Bicycles for Education: GACE donated 323 bicycles to students and community health agents in Togo, West Africa. These bicycles were collected from organizations and individuals in the US, and many would otherwise have gone to US landfills. GACE has repaired & monitored over 10,000 bicycles in distribution to poor secondary school students in Togo. Our Bicycles for Education program addresses the extremely high dropout rate in rural West Africa. 80% of boys and 90% of girls in Togo do not graduate secondary school. In rural areas the distance, family chores, and lack of transportation are key barriers to education especially for girls who are burdened with daily chores like fetching wood and water, or gardening. 95% of our bicycled students are staying in school or graduating.

Reforestation: GACE planted 7,260 trees of various species (Shea, Mango, Cassia, Mahogany, Moringa, Neem, and Eucalyptus) in five prefectures of Togo, West Africa. Togo is within the African Sahel, which forms a vulnerable "green wall" against encroaching deserts of North Africa and is a critical carbon sink for mitigating climate change. Unfortunately, there has been a lack of international attention on savanna tree cover losses, and without support for solutions, deforestation will continue. Since 2006, GACE has been planting trees to help slow tree loss and bring awareness to the issue in our communities. Our reforestation project is about survival. We increase chances of tree survival by choosing species that are suitable for the environment and by planting them with community groups, such as schools, organized farmer collectives, and shea nut collector groups. Groups are more likely to provide irrigation needed to get seedlings through the first dry season and protect the young trees from grazing livestock and wildfires.
