We are a community based social enterprise on a journey to build the first sustainable rural city in Uganda. 

Invest in us as we build the sustainable rural city in Africa! 

Our work is premised on the belief that using a holistic and participatory development approach to design and implement community initiatives can empower local communities and create prosperity. Since 2019, our ecosystem of 20 social businesses and community projects serves 10,000 clients through the targeted provision of services/products across the education, health, agriculture, tourism, and finance sectors.  So far, 2,000 learners have benefited from our functional adult education, primary education, early childhood education, and vocational skilling activities. 8,000 patients have been treated at our health facility. 100 women who are members of our Shea butter Coop have seen their daily household incomes triple from under $1 to now $4, etc. Moreover, our interventions are successful because we actively involve the community in discussing their needs, views, and priorities while giving them the tools they need to solve their own challenges. Across and beyond Okere, the impact of our work shines bright and the international media have comprehensively covered our radical approach to rural transformation.  Okere City's initiatives are driven by actual community needs and the implementation of project activities is led by community members. Overall, Okere City strives to be a community organization and social enterprise that creates multiple opportunities for agrarian reforms and rural transformation in Okere Parish by encouraging open and forward-thinking, mobilizing, organizing, and training the rural population through a series of innovative projects, activities, and techniques so that they are able to develop practical solutions to the day to day challenges they face. Okere City seeks to be an enabler for the rural community in the parish to be more imaginative, cooperative, creative, innovative, and enterprising as prerequisites to make them more progressive, empowered, and successful. At the core of our work is ensuring that we strengthen the dignity of our rural community members by providing the support infrastructures that enable them to become responsible for shaping and designing their own futures and destinies.  Our current strategic direction is being guided by the Okere City 2030 Strategy which aims to build the first sustainable rural city in Africa.  
Okere City is certified by NGOsource as equivalent to a U.S. public charity under the International Revenue Service's Equivalency Determination standard.

Story House Ithaca brings people together to share, study, create, and enjoy stories in all their forms.

Story House Ithaca brings people together around stories. We define “story” very broadly, to include fiction and nonfiction, poetry and song, documentary, journalism, photography, audio, film, theater, puppetry, visual and performance art, graphics, dance, and every other way of communicating ideas and experience. Our definition of “house” is also broad. We hope eventually to settle into our own space, but for now we’re excited to be popping up around the community.

**The Problem**

Our society is going through a period of fracturing, as people of different socioeconomic, cultural, and educational backgrounds divide into ever more insular groups. One reason for this is a lack of opportunities for people to interact in meaningful and non-threatening ways. This has had disastrous consequences in politics, public health, and many other areas.
  
 **Our Approach**

- Story House creates. We dream up, organize, and present workshops, discussions, readings, talks, screenings, exhibitions, performances, participatory projects, and other activities. 
- Story House collaborates. We work with organizations, artists, activists, scholars, and others to plan and present compelling programming. 
- Story House connects. We help creative people and groups find new partners and reach new audiences. 
- Story House empowers. We help members of our community acquire the skills they need to tell the stories they want to tell.

In all our programs and activities, we are committed to creating inclusive spaces that welcome diversity. We strive to foster interactions between people of different cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds, with the goal of working toward shared understanding and a more equitable, anti-racist society.

New Nomad Institute seeks to integrate and revitalize nomadic wisdom into research, education, and work to address global crises. 

New Nomad Institute (NNI) is a not-for-profit research and action organization dedicated to integrate nomadic and indigenous knowledge in addressing contemporary climate, social, and technological issues. Rooted in Mongolia’s living nomadic traditions, NNI works at the intersection of research, education, and cultural exchange to cocreate resilient and sustainable futures. 

NNI conducts collaborative and situated research with international experts,  practitioners, and herder communities focusing on pastoral knowledge, environmental stewardship, and adaptive practices that have long been present in nomadic lives. Our broader research agenda underpins the overall programmatic areas, informing applied initiatives across education, exchange and types of partnerships we seek out. In parallel, New Nomad Institute seeks to build narrative and storytelling movements across multiple media to document, interpret, and share nomadic knowledge and lived experience. This work is developed collaboratively with herders, artists, filmmakers, writers, and researchers, and aims to shift dominant narratives.

Our education work includes our pilot program, Knowmadic Arts Lab,  which is an immersive, place-based learning program that brings together students, scholars, and practitioners into a direct engagement with nomadic lifeways through field work, hands-on practice, and interdisciplinary dialogue. The program bridges liberal arts inquiry with lived experiences of nomadic communities, emphasizing ecological literacy, systems-thinking and indigenous worldviews. Building on this pilot, New Nomad Institute aims to further develop and scale this curriculum within and beyond Mongolia’s public education system, responding to the post-socialist educational legacy and contributing to the development of a new, globally relevant education model grounded in place-based and indigenous knowledge.

