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.

 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!
