OUR PROGRAMS AIM TO STRENGTHEN THEIR COMMUNITIES IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THEIR LIVES AND CREATE SUSTAINABLE CHANGE TO HELP THEM ACHIEVE A BETTER FUTURE. WITH THAT PURPOSE IN MIND WE DEVELOP PROGRAMS IN MULTIPLE AREAS. Education Access to education is a basic human right and the most powerful tool to fight against poverty and exclusion. With that goal we work to promote universal access to education, reduce absenteeism, improve literacy rates and enhance local educational policies. We provide school supplies and materials, we build or improve infrastructures and furnish schools with adequate equipment. We also promote capacity building opportunities for educators, school staff, families and community leaders in order to enhance their ability to improve their own futures. Governance and civil society Many of the people we work with have long been excluded or marginalized from local governance and do not actively participate in civil society. Sometimes they have been excluded for generations, they have been denied access to education or healthcare and they have lost their voice in decision-making forums, for reasons of gender, ethnicity or social and economical reasons. Our educational and capacity building programs aim to promote active citizenship and participation in decision-making processes in order for communities and individuals to be able to shape their own development. Health Health is intrinsically linked to development and the lack of it is one of the main characteristics of poverty. Our work in this area focuses in providing access to universal healthcare and building capacities of local communities to advocate for their right to health. With that goal in mind we create programs to build capacities around hyena, sexual and reproductive health or pre and postnatal care. We also promote hygiene practices, advocate for healthy environments and build or improve healthcare facilities; in some cases we even provide direct healthcare. Human Rights We work to protect social, political and economical rights of every person, against discrimination, exploitation and all forms of abuse. Our programs aim to strengthen capacities in the communities we work in order for them to be able to protect and promote their most basic rights. Food Security We strive to guarantee food security to the most vulnerable communities by partnering with local agencies and the United Nations World Food Program. We also help strengthen local, regional and national institutions working to provide food security to their citizens. Our ultimate goal is to improve the nutritional state of all people, prioritizing children and youth. Our programs mainly take place in the school canteens where thousands of children get meals; we work with the local community and families in order to make these programs self-sustainable and to create long term impact. Through our food security programs we also improve school attendance and academic achievement. 04 GLOBAL HUMANITARIA Women and equality We work mainly in rural areas or highly marginalized urban zones in order to educate women about their rights, how to make sure they are respected and how to increase their participation in creating gender-minded public policies. We support female entrepreneurship and provide women with support around health, sexuality, nutrition and domestic violence. We promote women’s empowerment by helping them access their most basic rights: education, health and resources. Peace building Many of the areas we work at are still suffering the consequences of civil wars. There our programs focus in peace building, justice, equality and postconflict safety. We do that by defending human rights and empowering civil society. Access to education is a basic human right and the most powerful tool to fight against poverty and exclusion. 05 ORGANIZATION REPORT Global Humanitaria Programs SOME OF OUR PROGRAMS IMPROVING TUBERCULOSIS DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT Our program is aimed to improve tuberculosis treatment by developing early detection tools and treatments, reinforcing treatment completion, reducing mid-treatment abandonment and ultimately reducing mortality rates.

SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAMS TO PROMOTE HEALTH AND EDUCATION In Guatemala we have built school canteens where we serve over 57,000 meals each school year. They drastically improve malnourishment rates amongst the indigenous Maya Q’eqchi population and are an incentive for families to keep children in school. Besides providing meals we also offer capacity building trainings and workshops for teachers and school staff around food security and nutrition issues. We also work with families and the community to raise awareness about those issues.

