A small NGO making big changes in Kyrgyzstan
What would you do if you couldn’t find the right medical treatment for your child anywhere in the country, let alone in your own community? In Kyrgyzstan, a group of concerned parents founded Hand in Hand – the first center in the country that is devoted entirely to assisting children with autism. Having demonstrated remarkable innovation throughout its partnership with GFC, Hand in Hand received a 2019 Maya Ajmera Sustainability Award earlier this year. Read more about how this small organization became a national leader in advancing the rights of children with disabilities.
For your playlist – a rising Guatemalan rap artist
Evelyn (better known by her artist name, Flaka) discovered hip hop as a young teen. But it wasn’t until she started attending programs at Coincidir, a GFC partner in Guatemala, that she gained the confidence and encouragement to use music as a vehicle for change. Today, she raps about social issues that she encounters in her daily life, particularly gender inequality. Check out Flaka’s beats in this new blog post by GFC’s Maria Creamer.
At GFC, we’re in the business of building movements and delivering
life-changing programs to children and youth.
Consider a gift today for a better world where
children are safe, strong, and valued.
