What We Do
We achieve our mission by partnering with carefully vetted local nonprofits serving vulnerable communities, ensuring our efforts are both targeted and sustainable. Through these partnerships, we address the needs of these communities in the following three ways:
Partner Fundraising
We raise funds here in the USA on behalf of our vetted partners to support the most urgent humanitarian aid and community development needs.
Project Development
We design and implement community-informed development projects that address unmet needs and promote long-term self-reliance.
Raising Awareness
We shine a spotlight on underreported humanitarian crises around the world that have fallen through the cracks, driving awareness and action.
Our Current Focus
Crisis in Colombia
Colombia hosts one of the world’s largest displaced populations, made up of roughly 9.8 million displaced Colombians and Venezuelan refugees.
They are often forced to live in temporary, dangerous, and overcrowded camps like La Pista; one of the largest informal settlements in the Americas, where over 9,000 residents live on an abandoned runway in shelters made of scrap materials, struggling daily for food, clean water, and healthcare.
Recently, global humanitarian support has dramatically decreased due to sudden budget cuts, forcing many local and international non-profits to shut down or scale back vital services.
By partnering directly with local organizations, GAPs aims to:
- Restore access to essential aid and nutrition
- Strengthen community health and education
- Support local-led recovery initiatives
- Document and share their stories with global audiences
La Guajira is just the beginning. Our model is built to be scalable in other crisis regions worldwide where aid is needed most.
