Gala & Auction | Oct 22

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Reed Opera House. Above is the video we shared about Senobowal and what comes next. Please share with others in your network who want to partner with families and communities in rural Senegal to build lasting prosperity. 

Travel with us to Senobowal, a village in northern Senegal, where improving water access has created the foundation for a network of other services, such as improved health care access and the addition of a women's cooperative garden. Senobowal is just the beginning. Together we can help build what comes next.

If you missed it, it’s not too late to contribute. So far, we have raised over $77,000 to support new projects in 2027. YOU can help us reach even more people. Donate today!
