GlobalGiving Project of the Month Club

Dear Project of the Month Club Member,

Across Greece, more than 4,000 kids are living without their families. 

Many of these children have been forced to flee their homes due to violence, economic instability, or the impacts of the climate crisis. Far too often, their wellbeing is threatened by poor living conditions, trafficking, and legal barriers. 

Our August Project of the Month Support the unaccompanied refugee minors in Greece by Better Days Greece is providing critical aid to these children. Better Days works holistically, offering emergency healthcare, clothing, and food as well as supporting long-term healing through counseling and legal services.

When they learned that Better Days was selected as the August Project of the Month, Outreach and Communications Coordinator Daniel Larios Gomez shared:

“We couldn't be happier to receive this recognition and support, not only for the impact that this money will have towards supporting unaccompanied asylum-seeking children but also it gives us strength and determination to continue delivering dignifying aid for as long as it's needed.”

Thank you so much for your constant generosity.

All the best,

Dear Project of the Month Club Member,

In February 2021, our July Project of the Month, HERD (Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development), took in a young elephant calf who had been caught in an illegal poaching snare. They named her Fenya. 

Fenya was severely injured and malnourished after spending nearly two months trapped and alone. Sadly, despite the HERD team’s efforts, Fenya passed away in March. Thankfully, that’s not where the story ends. 

Across South Africa, elephants like Fenya are facing high levels of poaching, most often for food or ivory. HERD gives survivors like Fenya a second chance, offering veterinary services, rehabilitation, and, eventually, a new family in the local Jabulani herd. 

Team member Che Coetzee shared this message when they learned that HERD was selected as the July Project of the Month:

“Funds from the Project of the Month Club will assist us in a major way to both manage the impacts of the elephants on the land, continue buying and providing milk, and continue meeting the costs of running the first dedicated orphanage in South Africa. The needs of the elephants in our care are great, and with your help, we can continue doing great work! Thank you.”

Thank you so much for your compassion and commitment.

Warmly,
