Welcome to the East Africa Region page! The East Africa Region of G.O.D. Int’l currently has 34 members, ranging in age from 19 to 34 (not counting the ever-growing number of children).  We are becoming a multi-faceted development team that can meet the needs of East Africans in a multitude of ways including but not limited to: literacy, childbirth education and midwifery, education (from early childhood to graduate), sustainable agriculture and permaculture, preventative and restorative health care, massage therapy, business, as well as innovative architecture and technology.

These families are receiving education and serve as our East African cooperatives to continue our work when we are not there.
