The GIME Family

Programs

GIME is a parent organisation with a family of programs — each a distinct initiative in education, language, media and citizenship, united by one mission: to build knowledge, tell stories and empower people across the continent and the diaspora.

One organisation, many programs

The GIME family of programs

Under the GIME parent organisation sits a growing family of programs — from an international language school to music production, linguistic research, student mentorship, editorial services and civic education. Each stands on its own; together they carry one mission forward.
