  • Program 1 [2020]

    GIVING CHILDREN HOPE (GCH):THE MISSION OF AIM IS TO WORK WITH IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES AND, THROUGH EDUCATION, TO PROVIDE THEM THE TOOLS FOR SUCCESS. OUR PRIMARY FOCUS IS OUR WORK WITH 893 CHILDREN THROUGH A PROGRAM CALLED GIVING CHILDREN HOPE. IN 2020 DUE TO COVID THE WHOLE WORLD CHANGED; SO DID THE LIVES OF GCH CHILDREN. INDIA AND NEPAL, WHERE THE MAJORITY OF OUR GCH CHILDREN ARE FROM, HAD ALMOST 5 MONTHS OF EXTREME LOCKDOWN. SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR AFTER MARCH 2020. THIS BROUGHT IMMENSE CHALLENGES AS MANY OF THESE POOR CHILDREN DON'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO ATTEND ONLINE CLASSES. MANY OF THESE CHILDREN'S FAMILIES ARE DAY LABORERS AND DAILY WAGE EARNERS. COVID HIT THEM HARD. HOWEVER, AIM DID ITS BEST TO KEEP THEIR HOPES ALIVE IN INDIA, NEPAL, PHLIPPINES, THAILAND, ECUADOR, AND TANZANIA, AFRICA.
