Special Message 46 A personal note of thanks the global fund for children 4 Because of you, she can go to school.

Odona is a student at the Special Education School run by Pazapa, a GFC grantee partner in Haiti. Disabilities carry a strong stigma in Haiti, but with your support, Pazapa is helping families and communities to understand that all children are worthy of dignity and respect—and an education.

That alone is enough to make anyone proud. But you did so much more this year. You helped to protect children from becoming slaves. You freed others. You sent girls to school for the first time, and you provided healing care to children who have been to war and back.

Simply put—you transformed lives.

Thank you.

Kakenya presented this challenge to the audience at TEDxMid­ Atlantic, where she spoke about growing up in a traditional Maasai community in Kenya. Kakenya was the first young woman from You are somebody her village to leave and get an education—with a promise to use that who wants to make education to give back to her community. (You can read about a difference. Kakenya’s journey, and about the generation of girls who are following in her footsteps, on page 16 of this report.)

We also take on Kakenya’s challenge to “be the first.” This year, with your support, we became the first US-based institutional funder of 30 grassroots organizations—that’s 83 percent of our new grantees. Because of you, we said yes to thousands of children who need your support. If not us, then who? We know this is a question you ask yourself when you stand up for the vulnerable children of the world. Kakenya asked herself this question, then blazed a trail of change for girls’ rights. Her work continues today because of supporters like you. We hope this report reveals to you all the transformations that are taking place because of you. We cannot thank you enough. We also thank Maya Ajmera and Hafsat Abiola-Costello, two outgoing board members, for their commitment to GFC. It is especially poignant to mark Maya’s service as founder, president, and board member. Her vision, guidance, and passion have been fundamental to GFC’s launch, development, and success. As you know, as each year folds into the next, our responsibility remains. There are still countless children who need you to be the first—who need you to show the world what is possible. We are proud that you have chosen us to walk with you on that journey. With our deepest thanks,

Mark McGoldrick Chair, Board of Directors

Angeline can follow her dream to become a pilot

Angeline has her sights set on the sky. When asked where she’d fly to, she says, “I want to fly to America to go to university there.” Thanks to you, she is on her way. Science and math are her favorite subjects. Now 15 years old and in 8th grade, Angeline is the top student in her class. Her dreams haven’t always been within reach. In the Maasai community where Angeline lives, girls are often married off at age 12 after undergoing female genital mutilation. This traditional rite of passage into adulthood is extremely painful and dangerous, and it can lead to myriad problems, from infection to death. Maasai girls are usually expected to drop out of school after this ceremony takes place, to take on their new roles as wives and mothers. Because of you, Angeline could choose another path. When she was 11 years old, she was admitted to the Academy for Girls, a boarding school for adolescent girls. A project of the Kakenya Center for Excellence (KCE), the Academy is the only school of its kind in the region. At the Academy, Angeline is learning English, Swahili, geography, the arts, and more. A health course covers sexual and reproductive health, including education about genital cutting, HIV/AIDS, and the risks of early marriage and early childbirth. A leadership training program gives girls firsthand experience through student councils and community outreach. Angeline, who will graduate this December, is one of 155 Academy students, each with her own plan to become a lawyer, a brain surgeon, a teacher. One girl wants to open a center just like KCE, where she can help the next generation of girls pursue their dreams. ... and is part of a movement for girls’ rights.

the global fund for children 18 Kakenya Center for Excellence Enoosaen, Kenya

Kakenya Ntaiya, founder of KCE, knows what it is like to be a Maasai girl with big aspirations. Engaged at age 5, with marriage expected by age 13, Kakenya instead negotiated with her family and community to allow her to continue her education. In return, she promised to use her education to benefit Enoosaen. True to her word, Kakenya has dedicated her organization to improving the lives of the most vulnerable and underprivileged Maasai girls. KCE’s Academy boasts a 100 percent retention rate and consistently ranks among the top schools in its division. Alongside the educational and leadership curriculum, girls at the Academy learn enriching cultural traditions such as storytelling and beadwork. Life skills training teaches them how to maintain strong homes and productive and healthy farms. Though many parents and village elders were unsure at first, the Academy has brought about a new level of acceptance of girls’ education. The chief of the village, who once publicly declared that girls should be married and not educated, is now a staunch supporter of KCE and its mission. This year, Kakenya was named a CNN Hero.

children are safe from the streets

On the streets of Phnom Penh, children as young as 5 spend their days searching through trash for food, or for metal scraps they can recycle for money. Thousands of young people live, work, and play in the city’s most dangerous corners. Drugs, child trafficking, disease, gang violence—these are just a few of the risks they face on a daily basis. But because of you, children have a place to go every day to feel loved and cared for—and to have fun. Using hip-hop and break-dancing as engage- ment tools, Tiny Toones provides a safe environment where vulnerable children can learn healthy behav- iors, get an education, and develop a positive sense of identity and belonging. Tiny Toones started out offering break-dancing lessons in 2007, but soon—at the children’s request— added classes in English, Khmer, and computers. Tiny Toones also conducts outreach to distribute health kits and to teach children about basic hygiene, HIV/AIDS, and drug abuse prevention. This year, classes took place at the organization’s new center in the impoverished neighborhood of Chba Ampov—the heart of one of the communities where its services are most needed. Thanks to your support this year, nearly 1,000 children walked off the streets and through its doors.

