Children in Africa
Our commitment to supporting vulnerable children in Africa is deeply rooted in co-founder Rita Shah's Kenyan heritage. Having witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by children in her homeland, Rita's passion drives our initiatives to provide education, nourishment, and hope to those in need.
Our Initiatives:

St. Mary’s School, Papiri, Nigeria: We contributed €15,000 to help develop this school, creating a safe and supportive environment where children can learn and build a better future.
Transforming Lives: Proper classrooms have improved attendance and academic performance, giving children the opportunity to thrive in structured learning environments.
