Our organization has direct horrible human experiences exchange and witnessing with this group.........
Their posture and pace reflect desperation rather than choice, a journey driven by the absence of basic necessities such as clean water, education, electricity, and livelihoods and sometimes because the soil under their feet is full of minerals: and their is fighting in their villages and homes, and their life also is sometimes at risks..
But many dream, as portrayed as hovering above them a dreamlike picture of developing countries which, sharply contrasts their harsh realities. Inside it are gleaming modern cities, towering skyscrapers, airplanes, stacks of money, and luxury cars—images of the “paradise” many displaced people imagine when they think of developed countries. This vision represents hope, opportunity, and relief from suffering, and reality, highlighting how migration is often fueled not by excess ambition, but by unmet basic needs at home.
It is survival that pushes them out of their homes and countries. It is a visual reminder that when communities lack the fundamentals of life, migration becomes an act of hope—an attempt to reach a life away from poverty.
FROM POVERTY TO SUSTAINABILITY
Verified Nonprofit Global Hand Incorporated /Gateway 26, a 501(c)(3) Organization working since the early 2000s, in Africa. Members of Global Hand—teachers, social workers, and business specialists—have volunteered their time organizing shipments of books and supplies, training teachers, and helping establish schools across Africa. In many cases these efforts were still undertaken by self funding and a few family foundations.
Our founders were deeply influenced by the experiences of one member who worked as a refugee resettlement specialist Through years of service in refugee camps, she heard thousands of stories from families displaced by conflicts linked to control of natural resources and causing systemic poverty and even civil distress.
These experiences strengthened Global Hand’s commitment to education as a pathway toward stability, dignity, and opportunity for impoverished and poor communities in Africa.
