OUR STORY

Dedication and Service

Here at Global Development Project, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in making the world a better place for all. Since 2015, we have set out to build productive relationships and positively impact where it truly counts! For us at GDP, it’s not a hobby. It’s a life-long vision of making a life-long difference daily in the lives of those who need it the most! We focus our efforts on community outreach programs, women’s empowerment seminars and conferences, youth development programs, weekend camps, building projects that include business opportunities, schools, medical and community activity centers, and career education and development. ​GDP is a registered, non for profit organization. This vital work is entirely dependent on the support and encouragement of our friends and partners. We at GDP all work in a 100% volunteer status, with 90% of donations directly funding projects and programs, with the remaining 10% funding our operational expenses. All donations are tax-deductible.