A minimum 10% of the population has been killed or injured. Half of the population – about 11.2 million people- has had to flee their homes; of those 4.6 million have had to leave the country. The majority of these war refugees remains in neighboring countries: Iraq, Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan; half of them are children. According to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) data Jordan is sheltering at least 650,000 Syrian refugees. The real number according to Jordan authorities is over a million. Approximately 80% of them live in makeshift urban settlements while 20% are in refugee camps. Trauma, rootlessness and human rights violations Being a refugee means losing your roots and your most basic rights. For children and youth the war has been deeply traumatizing and so has been their journey to Jordan. They have been victims or witnesses of severe human rights violations: killings, mutilations, war injuries, torture, sexual violence and lack of access to the most basic resources. Their home in Jordan is usually a crammed apartment, an improvised shelter or a tent in a refugee camp. A whole generation is growing up without education. Half of the children and youth in Jordan refugee camps do not go to school; therefore child labor is prevalent. Their education has been interrupted or it never even began since many of them had been absent from school for already 18 months when they arrived in Jordan due to the constant bombing of schools during the war. A whole generation is growing up without education. Half of the children and youth in Jordan refugee camps do not go to school; therefore child labor is prevalent. 12 GLOBAL HUMANITARIA Access to physical and psychological treatments Refugee children need medical attention for general health problems but also for issues related to the war such as injuries or contagious infections -digestive, respiratory and in dermatological- all very common in refugee settlements. There is also need for tong-term treatment of higher costs such as dialysis, orthopedic surgeries or treatments for chronic illnesses like diabetes or cancer. Besides the physical consequences – amputations are common practicethe emotional and psychological trauma is also prevalent in refugee children; it is common to observe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms such as low self-esteem, phobias, fear, sleeping disorders, and self-blame; all these if untreated can lead to long-term psychological damage. Children and women, the most vulnerable of all, usually cannot access the provided health services, even if they are often free of cost: services are saturated, restricted by local authorities or inaccessible. There is real risk to lose a whole generation of Syrian children due to violence and with them hopes for a better future for Syria and the region. However hard their situation has been these children and youth are still determined and have the courage to build a better future for themselves. 13 ORGANIZATION REPORT Global Humanitaria Helping refugees “HELP THEM MOVE FORWARD” PROGRAM THE LITTLE HOPES EXHIBITION ALL CHILDREN CURRENTLY LIVING AT THE CENTER WE SUPPORT IN JORDAN PARTICIPATE IN AN ART THERAPY WORKSHOP: THEY LEARN DIFFERENT ART TECHNIQUES WHILE CHANNELING THEIR PAIN AND WORRIES THROUGH THEIR PIECES. Their artwork has great emotional meaning and we decided it was worth being showcased as a powerful tool for awareness; that is how “Little Hopes” painting exhibition was conceived. How can they rebuild their life after what happened? Do they have hope? These are questions we ask ourselves (and others) when observing their impactful pieces of art. To contextualize their artwork, pictures and videos of the war and the hardships of living in a refugee camp accompany each piece; there are also images and videos of the children’s daily lives at the center. All artwork can be seen and purchased at www. globalhumanitaria.org/tienda and all profits go towards the “Help them move forward” program. Global Humanitaria has partnered with the Jordan non-profit Al Mahd for Training and Social Development to implement a program to provide medical and emotional support for Syrian refugees in Jordan. We have identified 1,200 children living in the Zaatari and Azraq refugee camps and several urban settlements in northern Jordan; they all need urgent medical attention due to the physical and psychological trauma they have endured during the war and forced displacement. The program also works with a medical center providing services to children with injuries and amputations. At the center they receive medical attention, physical therapy and psychological and emotional services; they also provide prosthetics and orthopedics for injured and amputee children. Children with severe injuries, paralyzed or amputees live at the center for as long as they need. They receive food and shelter, medical treatments, prosthetics, orthopedic devices, physical therapy, psychological support and education. There are currently 15 children living at the center and another 10 receiving outpatient services. GOALS OF THE “HELP THEM MOVE FORWARD” PROGRAM • Build new infrastructure for medical and psychological services • Increase the number of medical staff (mostly doctors and psychologists) • Expand the program to refugee camps and urban settlements • Provide prosthetics, crutches and wheelchairs • Provide orthopedic surgery • Increase the educational and psychological programs, workshops and activities 14 GLOBAL HUMANITARIA 15 ORGANIZATION REPORT Global Humanitaria Helping refugees “HELP THEM MOVE FORWARD” PICTURE GALLERY MEDIA COVERAGE THE WORK WE DEVELOP IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WITH DIFERENT REALITIES IS CLOSELY RELATED WITH OUR KEY MESSAGES TO THE MEDIA, WICH ARE VALUABLE ALLIES IN THE COMMUNICATION FOR DEVELPMENT.
