Bio
Vivian Glyck is the founder of Just Like My Child Foundation that she started following the birth of her son, Zak. Having experienced the love of a mother for her child, Vivian woke up to the value of every human life. After learning about the horrific numbers of children dying from malaria and orphaned by the AIDS epidemic, Vivian realized she had to make a difference.
Founded in 2006, the organization has dramatically impacted the lives of thousands of women and children in Uganda and Senegal (and soon the US) through initiatives in healthcare, education, microenterprise, social justice and girls empowerment. The organization is now primarily focused on implementing their Girl Power Project® which is focusing on reaching a million girls and empowering them to stay in school, avoid forced child marriage, pregnancy, violence. She was honored with the Women of Peace award, has been selected as “One of 50 People to Watch” in San Diego Magazine and was featured in MORE magazine for her work in Uganda.
