GFPA ANNUAL CAMPAIGNS
BOOKS CAMPAIGN
Many of us have special memories of the books that have inspired us in so many ways. Many of us have learned the profound effect that reading a book can have. Books have the power to transport us to new worlds and different times, but they can also take us back to the important moments in our own lives.They also have a way to look after our mind, body, and spirit, which is why we are excited about our latest campaign.Donate a book which will go to young girls we are currently working with.
Email :- info@gfpafoundation.org to donate your book or drop off at Grand Central Airport

PERIOD POVERTY CAMPAIGN
"As more girls miss school while menstruating, it is more difficult for them to learn. With limited education, there is less of a chance for girls to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty. This is the crux of period poverty in Africa ".To read our blog about period poverty, copy the link HERE.
