ABOUT US

WORK PROGRAM
GEKKO has the work program entitled SHARE THE WORLD FOR BETTER LIFE, which represents our efforts to proliferate information concerning practical, effective technologies to rural and urban communities, which can be used to improve their life quality. In this program Gekko Studio embarks on initial researches to identify the kind of information the target groups need to open way to social engineering that is in accordance with the existing cultural values.
