2013 Emergencies: help us protect Maasai girls from FGM in Kenya and expand our Foster Care Network in Afghanistan
Dear Global Roots supporters,
We currently have two emergency projects that must be funded this fall.
The first is the Rescue Center for Carole Nangeya’s runaway Maasai girls in Kilgoris, Kenya. This urgent project sits outside our main thrust of building greenhouses and chicken-egg coups, but it is so important that we can’t just look the other [...] -
Dutch child’s rights advocate Tatjana Maul joins the fight to protect the Maasai 72 from female genital mutilation.
Dear friends,
I have been following the work of Global Roots for over a year and I recently volunteered to help this innovative children’s charity support a brave Maasai woman who is fighting to keep 72 Maasai girls in school and protect them from the human rights violation of female genital mutilation and forced marriage.
I will [...] -

Global Roots helps locals support children in places where social services don’t exist
Without food, children can’t begin to love…and without emotional support, children — even the well fed ones — can turn into monsters.
Global Roots brings support to local humanitarians who are already helping children — usually by erecting a state-of-the-art, drip-system greenhouse with adjoining chicken egg pens.
Our greenhouses give neglected children a chance to commune with [...] -
Global Roots funds the rescue of ten orphaned children in Afghanistan
Global Roots has worked with local humanitarians to plant Children’s Gardens in several of the world’s most dangerous regions — including Badakhshan, Afghanistan.
We traveled to Afghanistan for the first time in 2010 to meet Janagha Jaheed, a local humanitarian who had made a name for himself building schools in places where schools had never existed. [...] -

WHAT WE DO: we seek out and support local humanitarian angels who have defied the odds to care for children born into war, illness and abject poverty.
HOW WE DO IT: our 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 but they are all governed by effective anti-corruption strategies.
This Flow Chart shows how we fight corruption both in the field and at home to spend over 90% of every dollar donated on the children we support — not on salaries, advertising, fundraising or any other central admin expense. All funds spent on projects in the field are monitored by a four-tiered oversight team.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: make a tax-deductibale donation by credit card or come with us on a service trip.
Please click on the following links to learn more about our projects. We are active in global hotspots where we have already found and tested a local partner who accepts our demands for 100% transparency. Please help us find more local humanitarian angels to support!
