Trust Is Earned — Platinum, Again.

“The Platinum level isn’t about prestige. It’s about accountability.” — Michael Wright, Co-Founder

For the second year in a row, GDP has received the Candid Platinum Transparency Award — a public signal that a nonprofit is willing to be fully seen. Not just the highlights, but the mission, leadership, strategy, and measurable work. Stewardship is a decision GDP makes over and over: to report honestly, to stay consistent when no one is watching, and to treat every dollar like it belongs to someone who worked hard to give it.

🌍 New Organization

Introducing Global Hearts Without Borders Network

In 2026, the Kenyan government officially recognized GDP as a registered Non-Governmental Organization — a milestone made possible by years of faithful investment from supporters like you. With that recognition came the formal launch of our sister organization: Global Hearts Without Borders Network (GHWB), operating directly under the GDP banner across Kenya and all of East Africa.

Nothing changes about who we are. Same mission. Same heart. Same team. GHWB gives us a broader runway — deeper legal access, wider reach, and the full authority of national recognition.

GDP is no longer visitors passing through. We are permanently planted, nationally recognized — and through GHWB — truly a global mission.
