We are thrilled to announce an inspiring partnership between The One Ummah Foundation and the Le Gratitude Institute, two organizations united by a shared mission to uplift communities and create lasting change. The One Ummah Foundation is dedicated to eradicating child labor globally by breaking the cycles of poverty, ending hunger, promoting literacy, and fostering economic self-sufficiency. Their name, "One People," reflects their commitment to uniting communities and supporting children worldwide, regardless of race, ethnicity, or religion.

The Le Gratitude Institute is a global think tank and direct service organization devoted to the study, discussion, and practice of gratitude. Their mission is to transform the human experience by promoting gratitude as a tool to end internal suffering and build lives of abundance.

Together, these two organizations have launched several impactful initiatives aimed at supporting vulnerable communities and fostering a sense of gratitude and resilience. One of the key components of their collaboration is the monthly Gratitude Symposiums and fundraisers. These events bring together professionals from various fields to discuss the importance of living a gratitude-filled life. By sharing experiences and insights, participants learn how to incorporate gratitude into their daily routines, enhancing their overall well-being and promoting a culture of appreciation and positivity.

Additionally, the partnership supports the First Step Program, specifically designed for single mothers facing urgent financial crises. This program provides emergency funding to help single mothers who are employed but struggling to resolve unexpected financial burdens. The types of support available through this funding include:

• Essential Repairs or Purchases: Assistance with critical home repairs or the purchase of necessary vehicles and equipment, ensuring families have safe and reliable resources.
• Rental Support: Emergency rental assistance to prevent eviction and ensure families maintain stable housing.
• Child Care Expenses: Funding to cover urgent child care costs, allowing mothers to continue working and providing for their families.
• Other One-Time Expenses: Financial support for various unforeseen expenses that create emergencies for single-mother households.

By addressing these urgent needs, the First Step Program aims to provide a safety net for single mothers, enabling them to overcome immediate challenges and build a secure and prosperous future for their families.

The partnership between The One Ummah Foundation and the Le Gratitude Institute exemplifies the power of collaboration in driving meaningful change. By combining their resources and expertise, these organizations are not only supporting families in need but also promoting a culture of gratitude and unity that has the potential to transform lives on a global scale.

Join us in celebrating this partnership and supporting their vital work to create a world where every child can reach their full potential and every family can thrive. Together, we can build a brighter, more compassionate future for all.
