Who We Are

The Team

We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.

We started extending help to needy Children and youth who were eager to study and work for a better life. This moment intensified when we found that there were many such underprivileged children who needed help with food, shelter and education. Our team expanded and we spread out in different regions to make sure we cover all possible areas and help as many children as possible.

We now run shelter homes, schools and a reasonable mess that helps such needy young people. We also have our helpline offices spread throughout the country so one can approach us anytime they need help.

Psychological Distress Awareness

Our Mission

We aim to raise awareness and destigmatise psychological distress and to foster the autonomy responsibilities: 
We intend to build an information and learning centre, as well as a shelter for vulnerable women where they can find tailored advice, signposting, and assistance (psychological, financial, administrative and/or legal).
We offer a space where they can voice their needs and struggles and explore their prospects. In Senegalese society, divorced, widowed, and other forms of single motherhood including women with caring responsibilities are often not seen nor heard to the point of stigmatization.

Our Vision

Our vision is to bring about liberation through empowerment. We believe in creating a world where every individual has the tools, knowledge, and resources to break free from the chains of inequality, discrimination, and oppression.
We envision a society that values and celebrates diversity, where everyone is given equal opportunities to thrive and succeed. Through education, advocacy, and innovative solutions, we aim to empower individuals to overcome barriers, realize their full potential, and become active agents of positive change.
By fostering a culture of inclusivity and promoting social justice, we strive to create a brighter future where everyone can live a life of freedom, dignity, and fulfillment.
