How the employee got involved and why

Wings of Hope for Africa was born out of compassion for children in need. When I became a mother I realized how painful it would be to see your children suffer due to hunger. When my son is sick, I start to think of those African mothers who don’t have anything to give to their children when they’re ill or when they need everyday basic needs. I started Wings of Hope for Africa so I can be the voice of the voiceless and advocate for their rights and bring hope to those in need. We're a registered charity dedicated to family welfare, empowering communities and developing self-sufficiency programs to end poverty in Burundi and Rwanda as well as in Calgary, Canada. Our programs focus on child welfare and education, empowering families and communities, emergency relief, and health care and disease prevention.
