Fewer than 4% of U.S. study abroad students go to Africa. 🇺🇸 @listenthinkact is improving that trend. 🇺🇸🇺🇬 In 2025, 129 U.S. students and 160+ East African students from 24 institutions came together to lead, innovate, and tackle shared challenges. We were excited to see this inspiring work in action!

Happy Earth Day 🌍 Our commitment to conservation is always top of mind. Each year through GLI's recycling centers in Kabale & Lira 100+ tons of plastic is removed from the environment. Here’s to continuing community driven work that contributes to a more sustainable environment!
