Mission
GACE EMPOWERS AFRICAN COMMUNITIES TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY AND ADVANCE GENDER EQUITY THROUGH PROGRAMS IN MATERNAL HEALTH, EDUCATION, SUSTAINABLE LIVING AND FAIR TRADE DEVELOPMENT. ACTIVITIES: DIRECT SERVICES, CAPACITY BUILDING AND INFRASTRUCTURE.
Program accomplishments
- Access to Water: GACE installs deep water wells in villages in northern Ghana, providing clean and safe water for over 100 families a day. In addition to potable water, wells also help build a sense of community through shared ownership. In 2025, GACE installed one water well in Ghana.Expenses $5,720
- Reforestation: GACE planted 20,000 trees of various species (Shea, Mango, Cassia, Mahogany, Moringa, Neem, and Eucalyptus) in the Upper East region of Ghana, West Africa. This region is within the African Sahel, which forms a vulnerable "green wall" against encroaching deserts of North Africa and is a critical carbon sink for mitigating climate change. Unfortunately, there has been a lack of international attention on savanna tree cover losses, and without support for solutions, deforestation will continue. Since 2006, GACE has been planting trees to help slow tree loss and bring awareness to the issue in our communities. Our reforestation project is about survival. We increase chances of tree survival by choosing species that are suitable for the environment and by planting them with community groups, such as schools, organized farmer collectives, and shea nut collector groups. Groups are more likely to provide irrigation needed to get seedlings through the first dry season and protect the young trees from grazing livestock and wildfires.Expenses $3,500
- Administrative costs of programs, including office supplies and equipment, management of West Africa programs, travel, postage, shipping, communication, and banking costs.Expenses $5,615
