Throughout 2024, GLOW's initiatives made a significant impact:
● Global Health Campaigns: In partnership with the Ushalakshmi Breast Cancer Foundation (UBF), GLOW conducted health research and launched a social media campaign targeting 100,000 women in rural India. This campaign aimed to raise awareness about early detection of breast cancer and worked to reduce mortality rates through education and outreach.
● Flood Relief in India: The organization provided emergency aid to over 2,000 flood-affected individuals in rural India, helping families rebuild after devastating floods.
● Supporting Refugees with AI: GLOW developed a multilingual AI companion for refugees, available in five languages, to assist with cultural integration, language learning, and access to essential resources, easing the transition for displaced individuals into new environments.
● Food Security Initiatives: GLOW assisted E2G, a social enterprise that delivered 10,000 high-nutrition food bars to individuals in six countries, addressing hunger and providing vital nutritional support to vulnerable communities.
● Empowerment through Art: In Lebanon, GLOW hosted art and empowerment workshops for 250 Syrian refugee children, promoting self-confidence and emotional resilience through creative expression.
● Mental Health Support: GLOW collaborated with mental health experts and displaced children to create therapeutic journals to provide a creative outlet for navigating trauma and displacement, helping foster emotional resilience and well-being.
These efforts are part of GLOW's broader commitment to building a more connected, resilient, and compassionate global community.
