Our mission is to mobilize young people both in and out of school, organize them into vibrant youth associations, and equip them with social, entrepreneurial, and developmental skills. We envision well-prepared, empowered, and progressive youth who actively drive and participate in the sustainable development of their communities. 
About GACA
ABOUT US
Empowering Youth, Transforming Communities
The Global Agency for Community Acceleration (GACA) is a registered Community-Based Organisation (CBO) under the Ministry of Labour & Social Protection in Kenya. We believe that young people are key drivers of social, cultural, economic, and political change. By empowering youth with skills, knowledge, and opportunities, we enable them to create sustainable solutions for their communities.
Our programs address critical issues such as education, health, and gender equity. Through the Menstrual Hygiene Support and Campaign Project, we work to break the stigma around menstruation, provide sanitary products, and educate girls on menstrual health—ensuring they stay in school with dignity and confidence.
At GACA, we are committed to building stronger, more resilient communities by putting young people at the center of sustainable development.
