GlobaLocal

The GlobaLocal initiative is designed to connect local action around college campuses to real change happening for children in other countries. GlobaLocal projects raise awareness in our communities about the issue of child survival and raise funds to benefit children’s health programs abroad.

How can projects in Kentucky help children in Peru? Through education, awareness, advocacy and fundraising. SCCS is always updating our lists of worthwhile organizations to support, various projects to carry out and hundreds of simple ideas for organizing and fundraising which should help you get started in making a difference!

SCCS has compiled lists of projects and ideas from our collective decades of experience. Please use this list as you pick projects for the upcoming semester and please send in your ideas and successes as well so that we can all learn and share.
