Who We Are
Adolescent Gate Organization (AGO) is a non-governmental organization based in Mwanza, Tanzania, founded in 2021 to address critical gaps in inclusive, adolescent-centered development.
AGO is grounded in the conviction that adolescence is the most decisive stage for shaping lifelong wellbeing and social outcomes. Without intentional investment during this period, cycles of poverty, exclusion, and inequality particularly for girls, adolescents with disabilities, and young mothers persist across generations.
