This initiative supports four local organizations empowering children with disabilities in India and Thailand by increasing their access to education and healthcare.
Global Fund for Children supports four community-based organizations in Asia that are empowering children with disabilities by increasing their access to education and healthcare.
Our partners in this initiative are located in India and Thailand, where they are advocating for greater inclusion for children and youth with disabilities and ensuring they have access to quality education and medical care.
These organizations are empowering children and youth with disabilities by:
Meeting their educational needs and promoting inclusive and accessible learning environments.
Ensuring they have access to quality health care, including therapies and technology solutions.
Advocating for their inclusion and changing mindsets that limit their opportunities.
GFC is providing these local organizations with flexible funding and capacity development services to support their growth and effectiveness.
