Background

Date Founded: 2008
Number of Staff: 5

Description of Services:
GO?s purpose is to identify and partner with developing world communities that envision and manage sustainable programs aimed at addressing fundamental communal issues such as education, health care, and sustainable agriculture.Once partnerships are established, GO provides the community with start-up capital to bring their ideas to fruition, and creates a global support network to scale the impact of their work. In this manner each partner can focus on their core competencies, making development work efficient, while the GO staff leverages volunteers, resources, and partnerships that are abundant in the developed world. Our local partners are thus able to focus on implementing successful programs that help build a sustainable livelihood.

Additional Information

Additional Background Information:
At GO we rely on a private group of investors to pay for our operating expenses. That means that 100% of the donation you make today will go directly to the cause! Not a single penny of your donation is spent on administrative costs, so your support can go where it is needed most.

There is no cost for volunteers to visit GO projects. From building homes in Rwanda to teaching English in Cambodia, GO's platform allows volunteers to make direct contact to our local partners and pay nothing outside of their own travel expenses to volunteer at our projects.
Local Partners:
Sovereign Global Mission (Ghana), Uganda Rural Support Community Foundation (Uganda), Sao Sary Foundation (Cambodia), Saboba Medical Center (Ghana), ELMA Foundation (Cambodia), Tanzanian Children's Concern (Tanzania), African Refugee Development Center (Israel), and John Dau Foundation (Southern Sudan)
