Welcome to Global Aid Direct
Global Aid Direct Logical Core
Global Aid Direct -In a major study of global poverty, the World Bank (2001) estimated that 1.2 billion people lived in poverty around the world. Additionally, UNICEF (2001) reported that in a $30 trillion global economy, this figure represents one-fourth of the human race that is living in conditions of almost unimaginable suffering and want. Nearly 1 billion people in the world are illiterate. Approximately 1.3 billion people lack safe water. Over one-half of the developing world's population (2.6 billion people) is without access to adequate sanitation. From present trends, the numbers are set to increase.

Considering these factors, Global Aid Direct's planned activities seek to strengthen both trade and economic links, and at the same time promote poverty alleviation programs that help reduce diseases and other human suffering catastrophes such as poor health, food insecurity, low aspirations, limited educational attainment, nonexistent infrastructure or unfavorable living condition, homelessness, and social isolation amongst other.
Global Aid Direct plays a central role in shaping patterns of mobility and poverty through employment creation, product and process innovation, philanthropic activity, community service, the adaption or reinforcement of individual aspirations and social norms.
These activities are complemented with public outreach activities aimed at extending the fruits of our work to the broader community, at raising awareness of our mission and vision and of stimulating practical activity that builds on people’s effort to escape from persistent poverty and socioeconomic mobility.
