| FORM 990, PART III | FOUNDED IN 1996, GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR AFRICA (GAA) WORKS WITH LOCAL AFRICAN PARTNERS TO DESIGN, IMPLEMENT, AND MANAGE PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF VULNERABLE CHILDREN, YOUTH AND ADULTS IN POVERTY, AND REFUGEES IN EASTERN AND NORTHERN AFRICA. GAA DOES THIS THROUGH THREE UNIQUE PROGRAMS THAT BUILD THE EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION AND SERVICES TO HELP THESE VULNERABLE GROUPS: DIGITAL LEARNING: TRAINING STUDENTS TO ADVANCE IN A DIGITAL WORLD; COMMUNITY LIBRARIES: PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND A SAFE PLACE TO GATHER AND LEARN; THERAPEUTIC ARTS: PROVIDING VULNERABLE YOUTH THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO HELP THEM HEAL. 1. THE DIGITAL LEARNING PROGRAM - BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE WORKING WITH LOCAL PARTNERS IN TANZANIA, MOROCCO, KENYA AND UGANDA, GAA'S DIGITAL LEARNING PROGRAM TEACHES STUDENTS THE SKILLS REQUIRED FOR SUCCESS IN THE DIGITAL AGE. THE PROGRAM IS IMPLEMENTED IN CLOSE COLLABORATION WITH OUR KEY PARTNERS - LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMS. GAA BUILDS THE FOUNDATION FOR DIGITAL LEARNING BY PROVIDING LAPTOPS, TABLETS AND OTHER COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, AND BY SECURING INTERNET CONNECTIVITY FOR CLASSROOMS. IT ALSO ARRANGES FOR TEACHERS TO ATTEND WORKSHOPS AND BE GIVEN THE NECESSARY TRAINING, SO THAT DIGITAL LEARNING CAN BE EFFECTIVELY TAUGHT. OUR PARTNER SCHOOLS PROVIDE THE TEACHERS AND THE CLASSROOMS WHERE STUDENTS WILL LEARN COMPUTER SKILLS. THE PROGRAM IS HAVING AN IMPACT. IN 2023, FOR EXAMPLE, MORE THAN 9,300 STUDENTS RECEIVED INSTRUCTION IN DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. AND TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, GAA HAS PROVIDED MANY HUNDREDS OF TABLETS, LAPTOPS AND RELATED EQUIPMENT TO ITS PARTNER SCHOOLS. MOST IMPORTANT, THE PROGRAM IS WORKING. AS SHOWN BY EXAMS AND OTHER EVALUATION METHODS, THE STUDENTS IN GAA'S PROGRAMS ARE LEARNING HOW TO USE COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY AND ARE GAINING CRUCIAL DIGITAL SKILLS. THE PROGRAM IS ALSO COST EFFECTIVE, HAVING AN APPROXIMATE COST OF US UPDATE PER STUDENT PER YEAR. IN SUM, GAA IS HELPING COMBAT THE DIGITAL DIVIDE THROUGH THESE PROGRAMS, AND IS PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR A BETTER FUTURE FOR MANY THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS. 2. COMMUNITY LIBRARIES - PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES AND A SAFE PLACE TO GATHER AND LEARN GAA PARTNERS WITH COMMUNITIES TO OPERATE LIBRARIES IN SLUMS AND REMOTE RURAL AREAS OF EAST AFRICA. THE LIBRARIES MEET A CRUCIAL NEED - THEY PROVIDE A SAFE SPACE FOR YOUTH TO STUDY AND HAVE ACCESS TO CURRICULUM APPROVED SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS. THE PURCHASE OF TEXTBOOKS IS BEYOND THE MEANS OF MANY LOCAL FAMILIES, AND THE LIBRARIES ARE FOR MANY THE ONLY PLACE WHERE STUDENTS CAN DO REQUIRED CLASSWORK AND STUDY FOR EXAMS. THE LIBRARIES GIVE FAMILIES ACCESS TO COMPUTERS AND THE ABILITY TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET. THEY ALSO SERVE AS A COMMUNITY CENTER, WHERE GROUPS CAN GATHER TO ADDRESS MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY. EACH LIBRARY IS MANAGED BY A LOCAL LIBRARIAN AND SUPPORT STAFF. IN A TYPICAL YEAR, THE LIBRARIES SERVE BETWEEN 20,000 - 25,000 USERS, AND HOLD OVER 40 COMMUNITY EVENTS. DURING 2023, THE LIBRARIES INCREASED THEIR COLLECTION OF TEXTBOOKS FOR PRIMARY AND SECONDARY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, AS REQUIRED BY THE KENYA AND TANZANIA MINISTRIES OF EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, GAA CONTINUED TO WORK ON INCREASING THE LIBRARIES' COMPUTER ACCESS AND INTERNET CONNECTIVITY, AND OFFERING DIGITAL LEARNING PROGRAMS. 3. THERAPEUTIC ARTS - PROVIDING VULNERABLE YOUTH THE RESOURCES NEEDED TO HELP THEM HEAL GAA COLLABORATES WITH FACULTY FROM THE SCHOOL OF THE ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO AND GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY TO TRAIN EAST AFRICANS IN THERAPEUTIC ARTS APPLICATIONS. THE EAST AFRICAN PARTICIPANTS INCLUDE ARTISTS, MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND EDUCATORS. THE PROGRAMS FOCUS ON DEVELOPING AN AFRICAN-BASED MODEL OF THERAPIES, USING VISUAL, MUSIC, DANCE AND THE DRAMATIC ARTS. THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO BUILD A CORE OF LOCAL PARAPROFESSIONALS WHO CAN HELP HEAL TRAUMATIZED CHILDREN USING CREATIVE ARTS TECHNIQUES. IN A TYPICAL YEAR, GAA PROVIDES PARA-PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN THERAPEUTIC ARTS TO APPROXIMATELY 20 INDIVIDUALS AND THE PROGRAM REACHES OVER 1,500 STREET CHILDREN AND YOUTH, AS WELL AS CHILDREN AND YOUTH FROM LOCAL PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS. IN 2023, GAA CONDUCTED A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS AND ART THERAPY TRAINING PROGRAMS IN KENYA. PARTICIPANTS INCLUDED THERAPEUTIC ARTS FACULTY AND STUDENTS FROM A NUMBER OF UNIVERSITIES. GAA ALSO CONTINUED TO COLLABORATE WITH LOCAL PARTNERS IN KENYA TO CONDUCT THERAPEUTIC ARTS PROGRAMMING TO ADDRESS THE SURGE DURING THE PANDEMIC OF TEEN PREGNANCIES AND SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES, INCLUDING HIV/AIDS. 4. GAA'S CORE VALUES IN CARRYING OUT ITS PROGRAMS, GAA ADHERES TO THESE FOUR CORE VALUES: 1.OFFERING THE POOREST AND MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN, YOUTH AND ADULTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE THEIR EDUCATION AND IMPROVE THEIR ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL POSITIONS. 2.FOCUSING ON TRANSFORMATIONAL AND SUSTAINABLE CHANGE. 3.TAILORING PROGRAMS TO FIT THE NEEDS AND ASPIRATIONS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. 4.HUMILITY IN ENGAGING WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES, AND WORKING WITH PEOPLE AS EQUALS. |
