Face Africa
Why We Love Them: No one likes dirty water, but everyone hopes to achieve real change. FACE Africa targets both issues by funding sustainable clean water and providing tools to empower women in local African communities.
Mission: At FACE Africa, we have an ambitious yet simple goal: CLEAN, SAFE DRINKING WATER for every single person in Liberia. We fund and support sustainable clean water, sanitation and hygiene projects through partnerships with local communities, partner organizations and government agencies.
We also believe passionately that economic opportunities for women hold the promise for real change in Liberia. Through partnerships with other women’s groups, we empower disadvantaged women through education, skills training, economic opportunities and financial literacy.
How You Can Help:
- Introduce FACE Africa to a foundation or corporation with the passion and resources to fund their work.
- Email volunteer@faceafrica.org letting them know your skills and interests so they can call on you when FACE Africa needs a helping hand.
- FACE Africa will provide you with brochures, stories, films, audio and even a web page through www.justgiving.org to host a fundraising event.
