Donate Grant Policy     A New Generation of Leaders in Africa GoLD Project, Hope HIV, South Africa   The future leaders of Africa are being unearthed and empowered from within an orphan generation that is bursting with talent, passion and creativity. We can help to unleash their incredible potential. Hope HIV is a phenomenally successful program run by young people, for young people in South Africa. Their aim is to educate high school students about the dangers of unprotected sex and raise awareness of HIV/Aids. Gold transforms local communities by training influential teenagers to stand before their peers in their classroom and say, “I don’t take drugs and I don’t have sex without a condom.” Hope HIV would like to widen the Gold program to include other countries in Southern Africa. Donations raised will help provide interactive peer education materials and resources for use in all communities where the Gold peer education is being implemented.

In cases of obstetric fistula, the baby usually dies, and the young girl or woman is left incontinent, unable to stop the flow of urine running down her legs. She is often abandoned by her husband and family, and ostracized by her community. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than two million women are living with fistula in developing countries and an additional 50,000 to 100,000 new cases occur each year. These are mostly young, poor, illiterate women and girls living in remote areas. In Africa, two wonderful hospitals in Nigeria and Ethiopia are working with afflicted young girls and women, transforming their lives with a simple surgery. If you would like to be an Angel and give a young girl back her life through surgery, the average cost of surgery for one woman, including post-operative care and follow-up support, is only $340. The success rate is 90%. Please watch this extremely moving video and help us help these girls "to walk to beautiful".

These kids have physical and learning disabilities, and difficulties with communication. Sadly, for most families, there is little support to which they can turn to for help. White Lodge is an incredible resource for these families. Its flexible, creative, and integrated range of holistic services includes education, plus physical, speech and language therapy.  These services have a huge impact on the children's confidence and abilities as well as on their families. To watch children flourish and achieve their maximum potential in an environment in which they feel comfortable, settled and satisfied is awe-inspiring. The center aims for early intervention whenever possible, which means some children may be only a few months old. Global Angels Ambassador, Chesney Hawkes, regularly visits and supports White Lodge .

Due to poverty, cultural and religious beliefs, and the stigma surrounding disability in Thailand, many of these children are abandoned outside government orphanages where they are likely to spend the rest of their lives. Living in appalling conditions, many of these children exist in an environment where the most basic human needs of physical touch, care, and stimulation are simply not provided. After winning ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire’, Lydia George together with James and Esther Treasure, set-up 4Life, to support children in Thailand that are abandoned because of their disabilities. 4Life runs Day Care centers, a community-based care program, and a home and school for disabled children and orphans.

Sebastian's Action Trust, founded by Jane Gates, is building a respite home for families with a child with terminal cancer. Jane’s own 11-year-old child, Sebastian, died in 2003 after a two and a half-year battle with cancer. The land for the home has been donated, and money has been raised to build a residence where a family can have a few weeks holiday together in the countryside where all their needs are provided for. Global Angels is standing with Jane to help equip the house for the first families coming to stay and would like to raise $40,000 for this project. If you would like to be an Angel and help provide something very special for the families in England with a child with terminal cancer click Donate and give. 100% of your donation will be given to the Trust to help equip the new house.     VIEW SITE MAP
