International Charity: “Feeding a Child every time we Clean”
How it Works?
Every time we clean a customer’s home, we’re committed to make an impact in the world. We decided to start with Pereira in Colombia our country. The program is called “Feeding a Child every time we Clean”…which basically means that Gmaids will take a percentage of every invoice and donate it to this little kids towards their daily lunch. Our goal this year is to donate 1000 to 1200 lunches.
- 1 service provides 1 meal a day for 1 child.
So when you hire Gmaids.com you’re helping fight the hunger and ignorance in Colombia.
Who are these Kids?
These are disadvantaged Colombian children (from 5 to 19 yrs old) that live in the rural area of Dos Quebradas 30 minutes from Pereira, Colombia (view map). They assist daily to school called Escuela Jose de las Mangas but their parents have a really difficult financial situation, the school is partly supported by the local government, to provide basic schools supplies and lunch to kids. The main goal is:
- To collect funds sufficient to provide meals for 147 children at a cost $5.50 dollars monthly per child for a total $808 dollars per month.
We decided to make this a focus and with help of our customers input we decided to change the Company name and our hearts. We’re not a non-profit, but our mission is help as much as we can.

Why we help?
The main reason is that we believe in Matthew 25:35 and one of our passions in life is to build schools of this kind, where we take these kids and help them become what God designed them to be, living out of poverty and knowing their purpose in life.
