Global Roots

We support local humanitarian heroes who care for children born into war, illness or abject poverty.

HOW WE DO IT: Children’s Gardens — massive vegetable gardens and hen houses — serve as the paramount delivery vehicle for our aid. All of our projects are managed by local people and governed by effective anti-corruption strategies. We are active in global hotspots where we have already found and tested a local partner who accepts our demands for 100% transparency.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: make a tax-deductible donation by credit card or come with us on a service trip.

Rehabilitation Garden in Cambodia — we are about to plant our newest garden next to a rescue center for exploited Cambodian children.

This organizational Flow Chart shows how we fight corruption both in the field and at home so that we can devote a high percentage of every dollar donated to projects in the field — not advertising, fundraising or other central admin expenses. All funds spent on projects in the field are monitored by a four-tiered oversight team.
