Ahmed Alqadhi
Support Yemeni Society Organization for Development SYS
When SYS lost critical funding, essential programs—including food assistance for girls in rural Yemen—were forced to pause. Ahmed is working to restore support for the communities who are facing immense challenges and need support.

Real Raymond
After Mbarara Rise Foundation lost critical funding, five HIV treatment centers for LGBTQ+ Ugandans were forced to close. With support from GlobalGiving's Community Aid Fund, Real and his team were able to reopen two clinics—offering hope to a community too often left behind.

Michael Vincent Mercado
Center for Disaster Preparedness Foundation
When a major project was paused, Michael faced difficult disruptions to community programs. Even with critical funding lost, he continues to support disaster-affected communities in the Philippines.
