Reflections on the impact of GFC’s Courage Award
Crime Si Poa, based in Kenya, and Free Minds Book Club & Writing Workshop, located in the United States, won GFC’s Juliette Gimon Courage Award in 2021. Both organizations were recognized for their bravery and commitment in empowering incarcerated and formerly incarcerated youth in their communities. Crime Si Poa and Free Minds recently reflected on how the Courage Award brought local and international attention that helped them expand their work to other communities, increased their credibility in the criminal justice sector, opened doors to strategic partnerships, and boosted staff morale.
We are excited to welcome 12 partners to our new RECARGA initiative, which stands for Recuperando la Educación en Centroamérica: Activando Redes y Grupos Asociados (Educational Recovery in Central America: Supporting the Critical Role of Civil Society Organizations). A collaboration with six other funders, this initiative will support 12 civil society organizations in Guatemala and Honduras that are advancing the recovery and improvement of learning environments for children who have faced diverse barriers to accessing education. Learn more about our new partners here.
