WEL NGO's African Art House

As some of you may remember, last year we held a fundraiser for one of our partner organizations, St. Genevieve Welcome Center in Katiola, CI. They are working to end the practice of infanticide and provide a safe alternative for children at risk and with your help, we raised $8,000 to support the construction of a new home for the Center’s residents.

This year, we are so excited to work with our other CI partner, NGO Women Entrepreneurs and Leaders (WEL) to support the impactful work they do. Active since 2016, WEL strives to empower the next generation of women leaders by focusing on Leadership, Excellence and Innovation – teaching economic independence and leadership, as well as programs related to agriculture, green environments, health (HIV and pregnancy), technology, and digital solutions.

This year, they are launching the African Art House as an opportunity to create an employment and training program for at-risk young women and girls. This is one of many empowerment projects that WEL is currently running and we are committed to supporting this awesome group of women.
