Customer Spotlight of the Week: Global Child Advocates
This Global Child Advocates family is one of many the organization is helping.
What does Global Child Advocates do?
Global Child Advocates is a non-profit organization that helps keep families together in order to help prevent family separation, child abuse, and trafficking. Global Child Advocates equips families, caregivers, churches, and communities as advocates to protect children.
• Prevention. For families who are already struggling to feed and shelter their children, a short-term crisis can lead to family breakdown. To prevent this from happening, Global Child Advocates provides nutrition support to help families persevere through crisis and get back on their feet.
• Protection. Victims of abuse and trafficking are protected in the short term through emergency care and long term through loving families, income opportunities, tangible resources, and education.
• Empowerment. By providing continuing education to parents and caregivers about attachment, brain development, and the impact of childhood trauma, caregivers understand the importance of staying together and work harder to maintain the family unit. At the same time, young children are provided a safe and nurturing pre-school learning environment where they are loved and cared for while their parents work. Children are able to build their creative and cognitive abilities, while gaining basic literacy, mathematics and science through play. Young women who are at-risk are empowered through continuing education and as enterprising artisans who make money by selling custom made jewelry that can be shipped around the world.
