EMPOWER

A WOMAN.

A CHILD.

A COMMUNITY.

What we do

The Global Alliance for Community Empowerment, GACE, empowers women in Togo and Ghana, West Africa, by advancing fair trade of natural resources, expanding access to education, water and maternal health services, and reducing the impacts of climate change.

While you were cleaning your teeth this morning, a woman died due to pregnancy complications or childbirth. There’s a 70% chance she lived in West Africa.

Only 1 in 4 children from the poorest communities of Togo finish primary school; the other 3 face an increased chance of being trafficked for sex work or hard labor.

An area larger than Hawaii is deforested in West Africa every year. 77% of rainforests are now gone, intensifying warming temperatures in an already vulnerable region.

Drinkable Water

76% of people in rural Ghana and over 80% in Togo do not have access to water free from fecal matter and dangerous chemicals, such as arsenic and fluoride.

When you partner with GACE, you change lives.

Your impact is proportionate to your contributions, every dollar matters. Thank you for your support.

$11 = a safe place for a student to learn for one month
$45 = clean drinking water for a child for 30 years
$200 = a healthy birth for a mother and child at risk
$600 = a replanted acre of life sustaining forest

Impact

Collaboration and partnership is the foundation of GACE’s success.  By addressing local priorities we impact communities now and for future generations.
