Throughout this course I have been researching and learning
about The Global Fund For Children. The
Global Fund reached out to various regions.
I recently explored South Asia and the work that is done in that region
through the Global Fund partners. Some
of the most poor and marginalized children and youth live in South Asia. The Global Fund partners work with a wide
range of issues which include street children, child laborers, those that live
in slums and those that live in tribal populations amongst many more.
The Global Fund for Children shared links on their web site that
led to information about their mission, grantees, various blogs from those involved
with the global fund and it also shared media links, and the impact on solving
equity issues for our children.
Some of the featured news is dedicated to the Global Fund’s
partnership with Financial Times MBA Challenge. The MBA Challenge is a program involving
nine teams of business school students working with charities to develop plans
for spending the grant money allocated by the Global Fund.
In one edition of the newsletter there was a link to the
recently released “Grassroots Manifesto” which discusses the organization’s
approach to excelling in in efforts of change. There was emphasis put on girl’s
rights to education
The Global Fund for Children provides resources for many burdened
children around the globe. The work
that they do is beneficial to the children they serve and produces positive
outcomes.

I enjoyed reading your post. It is hard to imagine in this day and age that a girl's right to an education would still be an issue. I am glad that there is an organization that is working to ensure that all children, including girls, have access to an education.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the Global Fund and its mission to help those in need. In a lot of foreign countries especially third world ones seem to really prohibit young girls from receiving an education. This is unfair and I'm glad that they are attempting to fix this problem.
ReplyDeleteLatarsha,
ReplyDeletegreat post! I also researched the Global fund and I am very impress with their efforts to create change in our field and in children's lives. They realize the importance of giving and affording educational opportunities to all children. They deserve it.
After reading your post those children in South Asia are blessed to have a partnership with the Global fund program. I can’t imagine if the Global fund wasn’t available there will be a lot of sad children. A smile is om my face knowing that their is help out there for those families and children.