The Institute also leads Steppe Together, a global exchange platform that connects herders, artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners across regions. The initiative facilitates knowledge exchange and shared learning, and creates space for nomadic perspectives to be represented within global conversations on climate, culture, and sustainability. In 2026, Steppe Together will convene participants in conjunction with COP17, hosted in Mongolia, providing a platform for dialogue between herder communities and international actors.

Looking ahead, New Nomad Institute aims to expand its research partnerships, deepen long-term collaboration with herder communities, scale its educational programs, and strengthen global exchange and narrative initiatives that position indigenous knowledge as a critical resource for addressing contemporary global challenges.

An institute dedicated to spreading and applying humanity's deepest and most consequential ideas.

Understanding how knowledge grows (the primary concern of *epistemology*) is one of the most fundamental questions that humanity has ever asked. Because the growth of knowledge plays a role in every human endeavor–from science to politics to creating artificial intelligence to raising children to entrepreneurship–getting the answer wrong necessarily leads to blind alleys and errors. Fortunately, Karl Popper, David Deutsch, and other thinkers have discovered and elaborated upon the right answer: that knowledge grows via conjecture and criticism.

Such a simple idea (the entire theory of which is called *critical rationalism*) has an enormous number of practical implications for all of the aforementioned fields and any other in which humans can make progress. While the revolutions brought forth by Newton, Darwin, and Einstein were profound and improved mankind's lot in the universe, even they were limited to particular strands of human endeavors. But epistemology is universal for any problem a person or society faces. Therefore, spreading critical rationalism and its implications will dissolve barriers to progress that most people do not even know stand in their way.

Promotes collaboration between French and American researchers to preserve and study Rosa Bonheur’s works.

Historical Background of the Organization

Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur, was founded following the purchase of the Château de Rosa Bonheur, also known as the Château de By, by the Brault family in 2017. The château, located in Thomery, France, served as Bonheur’s residence for the last 40 years of her life, and its acquisition marked the beginning of a new era in the preservation of the artist’s heritage. Upon acquiring the property, the Brault family discovered thousands of archival documents in the château’s attic, many of which had been untouched for over a century. These documents included personal letters, sketches, financial records, and other invaluable materials that shed light on Bonheur’s life, work, and influence.

Recognizing the importance of these discoveries, the Brault family and the organization sought to create an environment where scholars, particularly from the United States, could engage in rigorous research on these newly unearthed documents. The historical link between Rosa Bonheur and the United States, where many of her works are held in private collections or sold through auction houses, further motivated the establishment of the AFCRB. The organization’s founders recognized the need to bridge the gap between French and American art scholarship, encouraging transatlantic collaboration to ensure a comprehensive understanding of Bonheur’s artistic contributions.

Mission and Objectives

The core mission of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur is to preserve and promote the artistic legacy of Rosa Bonheur. As an organization, it seeks to raise awareness of Bonheur’s work, ensure her rightful place in art history, and foster greater public understanding of her contributions to the development of animal painting, realism, and the broader art community.

To achieve these goals, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur focuses on four key objectives:

1. Restoration: The organization is committed to restoring both Rosa Bonheur’s works and her former home, the Château de Rosa Bonheur, as her workshop, her study room and what makes up its museum. This involves the meticulous conservation of her paintings, drawings, and sculptures, as well as the preservation of the château itself, which stands as a testament to her life and creative process. Restoration efforts ensure that future generations can experience Bonheur’s work in its original context and condition.

2. Acquisition: One of the central aims of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur is to acquire as many of Bonheur’s works as possible, particularly those that have been sold by private collectors. Many of her pieces, including lesser-known works and studies, have appeared on the American art market in recent years. By acquiring these works, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur ensures they are properly authenticated, studied, and ultimately made available to the public. This also helps enrich the archives at the Château de Rosa Bonheur, creating a comprehensive collection that can support future exhibitions and research.

3. Research: Research is a fundamental aspect of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s mission. By hosting American research students and scholars at the château, the organization creates an environment conducive to academic exchange and the development of new perspectives on Bonheur’s work. The archival documents discovered in the château’s attic provide a wealth of material for scholars to explore, and the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur aims to facilitate and support this research by offering access to the château’s collections and resources. Additionally, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur supports efforts to compile a complete catalogue raisonné of Bonheur’s works, a critical tool for scholars, curators, and collectors from all over the world. 

