Voices from a new girls’ summit
Last month, more than 100 young people from Liberia and Sierra Leone attended the first West Africa Adolescent Girls Summit. Twelve adolescents who participate in GFC partner programs designed and led the event, organizing workshops and activities on human rights advocacy, movement building, and other topics. Read their reflections on the summit and their hopes for the future.
Exploring ideas and resources in philanthropy
In the latest issue of GFC’s Learning Playground, we explore youth-led participatory grantmaking, how funder listening can strengthen community-led approaches, and more. We also share a growing map of resources to reimagine philanthropy and global development. Check out the most recent issue from Vanessa Stevens, GFC’s Director of Innovation and Influencing.
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.
