The Need
Societies are justifiably judged by the way
they treat their children. Yet throughout the world, from New
York City to London, children go hungry, are undereducated and
are poorly treated.
The Response
The Children's Global Network Foundation was
founded in response to this crisis in the lives of children. Founder
Mark Hallim visited Guatemala on a business trip in 1996 and wound
up spending most of his visit helping a homeless family he encountered
back to its feet. Upon his return to the United States, this banker
began the process of developing a foundation to help address the
needs of children -focusing on the areas of healthcare, housing
and education.
The Children's Global Network
Foundation
The Children's Global Network Foundation's long-term
goal is to fund organizations whose primary focus and goal is
to provide high-quality educational and cultural activities to
underprivileged children throughout the world. It is essential
that all children have this access if they are to compete and
flourish in the increasingly demanding global community. To ensure
that funding is directed to appropriate organizations, the Foundation
will create a database of community based, non-profit organizations
and non-governmental organizations that help children. While clearly
not able to create a globally exhaustive database, this slice
of the world's services will allow the Foundation to choose a
series of organizations every year that can serve as models for
others. Organizations that are addressing the dire needs of young
people and their families in innovative ways should be recognized
for their efforts and supported in their efforts to let others
know what they are doing.
Proving Our Impact
The Foundation's annual report will include
a reporting of the impact that our investment has had at the organizations
we support. This way, our investors will be able to see clearly
that they can make a change in the world by investing wisely in
quality programs through the Foundation. The Foundation also has
an extremely low overhead, so the funds will go directly where
they are needed the most -to children in the classrooms and clubs
supported by the Foundation. Funds will be raised and disbursed
globally. Funds raised in each country will be disbursed to local
organizations. This will ensure that each country build their
own network of individuals, corporations, foundations and governmental
agencies so that the Foundation can operate as a local entity.
