 What is Life Without Impacting?

According to John C. Maxwell “Be Intentional to Add Value to Every Person You Meet Every day”. “Touching and impacting every life that cross our path is a sign of value of Love we received from our Creator”.

GSK Initiative “realize that one of the ways, we can leave a footprint is when we have a positive impact in another human lives”. The blissful dew of the week rose with the strength of fulfilment in impacting the lives of the street connected children.

As the way of impacting the lives of the street children, GSK Initiative staff engaged the street connected children with activities that can enhance their mental abilities which involves Literacy Class, Psychosocial activities and Moral Talk for the week. The literacy class activities with them serve as means of bringing education to them since the access to formal education is not accessible for them.

Psychosocial activities are another brilliant way of testing and developing their creative abilities to solve problems. Also, Moral talk session helps to bring to their awareness some moral values that is acceptable in the society and educate them on behavior / habit they should do without.

Also, GSK Initiative staff reach out to our OVC in their various centre where they are learning vocation and they are performing well We believe by engaging these Children with activities we are reforming and preparing them to be better in character and also to become a responsible individual in the society.

Global Support for kids Initiatives Extends her program Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC)

GSK INITIATIVE extends her program to ORPHANAGE AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN (OVC) amidst the global crises of COVID_19. Covid-19 has succeeded in pushing so many children to the street. They are more vulnerable to covid-19 affliction as they roam about the streets aimlessly hoping to find their daily breads. As a result, they become incapacitated in even protecting themselves against viruses, diseases et al life-threatening pandemic diseases.

GSK over the years have been able to bridge the gap of rightfully connecting these street children to their society. We've been able to show them the need to be a better part of the society and not a threat to it through proper psychological orientation.

Also, some helpless children dropped out of school due to lack of financial support from parent and primary caregiver. These street children are out there going through sufferings, hunger, fear and societal hostility

We at GSK have been able to take them off street to build them ahead as future Leaders of our great nation.

Over the years, GSK have been able to help these children by ensuring that they feel loved, provide basic needs and most importantly fix them to acquire proper education and skills to be self-sufficient and responsible individuals in the society.

We intend to be the hope for these kids, put smiles on their faces and most importantly make them relevant in our society- not today alone but tomorrow and beyond.

GSK intends to make them feel loved and important too. And that's why you need to partner with GSK in making these children become a better version of themselves. your support would go a long way...

Indeed, they are the future of tomorrow, and they need our love and support.
