Generation for Change and Development (GENCAD) is a UK-registered charity committed to helping communities experiencing extreme poverty in the Horn of Africa.

Its aim is to work with partner organisations and communities on programmes and projects which have strong poverty alleviation objectives, such as: education; skills training; health care provisions; and income generating projects that empower the most vulnerable and needy communities.

Currently GENCAD is working in North Eastern Province of Kenya in partnership with local community organisations, schools, and NGOs. The charity works with local partners in assessing needs and targeting assistance to the most deserving projects with a strong poverty alleviation component. This way they are able to maximise resource allocation and increase the number of beneficiaries.

GENCAD organises an annual charity walk in July (Step Up for Africa Sponsored Walk) along Regent's Canal.

"If you want to make a positive change to an orphan's well-being or believe that every child, no matter what background they come from, should be accorded a reasonable chance of achieving his or her potential, please help us by sponsoring this event".
