Global Friends exists to remove the barriers imposed by poverty that force us to become disconnected – either by choice or circumstance. We believe in the power of a sustainable, harmonized, global community and provide the resources necessary to shape our global community into a place where everyone contributes and thrives. We support orphaned and vulnerable children around the world and the incredible people who care for them. Our intent is not to set up models of dependency but to provide the resources and introductions for mutually beneficial partnerships that can lead to self-sustainability. Global Friends offers hope when inspiration and aspirations fade. We offer opportunities through collaboration, funding of meaningful education, and provision of resources to meet basic needs. We foster and support environments where dreams can – and do — become reality. Global Friends is registered Canadian charitable organization run entirely by volunteers.
