    Meet your organization

    As a non-profit organization, Golden Aya, partners with other organizations, institutes, and social groups around Africa and its diaspora to find, set up, and execute our projects. As we travel abroad and connect with other like entities, we conduct research to find the most beneficial and feasible projects that will bring development to our communities. We focus on building self sustaining communities as well as educating locals in the areas that will guide them into becoming valuable citizens in their society.   

    ​

    Our goal is to always involve the community in our projects. This gives the community the opportunity to take the project in the direction that will help benefit them the most. Locals in their community usually become our biggest volunteers, however, we invite and urge others from abroad to come and help as well. With the help from sponsors, donors, and volunteers our projects become very mission possible.
