"People who make a difference in the world...hold the unshakable conviction that individuals are extremely important, that every life matters." — Katie Davis
Across the Globe Children's Foundation (ATGCF) was established by a group of liked-minded philanthropists who want to improve the lives of children who live in poverty and lack basic necessities in parts of the world that are all too often forgotten and neglected by their more prosperous neighbors.
Working with partner organizations, ATGCF aims to provide these children and their families with homes, schools, libraries, and clean water in villages that have woefully inadequate living conditons currently.
As far back as I can remember, it has been my dream to be in a position to help end the cycle of poverty and disease for children living around the globe who share the same hopes as our children here in the U.S. of living a happy, productive, and healthy life. All of us at Across the Globe Children's Foundation are honored and humbled to be able to make a difference in the lives of so many children and their families through our projects.
