GleeChild Initiative is dedicated to addressing and making a tangible impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 2, 3 and 4 – No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-being and quality education.

We take a holistic approach to development, recognizing the interconnectedness of these three critical SDGs.

At GleeChild Initiative, we believe that every child deserves a fair chance at a prosperous and healthy life.

Our mission is to tackle the root causes of poverty, hunger, and health disparities that affect children globally. Through innovative and sustainable initiatives, we aim to build a world where no child goes to bed hungry, every child has access to quality healthcare, and poverty is a distant memory.

Everyone deserves to have a good life and all the love and support they can get, children especially. Knowing someone cares about you and believes in you changes your perspective in life, boosts your confidence and makes you see the essence of life. I decided to embark on this journey with GleeChild to give meaning to life to children who are not lucky enough to have their basic needs met and to put a smile on their faces. I am passionate about investing in their lives to ensure they have a great future and make positive impacts in the world someday. I am proud to be a part of thteam.
