     After perusing the various outside links, the Global Fund for Children (GFC) became the focal point for me to use and conduct my research. The role of the Global Fund for Children is to revolutionize the lives of children on the kerb of society: - children who are being traded; displaced children; children as wage earners; - and assisting them in reclaiming their rights, and strive for their aspiration. In other words, the Global Fund for Children (GFC) makes an effort to allow kids to be kids, regardless what their situation is.

     The Global Fund for Children (GFC) venture in grassroots corporations that make it possible for the most resilient children in their communities to make strides. Their tactical reinforcement aid their grantees accomplish their perception, keep maintaining and contacting even more children in demand. Its representation can be condensed in three steps: scout, support, and strengthen.

·         Scout - Officers in the program are regional professionals who place their feet on the ground, searching for syndicated that work for children in the world, who are the most marginalized.

·         Support - They venture in syndicates that are undercapitalized, and contribute to dangerous services to defenseless children. Making early speculation, assisting their partners in building up character, leaving them bigger, stronger, and waiting to work as community reserves in the future.

·          Strengthen - Their perception that money is not sufficient - for change to last, vibrant leadership and healthy organizational development will be needed.

Since the establishment of the Global Fund for Children, over eight million children worldwide lives have been touched. Instead if children working, they are going to school. Many of them get away from the chains of slavery, shield themselves from HIV, and obtain the childhood they justify.

     In the (GFC) newsletter featured news: - Global Fund for Children in Huffington Post: - Honor Women's History by Investing in Girls Futures, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in Washington - Kristin Lindsey looked at Women's History Month which is in March, and centered her attention to the resilient young girls. Generally, women have made great steps towards parity, but the reality persists that too many young girls in the developing world live in situations that are unjust and dangerous. These unprotected girls are child brides. About one third of all young girls in developing nations are married before they turn eighteen, and in certified countries, the number climbs even higher.

     Consequently, the prospective for child bride is a lifetime of ignorance and a radically increased risk of dying from difficulty during pregnancy or childbirth. Some have never put foot into a classroom because they work as domestic workers, others become servants to support the household due to families' obligation, and many are traffic into the job and are essentially slaves. Undoubtedly, all child maids are deprived of an education and a nurturing environment in which to grow up.

     After exploring the newsletter, I came to the realization that the young girls in the world are most resilient. Their needs are urgent and serious, hence, the reason for the Global Fund for Children being so dedicated to seeking out and supporting grassroots organizations, with reform ideas about how to address the needs of girls in their community.
