The GCC projects focus on sustainable development & education in the UAE, and supporting children in Zaatari, the second largest refugee camp in the north of Jordan.
Arton Capital, the global citizenship experts, have reached new milestones in their GCC charity work through the Global Citizen Foundation.
The Charity recently announced a new programme with UNESCO, partnering Ethiopian and UAE university students as an education-based exchange course to provide students with the skills to become leaders in sustainable development.
In line with the Emirates dedication to conservation, the Global Citizen Foundation aim to inspire the next generation to preserve and protect their heritage by raising $100,000 to send 16 students to biosphere reserves in UAE and Ethiopia for two weeks where the students will work with each other and the surrounding communities to share best practice and develop reports to be used by UNESCO sustainability staff. The students will learn best practices for water-management, climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation and environmental tourism.
Arton Capital have also provided over US $40,000 to the Global Citizen Foundation’s Amal Project.
The project is based in Zaatari, the second largest refugee camp in north Jordan. With the money raised, the charity intends to provide new caravans for refugees and develop them into places where children can play, read and learn. Each caravan will be filled with toys, games and books, and will be positioned across the various regions of the camp for everyone to enjoy.
Internationally, the Global Citizen Foundation recently provided $50,000 to develop Villa Primary School in Antigua and The Holy Trinity School on the sister island of Barbuda, improving sports and educational facilities, undertaking essential repairs, and building a sick bay for the young students.
Arton Capital has also recently extended its pledge to education in the Caribbean, by supporting also the Dominica Grammar School and the PTA with the improvement of its facilities.
Commenting on the recent project milestones, Co-Founder of the Global Citizen Foundation and CEO of Arton Capital, Armand Arton said:
“At the Global Citizen Foundation, we are committed to making a difference by reaching out to children and young people who are in need. These projects will make a huge difference to the communities involved, and we are extremely delighted to be a part of their future, and look to continue to support further educational initiatives.”
“The most important investment one can make, is in education. The next generation will be the leaders of our economies, and by empowering citizens through education, we help to build a more sustainable future for all.”
The primary donators to the Global Citizen foundation, Arton Capital, the global financial advisory firm specializing in investor programs for residence and citizenship, and Varengold Bank, plays a critical role in helping governments, consultants, legal and financial professionals and investors to meet their goals quickly, efficiently and more effectively.
