The Global Opportunity Fund
What We Do
Women and children face different challenges in every community.
That's why we start by listening.
Together with our local partners, we identify the barriers holding people back and support practical, community-led solutions that create opportunity and lasting change.
Our work focuses on:
Education & Skills
Economic Opportunity
Health, Safety & Well-Being
20 Years of Experience
Our History
Building Economic Opportunity Through Local Partnerships Since 2007
Since 2007, the GO Fund has been committed to economic empowerment for women and children in Africa. Over the years, we’ve built lasting partnerships with grassroots organizations that know their communities best.
Together, we’ve supported locally led programs that provide education, job skills, and long-term opportunities.
Our History
Building Economic Opportunity Through Local Partnerships Since 2007
For nearly two decades, GO Fund has worked alongside trusted community partners in Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda.
We believe lasting change happens when communities lead the way. That’s why we invest in local leaders who understand their communities, identify their own priorities, and drive the solutions.
Our role is simple: listen, support, and help turn local ideas into lasting opportunity.
Every program is locally led and built to last.
