Website Dedicated to Helping Children


     When researching the websites that involved helping children I selected The Global Fund for Children website: https://www.globalfundforchildren.org because this organization is trying to help children around the world regain their childhood.  Some children are made to work jobs at markets or forced into human trafficking instead of being allowed to receive an education.  This program really gets involved and supports grassroots organizers in order to make sure that there is an existing personal connection with the actual people that need help.  Funding is given to these community organizers in order to help children in crisis.  Money, leadership workshops, and management services are provided to ensure that the regions are strengthened.  Some of the regions served are Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, North America, Middle East and North Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

            This site also features news stories about how children are being helped around the world and these stories are very uplifting.  There is also a section on the website that is titled “Get Involved” which urges readers to get involved in various ways such as; subscribing to the blog, donating money, buying books(percentage of proceeds helps children), or subscribed to the newsletter.  One of the articles I read was about the trafficking of children and how effective steps were taken to reintegrate these children back into the community.
