How long has GSC been doing community development work in East Africa?
GSC has been active in East Africa since the beginning of 1994. Up until early 2001, our work involved both sustainable agricultural (BIA) projects and HIV/AIDS education in Kenya. The skill and initiative of our participants, coupled with the experience of our Kenyan collaborators, allowed these programs to grow very quickly. Consequently, GSC, and NGO in Tanzania decided to expand both the HIV/AIDS Prevention and Nutrition Education Program, and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security Program into Tanzania, one of the world’s poorest countries. To help us operate in Tanzania, we are collaborating with local and international NGOs, community educators and local leaders.
