The Tandana Foundation

The Dr. Ash B Varma scholars who are studying tailoring are making great progress! Great work, everyone! 🧵 🪡

Hamidou Yalcouyé has been with The Tandana Foundation now for one year and we are so thankful for his hard work and dedication. If you have not had the chance to read this week's blog that features his story, we encourage you to do so! He writes, “My sincere thanks to the Tandana Foundation team for their consideration, for having shared a year of collaboration, a year of service together, I can testify that the Tandana Foundation is more than an association, it's a family whose mother never forgets any of her children. My sincere thanks to Mom Hope Taft and the head of the Mali team, Mr Moussa Tembiné, with your guidance, together we can rise to the occasion.”

We cannot thank you enough for the tremendous amount of support and generosity we received during this year's #GivingTuesday campaign! In total, with our matching donor and so many of you, we raised just over $6,000.00 to empower women-owned and income-generating businesses in #Mali and #Ecuador. From supporting displaced families in Mali to building a water reservoir for women farmers in Yambiro, we hope you'll continue to follow us on this journey to help create sustainable opportunities that impact entire communities. 💚

Hamidou Yalcouyé began as a trainee and is now the coordinator of Tandana’s displaced students program, a program set up to support the integration and success of vulnerable students in the educational system in #Mali. Read more about his journey to Tandana in today's new blog. https://lnkd.in/gAVF9wJ5

Together, we can create lasting change and help families build brighter futures! 🌍 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/gv-b3msd

To highlight this special week of giving , you can help 27 women in Yambiro, #Ecuador bring their business dreams to life! With your support and a #matchingdonor up to $2,000, our goal is to aid the women’s association in finishing their #irrigationsystem and receive training to grow and sell products like tree tomatoes and tilapia. 🐟 This project is a step toward keeping families together and creating #sustainable opportunities for generations. Let’s work together to help them open for business—your gift today will go twice as far! 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/gv-b3msd
