GFF exists to remove the barriers imposed by poverty. We support orphaned & vulnerable children & the incredible people who care for them
Welcome to the Global Friends
Our premise is simple – we believe we are all intimately connected through the global community we share. We need each other; are inspired by each other; and succeed, or fail, because of each other.
Who We Are
Global Friends exists to remove the barriers imposed by poverty that force us to become disconnected – either by choice or circumstance. We support orphaned and vulnerable children around the world and the incredible people who care for them.
Our intent is not to set up models of dependency but to provide the resources and introductions for mutually beneficial partnerships that can lead to self-sustainability.
Global Friends is Canadian charitable organization run entirely by volunteers.
Our Impact
Global Friends strives to provide the resources necessary to shape our global community into a place where everyone contributes and thrives. We believe in the power of a sustainable, harmonized, global community. Global Friends offers hope when inspiration and aspirations fade. We offer opportunities through collaboration, funding of meaningful education, and provision of resources to meet basic needs. We foster and support environments where dreams can – and do -- become reality.
Our goals are to facilitate empowerment and encourage strategic partnerships so people succeed as individuals and collaborators. Some of the successes we have supported include:
- Funding the construction, furnishing and ongoing development of the Rafiki Orphan Care Home
- Feeding 38 orphaned children at Rafiki for 6+ years
- Providing education to dozens of children in Uganda and Tanzania
- Rebuilding a school for 500+ children in rural Uganda
- Funding and helping to develop self-sustaining, income-generating businesses in the form of a sewing centre, chicken farm, agricultural program and water distribution centre
- Supporting a rehabilitation program for street teens
- Providing supplies to a crucial mobile health team dedicated to reducing the number of orphans in rural areas by keeping parents alive
- and much more….
