Globalteer's Charitable Objectives
Globalteer is a registered charity in the UK (registration number 1119706). "To promote humane behaviour towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for animals which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage and to educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals." We are an organisation independent of government, politics and religion with the objective to help projects and communities around the world. We work with environmental and animal rescue projects.
As a registered charity, Globalteer is legally required to ensure that 100% of all monies received are used to achieve the charitable objectives.
Charitable objectives:
To promote sustainable development for the benefit of the public by the relief of poverty and the improvement of the conditions of life in socially and disadvantaged communities.
Sustainable development means “development which meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Globalteer works closely with our in country projects, providing financial support and volunteers to assist in the daily running of the projects. Our vision is for the projects to be sustainable and eternal. We strive to ensure that our projects can not only sustain the amazing work that they do but also expand to ensure their continual existence. Globalteer holds a policy that the volunteers will not replace local employment but the donations supplied will pay for local support staff and permanent employment at the projects. Volunteers provide their individual skills and financial donations to enable the projects to exist and expand. Many of our projects work in extremely poor countries where funding to help the least fortunate is unavailable, volunteers from overseas make the continual existence of the projects possible.
Globalteer work in poverty stricken countries to provide assistance to those most in need.
We send volunteers to schools to provide free education to children who are unable to pay fees to go to local schools. We work closely with centres that care for children providing support and funding to allow a safe and comfortable environment in the most important and vulnerable time in their lives. In developing countries the poorest people are often overlooked as there is little governmental funding available to provide support. We work with projects that help the most vulnerable children and communities. By providing an education and vocational training to children we give them an opportunity to break the relentless cycle of poverty and support their own families by becoming a useful and productive member of their society.
We believe that communities and their environment are inter linked - if we destroy the environment we also destroy the community.
We also believe that endangered animals should be protected. We are against the exploitation of animals for tourism, medicine and the illegal wildlife trade.
The projects provide a safe environment for animals of all circumstances - whether rescued from the illegal trade or unwanted pets. The animals are either repatriated into their natural habitat or if this is not possible then homed in a safe and respectful environment for the remainder of their lives.
