ABOUT GORTA

Gorta’s vision is a world where there is no hunger and where the poorest communities have the means to create a prosperous future for themselves and their children.

Its philosophy is based around the concept of sustainable development, working with strategic local partners to help empower communities and its goal is to ensure that they can realise their greatest potential and map out a bright and secure future.

The programmes are based predominantly in East Africa, mainly Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia but with strategic partners in The Gambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria and India also.

Gorta gives people the tools and the skills to provide for themselves, in areas such as food and water security, healthcare, education and livelihoods and each project is guided by the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
