Goodwill and Growth for Africa UK (GAGA)

Who we are

GAGA UK is a small charity, having a big impact. Our mission is to generate growth for African children and communities devastated by HIV/AIDS and poverty, through the goodwill of people in the UK and elsewhere.

Our Objectives are: 

• To relieve poverty and sickness in South Africa and elsewhere in particular by providing relief to orphans and their carers.
   
• To advance education, training, personal development and employment including self-employment, partnerships and co-operatives of children and/or their carers in South Africa and elsewhere.
   
• To preserve and protect health of children and their carers in South Africa and elsewhere.

Our main activities are to raise and distribute funds to partner projects in South Africa and elsewhere, namely in Tanzania, and also any other African country and project, which the board of trustees deems worthy.

We continue to focus on health care and education, and in particular on areas affected by HIV/AIDS and poverty. A large proportion of our funds are distributed to the running of the clinic at 1000 Hills Community Helpers.  Regarding education, we have a broader spectrum, supporting one low-primary school on an ongoing basis in South Africa, as well as other schools or (mainly pre or primary) educational projects in South Africa and Tanzania. We have continued to further the skills of the teachers we are working with, and are continuing to help eleven students to further their education at university or college.

Our staff, trustees and volunteers continue to fundraise in the UK and our regular donors continue to help us deliver our objectives as listed above. We continue to be supported by our regular donors, as well as major donors and with funds also being raised through community events.

We have a small team of committed Trustees plus our Development Manager working hard to deliver GAGA's mission through partner organisations.
