GAPS is a student organization at the University of Melbourne that aims to build sustainable partnerships between organizations and communities in the developed and developing world.
Currently, GAPS has a number of development projects in Kenya, Rwanda and Ghana in the fields of education, medical development and community development. The partnership with AGYA would represent the first Uganda project for GAPS. Similarly, the collaboration with GAPS would represent AGYA’s first time hosting a group of student volunteers from Australia. Within the next six months, AGYA and GAPS will work towards finalizing a strategic plan outlining the details of the partnership and the GAPS service-learning trip to Uganda!
