Global Peace Network is a Canadian Registered Charity working in East Africa since 2007. Pos+Abilities is our rehabilitation initiative through which we provide expert clinical care to patients in under-serviced communities, as well as providing education to local clinicians who are interested in improving their knowledge and skills in rehabilitation.
100 % of your donation goes to work on the ground, to help children and their families.
Since its formation in 2007, Global Peace Network's Pos+Abilities program has helped thousands of children and their families through health care and education.
Global Peace Network is proud to be a founding member of the Global Rehabilitation Initiative – a program to increase accessibility to rehabilitation services for children and families affected by disability.
Like many small and medium-sized charities, Global Peace Network has remarkably low overhead expenses. All of our directors and officers are volunteers, so that all donations go to our local projects in East Africa.
Pos+Abilities is a program of Global Peace Network, a registered Canadian charity, and is administered by a Board of Directors with the support of an executive committee and volunteers who assist with fundraising and who travel overseas to deliver care through our clinical network.
Pos+Abilities is partnered with local governments, NGOs and community-based organizations in Africa and worldwide.

Pos+Abilities began in 2005 when Daniel Budgell travelled to Tanzania on an aid project to build a rainwater catchment system for a rural health clinic. Struck by the poverty, he saw an opportunity to help children living in the street and began sponsoring 5 kids whom he sent to school. From 5 children, we have grown into supporting hundreds over the years and we are now responsible for two rehabilitation centres, one of which is also a birthing centre.
Our mission:
To contribute to a sustainable, hopeful and progressive future for those most impoverished in the world through the development of health care and the provision of education to those who have demonstrated need and commitment.
Vision :
We envision the day when every citizen of the world has access to health care and education.
"It was incredible. Being a clinician and working with local medical officers allowed me to grow professionally and personally. The relationships that I formed through the experience continue to influence my life today. "

We are dedicated to improving the lives of those in greatest need. None of our directors or administrative staff receive any financial compensation, so that 100 % of your donation goes to work on the ground, to help children and their families. Visit our Canada Helps page to make a donation. Donations over $20 receive a tax receipt.
