What we do
We support women and children through the efforts of local NGOs, strengthening them to reach their full potential
We were founded on the premise that supporting non-profits in their growth will scale their impact on the vulnerable lives they serve. Through our resources, knowledge and general enthusiasm for making a difference, we proudly use our capability, networks, and energy to be a catalyst for change and we work to make a transformative difference through it. We aim to increase the impact and reach of our African partners through a multi-faceted approach to help them achieve their goals inline with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Some of our Initiatives
Vocational Skills Development
Vocational skills are an essential way for women and children to be empowered with economic opportunities, to be able work and provide money for themselves and for their families. Women are too often subject to informal markets without having the right access to education and job opportunities. Learning vocational skills such as tailoring and sewing, craft making, construction, and business development can facilitate a path for self sufficiency and prevent them from having to resort to less dignified means of putting food on their tables.
Agriculture Opportunities
Farming and animal rearing offers economic development opportunities for women, especially when unable to leave the home for work while raising her family.
One of our initiatives aims to develop demonstration farms for beneficiaries as these farms are used to teach agricultural techniques that can be passed on to the community. Women are already on the front-line of the African agricultural scene. Teaching valuable skills on how to develop their own farms where they can effectively grow crops and rear animals such as turkeys, chicken, and goats can have immense benefits on their economic freedoms.
Education Initiatives
Our education initiatives are aimed at closing the gap of women and girl’s education. Girls are faced with significant barriers that prevent them from accessing and continuing their education. Young marriages, pregnancies, puberty, and household responsibilities are just a few of the barriers that keep girls and women far behind their male counterparts when it comes to attending school and acquiring an education. The inability to attend school then triggers countless other hardships for women including barriers into the workforce. By giving girls and women access to education, and helping them to receive training in specified fields, they will have more economic freedom and have the ability to access job markets previously out of reach.
Health Programmes
In order to protect girls and women from the hardships of early pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases as well as helping them navigate puberty, one of our initiatives is to provide health programmes and sex education that teaches young women how to take care of their bodies and health. These programmes also work to provide necessary sanitary items and teach workshops on how to make and use their own products.
