Is GIK important in humanitarian work?
Yes! At times, GIK literally means the difference between life and death. Precious food reaches a famine-stricken nation. Fresh medicines stop an epidemic. Books provide educational opportunities otherwise not available. Vegetable seeds provide food and economic opportunity, while also improving health. 3. How does ACHF obtain GIK? The ACHF global family receives most of its GIK from businesses, service groups like Rotary Clubs, churches and other charities or humanitarian organizations. 4. Why from other charities? Businesses donate GIK the same way individuals donate money: they give to organizations they trust, and who happen to seek the “available surplus” on the day it is available! This means we get goods directly from some businesses, and other charities get goods from their own contacts. We then may consolidate our efforts for the most efficient way to help our beneficiaries do a good job for our donors. 5. How does ACHF ensure GIK´s quality? Our policy is to NEVER accept junk.
