Children are the hope for the future of Global Peace Foundation. That’s why so much of World Concern’s work is focused on their survival, well-being and growth.
In the countries Global
Peace foundation serve, children are challenged by civil war, malnutrition,
illiteracy, trafficking, HIV/AIDS and a lack of hope for the future
Most of the children Global
Peace Foundation serve suffer from intestinal parasites as well as
malnutrition, which makes them more susceptible to disease, skin and intestinal
disorders, and disabilities affecting learning and growth.
That’s why World Concern provides millions of school
children worldwide with de-worming medications and vitamins, which improves
their health, strength, learning capacity and ability to resist disease.
The coastal city of Petit-Goâve, Haiti, community volunteers teach
15- to17-year-olds how to breed and sell goats.
Goats are a valuable commodity in Haiti, where the average per capita
income is less than a dollar per day. Not only do goats provide milk—which can
be sold—but the sale of a goat’s offspring can net its owner the equivalent of
four month’s income.
