We seek to bridge the gap between the privileged and the underprivileged via advocacy, support and capacity building.
Due to the continuous growth and influx of tourists into the continent, the tourism industry has at some point been criticized for various negative impacts on the environment. These include increased pressure on the natural resources, people displacement by investors in search for more land to develop, sex tourism, illegal hunting and poaching, among others. The Global Bridge For Humanity have come in handy to salvage the situation, by for instance acting as watchdogs and critics of tourism policies by governments and/or companies and other organizations that are detrimental to the environment.
While most tourist destinations are based in rural areas it is palpable that most of the host communities hardly benefit from tourism proceeds. In relation to this, The Global Bridge seeks to play a prominent role in increasing rural development, since we often work at the grassroots level. We are also frequently involved in innumerable community-based development programs such as infrastructural development that not only benefit tourists but the locals as well. By ensuring fair distribution of benefits, We seek to help in safeguarding the long term economic gains for the rural communities.
Voluntourism or volunteer travel has become popular in Africa, as more people seek to do short term volunteer work, while at the same time partaking in tourism and exploring local destinations. Most of these volunteer opportunities are provided by either local or international NGOs, thus attracting more tourists into the continent.
NGOs are said to have a common value of integration and diversity. This calls for the inclusion of all regardless of ethnicity, religion, culture, disability, gender, and nationality. The Global Bridge For Humanity therefore acts as a converging ground for different cultures, thus promoting cultural integration.
While undertaking projects, there requires manpower to ensure success and continuous development. We engage local communities to create employment in various positions both in the managerial and junior levels. This will help Ghana in tackling the ever-challenging high rate of unemployment particularly among the youth.
