Description
goods for good (GFG) is a nonprofit organization that supports orphans and vulnerable children in Malawi, Africa. We provide critical material support to Malawian community centers (shoes, school supplies and school uniforms) to meet the immediate needs of children, while simultaneously building the long- term capacity of communities so that they can sustainable care for children in perpetuity. In 2012 GFG launched a Community Enterprise program, which builds small businesses in partnership with local communities to fund their orphan services. The program will revolutionize orphan care to ensure our communities can independently support local children. For more information visit www.goodsforgood.org
