GAYO
Green Africa Youth Organization is a youth-led gender-balanced advocacy group focusing on environmental sustainability and community development.
Founded in the year 2014, GAYO is dedicated to developing the human interest to observe basic natural laws and adopt the behavior of living in harmony with nature. They seek a future where there is a balanced relationship between humans and the various natural systems on which they depend in such a way that all the components are accorded a proper degree of sustainability. Over the years their work has been in diverse fields including climate change, circular economy, disaster risk reduction, sustainable agriculture, and renewable energy activism.
Mission:
To research and provide solutions to pressing environmental issues through youth empowerment, skills development and public education. GAYO works directly with local communities to reduce the vulnerability of groups that are at risk to climate impacts such as children, youth and women who have a comparatively less adaptive capacity due to social and structural inequalities
Vision:
Working to create a world whereby conserving the natural environment will be the number one priority of the masses. GAYO seeks to become an extensive organization that guides individual conscious choices in promoting sustainability and reducing the vulnerability of communities to natural hazards and socio-economic risks. We are incorporated according to the laws of Ghana.
