Global Care helps vulnerable children living in contexts of poverty worldwide. We are passionate about helping children access education, as all the evidence shows this is the best way of breaking the poverty cycle for generations to come. We focus our support not just on children who are poor, but children who face additional barriers to breaking out of poverty - for example children with disabilities, children who are the 'wrong' caste or gender in their local context, children without appropriate adult guidance or children affected by HIV/AIDS or long-term ill health. Our help matters because our grassroots approach targets help at children who are often left behind by bigger organisations or broad-brush approaches to development. We work with children at the bottom of the heap, narrowing the poverty gap so that poor communities can move forward together.
We work through grassroots partners passionate about supporting children in their own communities, who need capacity building, oversight and resources to see their vision come to reality. So our projects all have education in their DNA, but the details look different in each country - whether mentoring street children in Guatemala, feeding hungry children at school in Kibera, Kenya, helping children with mobility difficulties get to school in Uganda, providing homework support and therapeutic care to children in Syria, or training teachers in South Sudan. We are a Christian charity, working mainly through Christian partners, but helping children of all faiths or none, based solely on need.
