Merkel Family

The Merkel Family continues to feel strongly in support- ing communities in need and collaborating with Global Brigades to implement projects aimed at ending poverty. This, along with their passion to drive sustainable change, has inspired them to contribute an additional $500,000 towards the E100 in 2019. Their continued support has helped empower GB’s partner communities to achieve a better future for generations to come. We thank the whole Merkel family in positioning Global Brigades to make the most impact possible.

AthletiCo has been involved with Global Brigades for over 10 years in directly supporting through program participation and annual donations through company wide efforts. In 2019, along with Mark and Mary Ann Kaufman, AthletiCo contributed $5,658 towards Community Health Worker training and Community Bank follow up, in support of Empowered 100 goals.

A renowned mentor and supporter of Global Brigades, we thank Jim Sartori of Sartori Cheese Inc for his generous contribution of $75,000 in supporting Squads Abroad and subsequent develop- ment of the Child Development Fund. Mr. Sartori’s guidance has also significantly influenced the Cafe Holistico initiative, focus- ing on building the capacity of our farmers while bringing more economic capital to our coffee growing communities.

DARLEY INTERNATIONAL & GIVING TUESDAY CAMPAIGN

In launching Global Brigades’ first Giving Tuesday campaign, in 2019, we would like to recognize Darley International for their generous support of $2,000 in empowering community members in Ekumpuano, Ghana. This campaign will collaborate with families to install in-home flush toilets, improving access to safe sanitation services and water quality in the community.
