Sharing Resources


The Global Fund for Children reached out to me this week. They sent some information regarding some of the children who had benefited from their services. They were also asking for donations to help with the keep the dream alive for so many children. I was happy to help. One does not realize how much a little bit can help. A little goes a long way.

The Global Fund for Children invests in local organizations that work tirelessly to give all children the opportunity to grow up healthy and safe, get an education, and pursue their dreams. GFC provides our partners with strategic support to help them grow bigger, get stronger, and reach even more children in need. Here are a few simple ways for you to learn more about our work:

Although the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) is no longer active in northern Uganda, the group’s violent actions have left a terrible legacy. GFC grassroots partner RICE-WN specifically addresses the needs of conflict-affected young people, especially girls.

In some ways, Hope House’s summer camp looks like any other. But there is one big difference: for five hours each day, Hope House campers go to prison.

Angeline has her sights set on the sky: she wants to be a pilot when she grows up. When asked where she’d fly to, she says, “I want to fly to America to go to university there.” Unfortunately, for many girls like Angeline, obstacles stand in the way of big dreams.

  1. The Global Fund for Children is a good organization. I to signed up to receive newsletters. I think what they are doing is great. Their program officers spend lots of hours every year supplying services geared toward developing their companions’ visibility and sustainability. On common, their partners more than triple their budgets over the course in their partnership. They have helped other companions secure more than $10 million in new, direct funding from other donors.

  2. Hi Delores,
    It seems like the GFC is doing a lot of good work in many areas of the world. Thank you for sharing the success stories. Does any one of them in particular resonate with you? Also, I note from the dates that each of these success stories was posted at least a couple of years ago. Do you know if the GFC has posted any more recent success stories?
