GFWC members can’t always be physically present to assist and make changes in countries around the world; however, members can be assured the donations made through our partnership agencies are reaching those in the greatest need. There are countless ways to support global development and make a lasting difference.
Consider raising cultural awareness; celebrating ethnicities; conducting fundraising activities to support healthy child development; advocating for basic human needs such as food, water, clothing, and education; and promoting self-sufficiency.
Half of the world’s population, over two billion people, lives on less than $2.00 a day and 21,000 children die each day due to poverty, hunger, and easily preventable dis-eases. GFWC encourages our clubs to reach beyond their own communities to the global community to make a lasting difference in the lives of children, their families,
