Angels & Doves is a non-profit organization located in the United States that works closely with many disadvantaged, poor and rural communities in West Africa on social and public health issues. Education
Our goal is to reduce gender disparities on education in rural and developing areas of Africa through different means such as literacy and professional training. In Cameroon, the female literacy
rate is 59.8% and in the republic of Guinea, is estimated at 18.1%. This makes it challenging for women to integrate into society and get jobs since they are under educated. The Angels & Doves Foundation works to empower women from poor and rural communities in West Africa through literacy and professional training. We believe that through literacy and practical skills training, we give to those women the best opportunity to start working themselves out of poverty. We also believe that women are the heart and soul of a family, and their empowerment is vital to sustainable development in Africa. Water & sanitation
We provide clean and potable water in very poor and rural communities in Cameroon and the republic of Guinea, so that the people from those communities don't have to walk miles to the nearest source of water, which is unprotected and likely to make them sick.
• By building wells and community latrines
• By rehabilitating existing wells
We educate the population on better health behaviors (basic hygiene and sanitation habits) such as
• Washing hands
• Washing fruit
• Using latrines
• Filtering and chlorinating water
