GCG believes education and access to information technology is the key to success. After GCG introduced computers in some Northeastern schools, the enrollement went up. The students who have access to this high tech schools started their own business after graduation.The quality of education, the economic development, and the standard of living also increased.Through GCG, parents, teachers, education administrators and students develop a special relationship that enhances motivation and opportunities for the acquisition of good education. Generation for Change and Growth, Inc. meets its goals through the following methods:

GCG conducts numerous workshops and seminars to mobilize and encourage youth with the goal of envisioning successful future through education. Workshops and seminars are also employed to increase enrolment in schools and raise awareness in gender disparities.

Technology is the tool to success in learning. GCG advocates and promotes the use of Technology at all levels of school. The power of imagination is the power that drives learning and it is technology that enhances imagination in children. GCG works with primary, secondary and universities to allow for outreach in technology. 

Mentoring
We strongly believe mentoring is extremely valuable and will impact communities positively locally and globally and will have a replicating effect into the future. As such, the availability of successful role models as mentors is exceedingly important and we invite them to become partners in changing the world for a better tomorrow.

Scholarships
GCG is involved in securing admissions and scholarships from local and international colleges and universities for students after successful completion of secondary education. Scholarships are also availed to needy students in secondary schools. This is achieved through the generosity of individuals or organizations who share our vision of 'helping today's youth for a better tomorrow'.

Annual Conference - GCG organizes an annual conference to evaluate past progress and yet set higher goals that are realistic and attainable for students, mentors, teachers and parents. The conference also servers as a moment of celebration and reconnection. It is a time of awards and rewards to outstanding mentors and student heroes.

In Central Province the gross enrolment rates in primary school in 2000 was 106% compared to only 17.8% in North Eastern Province . The corresponding figures for secondary school for the two regions are 37.7% and 4.5%, respectively. There are also wide disparities in the pupil-teacher ratio at the provincial levels (Pulling Apart 20).

While 92% of women in Nairobi are literate only 6.4% are literate in North Eastern Province . For men, corresponding figures for Nairobi and North Eastern Province (NEP) are 94.2% and 29.5% respectively (pulling Apart 44).

Kenya 's North Eastern Province has earned itself the dubious distinction of enrolling the least numbers of girls in primary schools in the whole world.

But that is not the whole story. The Provincial Director of Education, Mr Elly Osiemo, was quoted yesterday as saying that 80 per cent of NEP's school age children, that is some 200,000 of them, are out of school.

Who will lead the way in stemming this slide in the provinces's education standards?
