GLOBAL
HUMANITARIA
Since 1999, Global Humanitaria has worked around the
world, actively pursuing human rights intervention and establishing
community-based development programs on behalf of children, women and families.
What sets us apart? The Global Humanitaria staff is comprised exclusively of
locals from each of our program locations -- our employees understand the
communities and the challenges they face from the inside out.
Our programs reach some of the most vulnerable and
marginalized communities in nine different countries; Bolivia, Colombia,
Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Ivory Coast, Cambodia, India and Nepal. Our
initiatives include education, health, food security and nutrition, women’s
empowerment, and child protection services.
This NGO develops different programs:
a) FOOD SECURITY
AND NUTRITION PROGRAM IN COLOMBIA (FSN)
For over 10 years, Global Humanitaria has spearheaded
a number of important interventions on Food Security and Nutrition in
Colombia's southern Pacific coast. This is one of the most severely affected
areas of the country’s humanitarian crisis, generated by armed conflict, and
drug trafficking, and inhabited mainly by Afro-Colombians. Click here to read a
quick overview of the Colombian Pacific Coast.
The
comprehensive FSN program is designed to build the capacity of these
Afro-Colombian communities and local government agencies to achieve the right
to food security, and to improve the nutritional status for children and the
more than 183,000 residents of the municipalities of Tumaco, Francisco Pizarro
and Mosquera. The programs range from direct assistance, such as the provision
of complementary nutrition to children in school, to the training of community
change agents for their active participation in the design and implementation
of Food Security and Nutrition public policies.
b) PROTECT AGAINST
CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
Every year, hundreds of millions of children in
countries around the world are victims of exploitation and abuse. They are
abducted, rented and sold for sex, or are trafficked into prostitution rings;
they are victims of modern day slavery. The consequences are devastating. The
victims are frequently in poor physical and mental health, and have been denied
their right to a childhood. Many of these children suffer in silence because in
many cases, child abuse is privately tolerated and publicly denied.
To conclude, I would like to say that all NGO’s are
important but some more than others, and this is one of them. The development
of projects against hunger and children’s sexual exploitation deserve our
collaboration. Contributing is very easy, you only have to provide 21€ and you will
become the godfather of one of these wonderful children. Come and join us!
