INTERNATIONAL NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION

Global Family Village (GFV) is an international nonpolitical, nonprofit organization, working in the field of child welfare. GFV was established in the U.S. as an international nongovernmental organization (INGO) in March 2007 by Freema Davis as a vehicle to raise funds for programs to help disenfranchised children and to support the creation and implementation of family-centered community-based care for orphaned and abandoned children in Nepal.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

GFV is headed by Executive Director Freema Davis and governed by an international  volunteer Board of Directors, who have extensive Nepal and are committed to helping its disenfranchised children realize a more positive future.

AGREEMENTS

GFV and the Social Welfare Council (SWC) of Nepal signed a General Agreement, dated June 4, 2007, thereby creating Global Family Village (GFV). Under Nepali law, an INGO like GFV must sign a Project Agreement for all programs and activities and must implement these programs through approved non-government organizations (NGOs). GFV has agreements to partner with multiple NGOs, all chosen for their expertise and excellence in their program implementation. (See Our Partners.) GFV provides overall coordination, oversight of all activities, and final reporting to governmental agencies and donors. GFV’s office in Nepal is run by a Nepali staff. They are in constant communication with the executive director, who divides her time between Nepal and the U.S. There is a dedicated Nepali Board of Directors and Advisors  that meets regularly and generously volunteers their time to share their experience and expertise.
