Issues and Trends Changing Demographics and Diversity

       A lady named Maya Ajmera in 1990 was in India getting off a train and she saw a group of children sitting around in circle with a lady on the ground.  She talked to the lady and found out she was being sponsored in helping these children with food, clothing, and a free education. Maya was so inspired that in 1993 she created the Global Fund for Children.  The Global Fund for Children is in the business of helping children around the world, these children are culturally diverse but they all share one thing, they need help for what we take for granted.
      Imagine being engaged at 5 years of age with the promise of being married by 13. And you would have mutilation of your genitals to look forward to by the age of 12.  But this little girl plead for education instead of marriage, and she promised to make their village proud. The village allowed her this education and Kakenya did exactly what she promised. Today she has a boarding school for girls and with the help of the Global Fund for Children she is helping thousands of children, boys and girls in Africa.
        The Global Fund for Children works tirelessly to connect new funders in helping Kakenya's Dream.  The Global Fund for Children gives grants and find others to help with funds for children around the world. This is the essential, transforming, giving hope where none exists, changing minds, and making a real difference work of the Global Fund for Children.  They go where others would choose to forget exist ; refugee camps, urban slums, and isolated villages. They partner with this group to help migrant children Social and Development Research and Action Group / Noida, India.  They also work with Early Childhood  Interventions for Children with Disabilities.