4. Rehabilitation: Rehabilitation, in the context of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s mission, refers to the broader restoration and revitalization of Bonheur’s legacy. This involves not only physical restoration but also the intellectual and cultural rehabilitation of her place in art history. By promoting Bonheur’s work through conferences, exhibitions, scientific publications and public programs, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur seeks to ensure that her contributions are fully recognized and appreciated by contemporary audiences.

Past and Present Activities

Since its establishment, Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur, has been actively involved in a variety of projects aimed at fulfilling its mission. The organization has supported numerous research initiatives, allowing scholars to delve into the newly discovered archival materials at the château with the help of the French Heritage society. These documents have provided fresh insights into Bonheur’s life, including her relationships with contemporaries, her financial dealings, and her artistic process. This research has been instrumental in shaping the current understanding of Bonheur’s work and influence.

In addition to research, Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur has organized several exhibitions showcasing Bonheur’s work. These exhibitions have traveled between France and the United States, further strengthening the cultural ties between the two countries and introducing new audiences to Bonheur’s art. The organization has also been involved in organizing conferences and masterclasses, bringing together art historians, curators, and students to discuss Bonheur’s legacy and explore new avenues of research.

Restoration efforts have been another key focus of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s activities. The organization has overseen the restoration of several of Bonheur’s paintings, as well as the ongoing preservation of the Château de Rosa Bonheur. These efforts ensure that both the artist’s works and her living environment are preserved for future generations to study and appreciate.

Future Activities and Vision

Looking ahead, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur has ambitious plans to continue expanding its activities and reach. One of the organization’s primary goals is to complete the catalogue raisonné of Rosa Bonheur’s works, which will serve as a definitive reference for scholars and collectors alike. This project will require extensive research, as well as the acquisition and authentication of additional works by Bonheur.

The Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur also plans to expand its educational programming, with a particular focus on engaging younger audiences. This includes developing workshops and masterclasses for art students, as well as creating digital resources that make Bonheur’s work and legacy accessible to a global audience. The organization aims to leverage technology to create virtual exhibitions and online archives, allowing people from around the world to explore Bonheur’s art and the château’s collections.

Another important aspect of the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur’s future activities is the continued restoration of the Château de Rosa Bonheur. The organization is committed to preserving this historic site as a living museum, where visitors can experience the environment in which Bonheur lived and worked. In addition to physical restoration, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur plans to expand the château’s public programming, offering educational workshops, and artist residencies.

Finally, the Les Amis du Château de Rosa Bonheur will continue to promote transatlantic collaboration by hosting American scholars and artists at the château. This exchange of ideas will help foster a deeper understanding of Bonheur’s work and contribute to the ongoing study of her artistic legacy. The organization also plans to strengthen its partnerships with museums, universities, and cultural institutions in both France and the United States, creating new opportunities for collaboration and engagement.

Establishment of “American Friends of the Château de Rosa Bonheur (AFCRB)”

The American Friends of the Château de Rosa Bonheur (AFCRB) is a vital organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and expanding the legacy of the 19th-century artist Rosa Bonheur. Since its inception, the AFCRB has focused on fostering collaboration between American and French researchers to deepen the understanding of Bonheur’s work and ensure its continued appreciation on both sides of the Atlantic. The organization’s mission centers around four primary pillars: restoration, acquisition, research, and rehabilitation, all of which contribute to the broader goal of safeguarding the legacy of one of the most influential female artists of her time.

Conclusion

The American Friends of the Château de Rosa Bonheur plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the legacy of Rosa Bonheur. Through its focus on restoration, acquisition, research, and rehabilitation, the organization is ensuring that Bonheur’s contributions to the art world are recognized and appreciated by future generations. As the AFCRB continues to expand its activities, it remains committed to fostering transatlantic collaboration and ensuring that Bonheur’s work is accessible to a global audience. By supporting research, exhibitions, and educational programs, the AFCRB is helping to secure Rosa Bonheur’s place in art history and ensure that her legacy endures for centuries to come.

Newsroom focused on investigative journalism in the public interest.

ProPublica is an independent, non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. Our work focuses exclusively on truly important stories, stories with “moral force.” We do this by producing journalism that shines a light on exploitation of the weak by the strong and on the failures of those with power to vindicate the trust placed in them.  Investigative journalism is at risk. Many news organizations have increasingly come to see it as a luxury. Today’s investigative reporters lack resources: Time and budget constraints are curbing the ability of journalists not specifically designated “investigative” to do this kind of reporting in addition to their regular beats. New models are, therefore, necessary to carry forward some of the great work of journalism in the public interest that is such an integral part of self-government, and thus an important bulwark of our democracy.
