Enliven Mama Africa Fundraiser and Updates

Welcome to the Enliven Mama Africa blog! We hope our readers will be interested in hearing more details about our work...beyond our website and Facebook posts. The work Enliven Mama Africa has been conducting until now has largely involved networking with a local organization called
Global Visionaries. Global Visionaries has brought students to Guatemala for 17 years, and now they are acting as our incubator. In July 2014 we will travel to Ghana together to meet with Maxwell, our managing director, and enroll ten young mothers in learning the trades of sewing and hairdressing. When these women have skills and means to start their own businesses, their children
will have opportunities for education and their day to day strife will be lessened. To make our project a reality, we are conducting a fundraiser from February 14- March 31. With your help, we can give these single mothers hope, and also foster intercultural learning through our volunteer program. To give, visit: http://www.gvcoca.org/fundraisers/enliven-mama-africa/.

Enliven Mama Africa is committed to the communities of Besease and Nkawie. In Besease, the single mothers are eager to begin learning new skills from their local business women. There, too, schoolteachers are looking forward to volunteer tutors. In Nkawie, the farming families are excited to host volunteers and share their knowledge about West African agriculture. The three branches of the project are intimately connected. As American money supports the young mothers' education, the mothers' community will inspire American youth to work for change. As American volunteers bolster farmers with labor, the farmers will show them how they live. Enliven Mama Africa's vision is to be more than a charity or volunteer organization, but to be an exchange of life, resources, and culture. 

With this in mind, understand that your investment in Enliven Mama Africa will support ten specific young mothers, but that it will also impact their community and yours.
