2024 Impact Report
Our Mission in Action
In 2024, our commitment to community wellness, dignity, and opportunity reached across continents—from Ziguinchor, Senegal, to Los Angeles, USA. Through partnerships and community support, we helped children attend school with dignity and shared wellness with local organizations.
1. Supporting Education in Ziguinchor
Project: Providing school uniforms and backpacks to children in need.
- Location: Goudomp 4 Elementary School, Ziguinchor, Senegal
- Impact:
- 200 uniforms distributed
- 200 backpacks provided (thanks to GUESS? INC.)
- Children benefited: 200+
Partnership Highlight: GUESS? INC. funded the uniforms and backpacks, making this initiative possible.
When news spread that uniforms and backpacks were being provided, enrollment at Goudomp 4 Elementary School unexpectedly rose from 200 to 219 students. Access to essential school supplies encouraged more children to attend class, ensuring they could learn with dignity and confidence.
Key Takeaway: Every child deserves dignity and access to education. Your support, along with GUESS INC, allowed 200 children to attend school fully equipped.
2. Sharing Care in Los Angeles
Project: Distributing teas and fragrances to local organizations.
- Organizations Supported: Downtown Women Center, Hollywood Food Coalition, Neighbor 4 Neighbor
