WELCOME TO GAED.

We empower Guinean youth with the tools and resources they need to succeed academically.

The Guinean Alliance for Education and Development is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. Your gift is tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. 

who we are.

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting Guinean lives through education.

The right to education is a fundamental human right. We believe that access to education should not be restricted by an individual geographic location or family’s financial circumstances. The Guinean Alliance for Education and Development is working with communities to expand access to quality education for Guinean youth, so they can pursue their dreams, build a better life, and realize their full potential.

By forging strategic partnerships with local communities and government agencies, and providing financial scholarships, academic resources, and mentoring opportunities, we aim to empower individuals and cultivate a brighter future for all Guineans.

 

Sponsor A Student.

Give The Gift Of Education.

Without the opportunity to learn, an individual cannot reach their full potential and are more likely to remain trapped in cycles of poverty. Sponsoring a student is a powerful way to make a lasting impact on their life.

Your sponsorship will cover the cost of books, supplies, and other essential expenses, lifting the financial burden from the student’s shoulders. This support allows them to focus wholeheartedly on their studies without distraction.

As a sponsor, you’ll receive regular updates on the student’s progress, allowing you to witness firsthand the impact of your contribution. Contact our team to learn more about sponsorship opportunities.

How We Help.

we transform lives through equitable access
to quality education.

Every child deserves access to an education.

We believe that financial barriers should never stand in the way of education. Our A.S. Timbo Scholarship Program provides deserving students with the funding they need to cover tuition, books, supplies, and other essential expenses. By alleviating these financial burdens, we empower students to focus on their studies and achieve their academic goals.

 

Access to the right tools is crucial for academic success.

From backpacks filled with notebooks, pens, and other essential school supplies, to shiny new computers, and sleek bicycles to ride into a brighter future, we provide students with the tools needed to stay organized, complete their assignments, and engage fully in their education.

 

Navigating school can be challenging, but with the right support, students thrive and succeed.

Our peer mentoring program pairs students with mentors who offer support, guidance, and encouragement. In this program, the peer mentors share their experiences, help with tricky assignments, and celebrate successes, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

 

Preparing for the future is just as important as succeeding in school.

Our career mentoring program connects students with seasoned professionals who provide valuable insights, resume tips, interview tricks, and career advice. Our mentors help students unlock their potential and pave the way for successful careers.

 

Make A Gift.

Latest Campaigns.

From enabling equitable access to education to championing initiatives that empower students to succeed, each of our campaigns is a powerful force for positive change. Whether we’re rallying support for our scholarship program, or fighting to eliminate barriers to learning, our goal remains the same: making education accessible and inclusive for all Guinean youth.

 

Scholarships.

Countless talented students in Guinea can't afford school fees and living expenses due to limited resources. Our A.S. Timbo Scholarship provides financial scholarships, empowering them to pursue their academic dreams.

Computers.

Without access to computers, Guinean students struggle to access educational resources, complete assignments, and develop digital skills. Our Tech. For Success Initiative provides free computers, empowering them to succeed academically.

School Supplies.

In Guinea, many students start the school year without basic essential supplies due to financial constraints. Our School Supplies Initiative provides free supplies, ensuring they have the tools needed to learn and succeed in the classroom.
