Globus Relief (globusrelief.org) collaborates with hospitals, medical manufacturers, medical distributors, and other health-care organizations to collect in-kind donations of medical supplies and equipment, pharmaceuticals, and nutritional supplements, and distribute them where they’re most needed around the world. It recently shipped 20 pallets of protective clothing and gear to relief workers at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex in Japan and outfitted two surgical suites at the Operation Smile Cleft Care Center in Mindanao, Philippines. Globus Relief was founded in 1996 by Robert Haltom and Kelly Farmer, successful businessmen who recruited a group of young entrepreneurs to staff the organization. Globus now partners with local governmental organizations in more than 100 countries.
Each charity we feature has earned a four-star overall rating from Charity Navigator. Charity Navigator ranks not-for-profit organizations on the effectiveness of their programs, their control of administrative and fund-raising expenses, and the transparency of their operations. Four stars is the group’s highest ranking.
