Your hands have lightened our work. In 2011 we began with providing education and over the years expanded to include healthcare, clean water, agriculture, environmentalism, sustainability, and housing. Our projects have encompassed two schools, multiple farming projects, two medical clinics, clean water stations, reforestation, keeping girls in school, and supporting single mothers.

It is with a heavy heart we now announce the dissolution of our beloved organization. While one door closes, we trust many others will open as we continue our work in new ways. Thank you for sharing this vision and undertaking this work with us. Thank you for believing in, investing in, and creating vital change in our world. To follow the impacts of our work, please connect with Ivan Woods Kasujja of HOPE Aid Foundation .

May you feel supported on your own journey forward. We continue to rise together. Thank you, we love you, and be well.

"We've shown again and again, in every UN report on the status of women, that wherever women control their own bodies and have access to education, societies prosper. Men's fortunes go up, children's fortunes go up. This is not news - it's been proven repeatedly. Anywhere those things are threatened, we have to defend them." -Erica Jong, US American novelist, satirist, second-wave feminist, & poet

"Everyone wins when children - and especially girls – have access to education. An educated girl is likely to increase her personal earning potential and prepare herself for a productive and fulfilling life, as well as reduce poverty in the whole community. Investing in girls' education also helps delay early marriage and parenthood. Our booming economies in Africa need more female engineers, teachers and doctors to prosper and sustain growth." -Angelique Kidjo, Beninese singer-songwriter, actress, & activist

"The developing world is full of entrepreneurs and visionaries, who with access to education, equity and credit would play a key role in developing the economic situations in their countries." -Muhammad Yunus, Bangladeshi social entrepreneur, banker, economist, civil society leader, & Nobel Peace Prize recipient
