As of December 22, 2018 The first milestone is accomplished!!  We have purchased land in Burkina Faso and installed a water well giving access to clean water!

 Next, we are raising funding to begin the building phase improving the property in Niangaloko , with plans to construct an initial housing building, kitchen and bathrooms and a classroom building to begin sewing and small business practices classes.  Initial start up costs are approximately $60,000 for this first building phase. 

 Second phase will add a training center to expand program offerings to include additional skill training and services such as computers, weaving, gardening and animal care

Future goals: Research additional partnership facility options for training and education out in the village of Kimini and begin scholarship and higher education support for the women and children served.
