BACKGROUND
The Global Education Fund focuses on supplying books for orphaned children between the ages of seven and seventeen.
-
Once an orphan exceeds the age of seven, it is unlikely he/she will ever be adopted.
-
Children and young adult books are virtually nonexistent in orphanages.
-
Education is the simple factor separating the economic haves and have-nots.
Children’s books generously donated by publishing and distributing companies allow the Global Education Fund to create literacy centers. To fill the gap between books donated and books needed, the Global Education Fund purchases books at a discount. Once books have been collected at the Global Education Fund headquarters in Boulder, Colorado they are shipped to the orphanages.
