GOAL is partnering with Guinness World Record holder and ultra-triathlete Shangrila Veniegas Grube Rendon to create a program geared toward the prevention and healing of s*xual abuse in the Philippines. Ms. Rendon is taking on the world’s longest and most challenging cycling race (the Red Bull Trans-Siberian Extreme 5,700 miles) in an effort to raise both awareness and money to fund the implementation of the RACCE program.

Please join us by giving generously. Every donation helps provide, hope, counseling and valuable resources to those in need.

Today we were able to help a farmer protect his land and family from elephants by purchasing beehives to place along the boarder between his property and the Queen Elizabeth National Park. Elephant conservation is of growing importance in East Africa as humans and wild animals become entangled in land conflicts.

In addition to the beehives we were also able to purchase 21 goats for a community with a great vision of paying it forward...each family will give a new goat (offspring of the ones we purchased) to one of their goatless neighbors with the commitment that they will do the same thereby increasing the wealth and health of their community.

This March GOAL plans to visit Uganda with a focus on helping young women better understand and manage menstruation. Menstrual hygiene and management is a topic largely ignored by organizations and professionals in the water, health and education sectors. Our objective is to educate and provide the girls attending the Buhoma Community school with reusable sanitary products that will get them through a full year of schooling without having to miss days due to their periods. In Uganda, a supply of sanitary pads for a single girl costs one tenth of the family income and is a luxury the majority of families cannot afford. As a result, the impact of menstruation results in over 60% of puberty age female pupils missing 11% of the school year. Additionally, 40% of female teachers also absent themselves from teaching due to lack of adequate menstruation management supplies. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon in rural areas for classes to be entirely canceled when a female teacher gets her period. If female students and teachers do not share the same cycle time frame as is often the case, the combined effect is young girls missing 22% of the school year due to menstruation management conflicts alone. Imagine missing nearly one quarter of the school year as a student because of your period? Managing menstruation can be a life-restricting monthly nightmare for women and girls in Uganda. Help us make a difference. Your contribution will provide the gift of education, sanitation and health. Please join us in being a part of disrupting poverty and donate now. www.theglobalgoal.org

This month marks the one year anniversary of our Thailand clean water, malaria prevention and HPV research projects. Last year at this time GOAL installed sustainable biosand water filters in several villages throughout Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. These filters changed the lives of over 2,500 people by giving them access to safe drinking water for the next
20+ years.

According to Johns Hopkins Malaria Research Institute, Malaria kills over 1 million people annually. GOAL is trying to help minimize this epidemic through the distribution of chemically treated mosquito netting in affected areas. GOAL distributed netting to protect over 1000 people in northern Thailand.

Our CEO, CMO and VP conducted a medical research and information gathering symposium to help determine the greatest needs within the women's services specialty. Our research encompassed analyzing the need for an HPV vaccination to prevent cervical cancer in women involved in the s*x trade.
