Global Aid Foundation, Inc. is a New York State, IRS 501(c)(3) registered charitable foundation; was founded in 1993 in Astoria, New York, by a group of concerned laypeople and clergy —from all religious backgrounds— to conduct nonsectarian activities which are exclusively charitable and educational within the meanings of Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.

GAF’s primary purpose is to provide relief aid and developmental assistance. Current worldwide distressed socioeconomic conditions forecast, that is expected to continue for the next half century, and an increase in the number of people who will be forced to live below poverty levels.

GAF strives to do as much as possible in preparation of providing support for those who lack the most basic needs to survive. A mandate of the Foundation is to create public awareness and a sense of commitment to assisting those on need.

The scope of our assistance range from providing medical services in impoverish areas to building schools, shelters and community centers in developing countries as well as addressing the needs of the metropolitan inner cities in the U.S.A. and abroad.

Also, one of our main goals is to contribute in the pursuance of assisting those afflicted by AIDS and educating the general public about the tremendous need for support to those affected by this illness.

GAF firmly believes that by enhancing and expand our cultural knowledge from a multinational point of view will provide each and every one of us with an opportunity to have a better understanding of the many groups that populate this earth; and the entire universe; we strive to be joined in the bonding universal force of peaceful coexistence and growth. To achieve this goal we promote cultural events.

A Word from the chairman of the board.

Every night, when we go to bed, Do the thought of suffering, starving and abandoned children cross our minds? Do we ask ourselves what will happen to them the following morning?.

I don’t think so. In fact, I believe we avoid and push away any concern on the subject. Our being has become so permeated to human suffering that our senses are numb to pay any attention.

Can you envision what we could achieve if we just come together in our efforts to alleviate suffering? Can you foresee eradication of social injustice by working together?

Divine Justice

We can make a worldwide difference. It is a matter of been truly members of the human race as a whole. I am a Christian, and because of my beliefs I am compel to respect other forms of faith and religious practices; but it is my efforts as a member of Divine Creation that I am able to feel God’s hands driving me and many others to work harder each day to bring peace and justice.

Encouraging others

We can read and write thousands of pages about other people suffering and needs; although it has not changed worldwide opinion and participation to respond to the needs of others.

There is only way to come together without regards of our religious, ethnic, age or gender background, COMMITMENT and UNDERSTANDING, (Stewardship and Service).

Making a Difference

Each and one of us must decide how we want to help, -- don’t just give a financial contribution, (but don’t forget either to give); we must get involved physically, -- plan our time, so involvement can be savoir; we must choose a theme -- what need compels you the most; speak to your family a/o friends about your concerns, -- conscience for others needs requires everyone participation; focus your attention, -- don’t seek out unreachable projects, find something you can do right away (don’t leave for tomorrow what can be done today.)
