Why does GACO exist?

Every day, millions of people living with asthma and COPD struggle to breathe, not because solutions don't exist, but because too many communities lack access to respiratory health education, awareness, and care.

At Global Asthma and COPD Outreach (GACO), we're working to change that.

Through community outreach, digital education, advocacy, volunteer training, and partnerships, we're helping people recognize, prevent, and better manage respiratory diseases, especially in underserved communities and low- and middle-income countries.

Since 2025, together with our incredible volunteers and partners, we've:
💙 Educated 900+ people
🌍 Engaged 9 countries
🤝 Mobilized 30+ volunteers

Because everyone deserves the right to breathe freely.

Renew Breathing.
