continues to grow with shoes and athletic equipment being sent in from around the United States. Now called “One World Running” the group is a 100-percent volunteer organization, and the program has now expanded globally. The West End 3K criterium road race in downtown Boulder was started in August, 2001, as fundraiser for Shoes for Africa. In a recent addition, soccer cleats are now collected, as well as baseball equipment.
