The core mission of GlobalTribe is to wage war on poverty – physical and spiritual. It began in 1992 when founder Anthony Walton led a team of 30 to Romania to provide aid for the children victimized by the cruel dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. Through the years, GlobalTribe has partnered with ministries with orphanages in 5 countries, missions in the Amazon and Zambia, evangelism and homes for the poor in Baja, launched youth centers in New Zealand, and conducted the 5 Reach events. For 2010, GlobalTribe’s focus is launching a village of 350 homes in Baja, partnered with Teen Mania and Baja Christian Ministries.
