The Global Fund for Children works to advance the dignity of children worldwide. It pursues this mission by making small grants to innovative community-based organizations working with many of the world’s most vulnerable children, and by harnessing the power of children’s books, films, and documentary photography to promote global understanding.

In this audio-recorded program, Victoria Dunning, Vice President for Programs at the Fund, outlines the Fund’s view of what children need to succeed: learning, safe places, a healthy mind and body, and enterprise (life and workplace skills). Ms. Dunning spoke at the Foundation Center's Washington, DC office on June 5, 2012.
