02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
the GF3 is a small family charity that continues to pursue the purposes for which it was created. We largely support a Ugandan based charity - Kitega Community Centre - in terms of prevention and relief of poverty, education, provision of health care and employment training. Over the last 2/3 years we have been working with Kitega to develop its financial self-sufficiency. This strategy was based on sound international aid practice and is in keeping with Kitega's emphasis on the VICOBA model (Village Community Banking). The move towards financial self-sufficiency is all the more essential in view of the reduction in UK foreign aid and the complete axing of US Aid. Kitega has strong links with other East African countries and the loss of foreign aid to East Africa has had immediate and devastating effects. The GF3 also assists local Charities with small donations of finance, food etc. The only campaigning has been for the Scottish Child Abduction Reform (SCAR).