the global fund for children 24 Tiny Toones Phnom Penh, Cambodia

The staff at Tiny Toones understands what it means to live on the streets. Tiny Toones’ founder and director, Tuy Sobil, known as KK, is a former gang member and drug user who now devotes his life to transforming the lives of kids who remind him of how he used to be. Every dance instructor on staff is a former student—now they work to inspire the next generation. “Here at Tiny Toones, it is my second family. We work together, dance, we show love to each other and always stick together,” says Fresh, a former student who is now a dance instructor and is going to college with support from the organization. “In school, you learn how to read and write, but through dancing, KK taught me to be strong and independent.” Youth who participate in Tiny Toones’ programs often help out by keeping an eye on the younger kids. Some dancers perform on national television, or travel with Tiny Toones internationally to raise awareness about the challenges facing Cambodia’s impoverished children and youth. Through self-choreographed routines, their life stories are performed for thousands of people each year.

The Global Fund for Children was honored this year as the featured charity for the Financial Times Seasonal Appeal. Each year, the Financial Times highlights the work of one charity during this campaign. Spotlighting GFC through more than two dozen articles and several events, the Seasonal Appeal helped us to have a successful year of fundraising and to share our work with a global readership.

We continued to maintain the highest industry standards of financial reporting and transparency and have received Charity Navigator’s highest rating in eight of the past nine years. We accomplished this through sound, well-structured fiscal discipline and a supportive and engaged board of directors, and by measuring the success of our grantee partners in each phase of their development. GFC stands apart from the crowd in its capacity to quantify the results of its investments in grassroots organizations. We anticipate that the measurement tools now being promoted to aid in rating NGOs, which will include the impact an organization is making, will propel GFC even higher in the rankings.

We distributed $3.76 million in direct grants to our current grantees and awarded an additional $268,000 in Maya Ajmera Sustainability Awards to exiting grantee partners. Our grantmaking focused on increasing the size of grants where appropriate to enable our grantees to continue to build their capacity and sustainability. Direct grantmaking represented over 51 percent of our total expenditures. The ratio of total funds spent on program services was 84 percent.

Our revenues rose 46 percent this year on the strength of our fundraising and as a result of the Financial Times Seasonal Appeal. Expenses were tightly controlled, resulting in a 6 percent reduction year-over-year. This fiscal discipline allowed us to carry forward 42 percent more cash than in the previous year. Our upcoming budget continues to keep expenses low relative to our grantmaking and program work. We project our grantmaking expenditures will remain consistent with this year’s.

We continue to work hard to attract passionate and engaged donors. We are confident that our success this year has allowed us to reach more people with our story of grassroots, community-based, venture philanthropy that is built on a solid foundation of metrics and measurable results. We are grateful to all who support our efforts and who, through their contributions, help us to transform the lives of children.

47 2012–2013 annual report Because of you, Ngait is leaving poverty behind.

This letter comes from Ngait, a beneficiary of Kalinga Mission for Indigenous Children and Youth Development (KAMICYDI) in the Philippines. Working with the indigenous Kalinga tribe, KAMICYDI offers nonformal education and supplemental feeding to younger children and helps youth build skills to support themselves and strengthen their communities. Ngait participated in KAMICYDI’s Youth Entrepreneurship Skills (YES) program. She is now 17 years old. special message

Because of you, she can provide for her family—

Dear Friends of GFC, and her future.

I am the youngest among four sisters, and I dream to finish my Ngait was one of 135 young people to participate in the YES program this year, studies and be able to take care of our parents. including 81 youth who, like Ngait, My parents are farmers who are working so hard in the fields, established their own businesses as a but still we are poor.

I borrowed from KAMICYDI after attending entrepreneurship hard to finish my studies so that I will not inherit our poverty training. KAMICYDI assisted me by situation. But the big question is, HOW? How can I continue my connecting me to National Food Authority, studies with rising tuition fees in school, the high cost of food and where I bought sacks of rice for a low price, rent, school supplies, and school uniforms, as well as transportation then let my parents sell the rice for from my boarding house to school? a profit. One evening, when we were about to sit down to eat, Donato I do my business part-time because I am Bumacas of KAMICYDI came to our house after walking five studying in college, and my parents help me hours from the road to our tribe. He told my family that GFC because they are farmers.

The most important question that I asked to Sir Donato was, “May I be included among the beneficiaries?” Fortunately, Donato Bumacas smiled and told my family, “This is the reason why I am here in your house, to include you again in the YES program.” With money I earned from the YES program, I enrolled in a Bachelor of Science in Forestry program at the Kalinga-Apayao State College in Tabuk City and finished my first year of college. I was promoted to my second year for 2013–2014. I really thank God for KAMICYDI in helping the poorest of the poor children—those who are losing hope, like me, to be inspired and transformed. Sir Donato told me this was made possible because of you. So, from the bottom of my heart, I really thank you for giving me hope, for giving me my basic human right to be educated, and for transforming my life into a better life. In the future when I graduate, I would like to help other people like what you are doing.
