A faith-based charityin Uyo, Akwa Ibom.Registered in the US.

GAMAID began in 2016 in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, in a small church community where a family opened their home to hungry and homeless students. What started as a simple act of faith and obedience has grown into a structured, faith-based, non-governmental organisation committed to holistic transformation and sustainable empowerment.

In response to high rates of food insecurity and unsafe housing among students, we established safe shelter homes, feeding programmes, and integrated support systems. Providing food, clothing, and shelter is only the beginning. We care for the entire person, progressing to medical assistance, legal aid, mentorship, educational access, skills development, and business support, fostering stability, dignity, and self-reliance.

Guided by our philosophy, Praeparatio Corporis, Mentis, et Spiritus (the preparation of the body, mind, and spirit), we believe true transformation occurs when physical needs are met, knowledge and skills are cultivated, and hope is restored. Through kindness in action, we point people to God while upholding principles of compassion, accountability, and measurable impact.

With the support of dedicated volunteers, we have equipped over 150 individuals with practical skills in carpentry, tailoring, masonry, painting (including manufacturing), cinematography, multimedia design, and other vocational trades. From supporting accident victims with critical medical care to helping students launch sustainable businesses, we transform vulnerability into resilience.

Our core beneficiaries include low-income families, orphans, students, vulnerable groups, and individuals experiencing homelessness. Walking alongside them with compassion, dignity, and respect, we create pathways for growth, community reintegration, and long-term opportunity, helping people not only survive, but thrive within their communities.
