Goodwill and Growth for Africa UK (GAGA) exists to support vulnerable people in marginalised communities in Africa. We do this in two ways: providing educational opportunities to children and young people, supporting them from infancy to independence, as well as providing quality healthcare to children and vulnerable people in remote rural areas where there is limited access to this vital service.

In South Africa, we support several early childhood development (ECD) projects, from creches to preschools and low primary schools as well as providing scholarships to students to complete tertiary level education. We also support projects that help the rural communities as a whole, like a primary healthcare clinic as we believe that health, nutrition and education are key enablers to lift individuals and communities out of poverty and disadvantage.

In Tanzania, we support a primary school and safe house, so that girls can access education and have a safe place to live and study.

GAGA has a strong history of working with partner organisations in Southern Africa and we are proud to have a Board of Trustees made up of individuals who have been part of that journey for the whole time, bringing experience and a wealth of knowledge to our decision-making, as well as some newer members who add their expertise and diversity.
