Since its initial effort, the Global Children Foundation has raised and distributed more than 3 million dollars to needy children all over the world during the past y

With the momentum of the first effort, the Global Children Foundation has expanded the scope of its mission to other needy countries including Cambodia, Canada, Chad, China, Congo, East Timor, Guatemala, Haiti, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Jordan, Kenya, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Malawi, Mauritania, Mexico, Mongol, Mozambique, Nepal, Peru, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tanzania, Turkey, Ukraine, United States, and Vietnam, Zambia.
