Voluntario Global
http://voluntarioglobal.org/enVoluntario Global is built around a set of ideologies and practices to meet common economic and social needs. It promotes the act of volunteering as a collective practice, an exchange of knowledge and mutual learning; as a two way process, not a charity. At the same time, we work towards an ideal of inclusive economic growth, which means equal opportunities for people to reach their potential, an ethic which values people, and doesn't see them simply as a commodity.
Babble
http://www.babble.comWe created Babble for one very simple reason: we can't find a magazine or community that speaks to us as new parents. Every publication we encounter presents procreation as a cute and cuddly experience, all pink and powder blue, at best an interior decorating opportunity, at worst a housekeeping challenge. None of it is true to the experience we are having, and that we see around us.
AlterHeros

http://www.boxplayforkids.comWe make eco-friendly, 100% recycled, custom-designed stickers that (combined with a little imagination) turn any old box into a wonderland of possibilities. Good for the imagination. Good for the earth. Good for the pocketbook.
Smile Squared
http://smilesquared.comDuring a humanitarian trip to Central America, the founders of Smile Squared saw how much dental health impacts a child's life. Kids across the globe lack the necessary dental hygiene to maintain quality health and self-esteem. In hopes of giving every child the opportunity for clean, healthy teeth, Smile Squared was born. Our “Buy One, Give One” philosophy ensures the purchase you make has a direct impact on the world. Anytime you buy a Smile Squared toothbrush, we’ll send one to a child in need. Together, we can take a small step for big change.
HELP (Hope, Educate, Love and Protect)
http://helpchildren.orgWe believe it is every child’s birthright to receive hope for a better future, education to grow, unconditional love, and protection from disease and illness. We address Malawi’s teacher shortage by pairing government teachers with local assistant teachers and international volunteer teachers. With a strong emphasis on sustainable development, we strive to transform primary (elementary) schools into epicenters of social and economic development. Our partnership with the socially-conscious tourism agency Wilderness Safaris helps us to bring our vision of rural development to the most remote regions in Africa.
