Organization: Feeding Nations Through Education
Mission: Works to relieve famine, poverty and raise literacy by equipping African villagers with bulls, plows, clean water and training in sustainable agriculture, so they can produce enough to fund their children's education.
Activities: Funds raised were used to complete construction of the middle school as well as operating costs for the 2nd and 3rd semesters.
Raised charitable donations to provide our Care Packages to 20 more families in Burkina Faso (175 families to-date, all of at least 12 people in each family) so they can grow enough food to feed themselsves AND sell a surplus to fund their children's education.
Funds raised were used to grant 50 women $100 each to help them start their own small craft businesses with the goal of paying back $100 at the end of one year to help another woman start her own business in the same way, as well as them being able to buy food and necessities for their own families from the sales of their craft products. This is the FNTE Pay-It-Forward strategy.
