About Us
Learn about our mission, values, and the impact we're making in communities across the UK and Pakistan.
Founded on a Vision of Empowerment
Global Communication Academy was established with a singular vision: to break the cycle of poverty by empowering individuals, particularly women and their families, with the tools, skills, and support they need to achieve self-sufficiency.
Based in Barking, Essex, our organization has grown from a small community initiative into a registered charity (No. 1214356) serving hundreds of individuals across the UK and extending our reach to Pakistan.
We believe that every person, regardless of their circumstances, has the potential to transform their life and contribute meaningfully to their community. Our role is to provide the stepping stones that make this transformation possible.
