GENVEJ TIL UDVIKLING (GTU)

Organisation created in 1978 and member of Emmaus International since 1983.

GTU is a small Danish group that has never had the logistical wherewithal needed to carry out the activities of a traditional Emmaus community. The group sells handicraft goods produced by associations, including the Emmaus organisations Pag-la-Yiri in Burkina Faso, AFA in Benin, and CPSS in Cameroon.

GTU also publishes a 16-page newspaper, four times a year, providing information about Emmaus and development initiatives, particularly in French-speaking West African countries. The group also participates in public debates by contributing to a Danish blog and social networks and by providing visitors with information at its handicraft exhibitions.
