This year – in partnership with PayPal – Facebook will MATCH up to $7-million<\/strong> of donations made on #GivingTuesday!<\/span><\/p>\n The power of peer-to-peer fundraising is not to be overlooked. With just a few clicks of a button, you have the opportunity to raise much needed funds this #GivingTuesday that can support the rescue of a child from trafficking or provide much needed medical care to an underserved indigenous woman or child<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The setup is simple and we will provide you with necessary details in an easy-to-follow #GivingTuesday ToolKit that will even offer images and suggested text you can use to kick-off your fundraiser.<\/span><\/p>\n Simply click the link below to sign-up and let us know how you would like to participate and we\u2019ll be in touch with further details and all the tools you need to run a successful #GivingTuesday fundraiser.<\/span><\/p>\n SIGN-UP NOW<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n For the past 7 years GoPhil has supported the growth and sustainability of more than 40 small, grassroots organizations working in severely marginalized communities around the world.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Partner programs are typically small and relatively fragile, yet they are tackling huge global issues such as child labor, human trafficking, gender bias, and lack of access to health care and education.\u00a0<\/span>Much of our work involves reaching indigenous populations and ethnic minorities who oftentimes have the least access to basic human rights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n GoPhil\u2019s portfolio of partner programs is made up of courageous\u00a0people quietly accomplishing great things. Many of the founders are victims themselves \u2014 people who had the courage to stand up against injustices.<\/span><\/p>\n #GivingTuesday fundraisers will support GoPhil in continuing to identify, vet and support these programs as well as maintaining the rigor involved in mentorship, leadership development, tracking funds and measuring results.<\/span><\/p>\n Indigenous Mayan people of Guatemala remain the most undereducated, underprivileged and unrepresented segment of society as the result of a vastly corrupt government. Access to quality health care is a crippling reality in Mayan communities.<\/span><\/p>\n GoPhil partner ASSADE<\/a><\/strong> is a small yet passionate team of courageous change makers providing 10,800 indigenous patients each year with frontline health care services that blend both western and Mayan methods of healing.<\/span><\/p>\n #GivingTuesday fundraising for ASSADE will provide a much needed ultrasound machine to diagnose critical maternal, neonatal and internal medical issues.<\/span><\/p>\n Many indigenous communities in the mountainous regions of Nepal receive little to no healthcare services. GoPhil partner PHASE<\/strong><\/a> offers desperately remote and deprived villages in Nepal access to basic healthcare.<\/span><\/p>\n PHASE recruits and trains passionate and energetic young female health workers to become confident health care providers. These women single-handedly offer preventative and primary level care as well as emergency care for villages of up to 4,000 people.<\/span><\/p>\n #GivingTuesday fundraising for PHASE will provide salaries for additional rural healthcare providers.<\/span><\/p>\n Every day countless girls from Vietnam and neighboring countries are trafficked to China and sold into brothels or as brides to Chinese men.\u00a0 <\/span>Many of these victims come from ethnic minorities lacking education and opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n
