Introduction

The Greenville Development Association (GDA) is a project-based, non-political, humanitarian organization established in August 2008 by concerned and caring Greenvillians who want to actively participate not only in the socio-economic and infrastructural development of their city – Greenville, but also in the physical and mental development of the citizenry after a devastating war.

The organization will work in partnership with the legal authorities of the city in determining, prioritizing, and engaging in project(s) and/or service(s) that will in “little” ways make a difference and positively improve and affect people’s lives.
