What we Do
Education Transforms Lives
Education transforms lives and is at the heart of Global Humanitarian Aid & Social Development mission to build peace, eradicate poverty and drive sustainable development.
Global Humanitarian Aid & Social development believes that education is a human right for all throughout life and that access must be matched by quality. Global Humanitarian Aid & Social Development provides global and regional leadership in education, strengthens education systems worldwide and responds to contemporary global challenges through education with gender equality an underlying principle.
Its work encompasses educational development from pre-school to higher education and beyond. Themes include global citizenship and sustainable development, human rights and gender equality, health and HIV and AIDS, as well as technical and vocational skills development.
Hunger
Global Humanitarian Aid & Social Development is a global humanitarian organization that takes decisive action against the causes and effects of hunger. We save the lives of malnourished children. We ensure everyone can access clean water, food, training and healthcare.
We enable entire communities to be free from hunger. works not only to treat acutely malnourished children through a community-based approach, but also to improve child survival and prevent undernutrition by addressing its underlying causes.
We aim to increase the number of children worldwide who are screened and treated for undernutrition and to build the capacity of local health systems to treat undernutrition. We are committed to research, partnerships, and learning that will allow us to continually improve policy and practice to end undernutrition in all its forms by 2030.
Health
Global Humanitarian Aid & Social Development believes that a different kind of healthcare system is possible for Canada – one that addresses all patients’ basic resource needs as a standard part of quality care. They believe that one day, all healthcare providers will be able to prescribe solutions that improve health, not just manage disease. The organization seeks to align the forces necessary for this change, using Global Humanitarian Aid & Social Development’ work in partner hospitals and health centers to make a broader case for integrating basic resources into healthcare delivery. At the same time, America is poised for a healthcare transformation due to market-driven imperatives focused on improving patient health and reducing costs.When patients and their families seek medical care, they often face critical challenges in their lives at the same time – they have little food, they have no job, they struggle to keep up with bills for gas and electricity. Not surprisingly, these challenges affect their health.Global Humanitarian Aid & Social Development enables healthcare providers to prescribe basic resources like food and heat just as they do medication and refer patients to a program just as they do any other specialty. they recruit and train college students— Global Humanitarian Aid & Social Development Advocates – to fill these prescriptions by working side by side with patients to connect them with the basic resources they need to be healthy.
Protection
Children have the right to be completely secure from the fear or reality of any potential abuse (either physical or emotional) resulting from an inappropriate contact by a sponsor or any other person.
Gender-Based Violence
Gender-based violence (GBV) is violence that is directed at an individual based on his or her biological sex OR gender identity. It includes physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse, threats, coercion, and economic or educational deprivation, whether occurring in public or private life.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
Growing up in a clean and safe environment is every child’s right. Access to clean water, basic toilets, and good hygiene practices not only keeps children thriving, but also gives them a healthier start in life. Despite COVID-19 putting the spotlight on the importance of hand hygiene to prevent the spread of disease, three billion people worldwide, including hundreds of millions of school-going children, do not have access to handwashing facilities with soap. People living in rural areas, urban slums, disaster-prone areas and low-income countries are the most vulnerable and the most affected.
