In Depth:  Global Care

If, after Christmas, your New Year’s resolution is likely to be to walk more, then Global Care has an opportunity to use that plan to simultaneously raise money for vulnerable children living in Uganda.

Funds raised through ‘50 miles in 30 days’ will enable children to have access to more scholastic materials, textbooks, learning aids and items to benefit their education. Schools with whom the charity works will each be given a grant from the profits, and can spend the money on resources or needs of their choice.

The Syrian refugee crisis is fast becoming untenable, says Christian international children’s charity Global Care as the world marked World Refugee Day on June 20.

The scale of the Syrian refugee crisis has reached unthinkable proportions, compared to when the first refugees were worked with in Lebanon in April 2013. Now, a massive one in five people in Lebanon is a Syrian refugee, and this enormous influx of needy people is causing huge problems.

An emergency appeal by Christian international children’s charity Global Care to help Syrian refugees living in dire conditions in Lebanon, has raised almost £50,000, it was reported in September.

Global Care’s partners in Lebanon are using the money to provide monthly food parcels for families living in tents and makeshift shelters by the roadside in North Lebanon, after fleeing the vicious fighting in Syria. Most of the families have nothing but the clothes on their backs, and all have suffered terrible losses. The food parcels are literally helping them survive.
