GFR is a group of regular people doing extraordinary things to change the world. One of GFR’s goals is to increase global participation in relief work. It is because of donations that GFR is able to continue its medical and sustainability projects where we travel. Without you, there would be no Global First Responder.
All donations received by GFR are added to a general fund and allocated to countries that are in need, unless the donor requests a specific GFR fund. All donated money goes to purchasing medications, medical supplies, fund construction projects such as building schools and small clinics and sustainability projects such as clean water and sanitation projects to improve overall health in developing countries.

This has been an amazing experience from a professional and personal standpoint. I came with the intention of teaching practice improvements, but I think I’ve learned just as much from them as they did from me!
