What I Do

"I have a passion to grow leaders and organizations that enable vulnerable communities and societies to lead sustainable and fulfilled lives."

GAC also believes in the transformational power that communities hold when correctly facilitated to drive their own development, and has a passion to support the growth of appropriate grassroot organizations to tap into this energy. GAC also acknowledges that within the aid sector in what are commonly called developing countries, a lot depends on whether funders are willing to work in ways that allow communities to gain their voice and become active in determining their development priorities.
