Our Mission

Our Mission is to inspire joy, provide hope, and create solutions by mobilizing resources to uniquely meet the needs of marginalized individuals in Burkina Faso, focusing on strategies that create the most impact.

Our Vision

Our Vision is to see in Burkina Faso a world where people have access to services that meet basic needs, that create an environment for individuals to thrive, and facilitate development in their community

Who are we?

Home always stays close to the heart, doesn’t it? A group of us from Burkina Faso living here in the United States have long talked about the simple joys and goodness we knew growing up at home.  While our lives have been blessed by the abundance of opportunities and kindness here, we often talk about our homeland…a place where the poor in America almost seem rich in comparison…with access to excellent public hospitals, public school systems, and safety net programs the government of Burkina Faso cannot afford.  World Bank data from last year lists per capita GDP in the United States at $69,288, while in Burkina Faso it is only a tiny $918.  Though none of us are wealthy, our hearts are full of joy…and so we decided to make a difference by establishing a 501(c)3 charitable organization in 2022 to bring joy to both friends here and people at home.
