What we stand for
We offer financial support or anything (within reason) that will help these girls to get them their education to give them a better future perspective. Every child deserves a future that is a fundamental right! However this is not naturally the case for every child. This is a reason for us to take action. Schools are available, but the means to be able to go to school, the parents cannot afford. This is a poverty issue! This problem is solvable with your help. Our Foundation focuses on girls. This because girls in Gambia are structurally in a disadvantage. One of the reasons for this disadvantage is a cultural one. One has different expectations for girls. Unfortunately these girls grow up with the same expectations, unless we give them the opportunity to enhance themselves. One of those expectations is that girls are married off, get lesser jobs, end up in prostitution, or become very young mothers. We feel that we have to help break through this downward spiral. Anyone can help by donating. Donation can mean different things within our Foundation, think monetary or in goods, like school supplies or sportswear.
What do we want to achieve
Our starting point is to give to girls and young adults a better future perspective, where there is room and possibilities for self-development, self-sustainability, personal growth and self-worth. Through the possibilities that education creates, they are able to overcome poverty and make their own choices like getting a good job or create their own business.
