Story about GPFO
We believe that each of us can serve the needy and vulnerable. We can offer several opportunities to empower needy communities locally. Any amount you donate, any minute of your precious time, and any skills you utilize to serve the needy matters. A gift as small as $5 goes a long way in saving lives, restoring hope, and empowering people in poverty to self-reliance We recieve Government subsidy funding through the Department of Health and Social Development and sometimes The National Lottery Board, PEPFAR and others, this represents about 40% of our needs. The other 60% of our funding has to be raised from private or corporate donors and funders. In order to keep ahead of the curve, funding is of critical importance. The cost of running our programmes relies on a continuous flow of funding. If you are able to assist us in any way, whether it be with a donation towards the day to day running costs of our organisation or to sponsor a specific project, or in kind, we will be extremely grateful.
What we do for childerns
Services to OVCs are rendered through the Home-Community Based Care programme. We offer support for orphaned and vulnerable children, especially those who are vulnerable as a result of the HIV and AIDS pandemic, enabling them to access essential social services to support their survival and development. We contribute to increasing coverage of community and home based care, support and protection for OVCs, and to assist the Department of Social Development to better coordinate and monitor OVCs increasing the number of them who can access available services. We provide crucial needed interface between children, their caregivers and available social services in the communities where children live. We identify the children, help them apply for social grants, get medical treatment and provide monthly food parcel, clothe the children and help provide them with time for recreation and play.
