About Us
We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with official status in both the United States & Kenya that seeks to empower women and children in underserved communities in Kenya. We are committed to delivering measurable, sustainable impact in alignment with local needs.
Why We Are Inspired
Respected Kenyan journalist and community advocate, Gladys Adisa Erude, died in Aug 2021 after a battle with cancer. Gladys was born in Tigoi, Vihiga County, where she attended Tigoi Primary School and Lugulu Girls High School . She trained as a teacher before making her mark as a celebrated broadcaster. Through GEO, her six sons seek to uphold their mother’s dedication to children’s education and women’s empowerment, and to inspire others and mobilise support.
Our Mission
