GOFAR Foundation

CONTEXT:

In Casamance, most young women live in a certain precariousness exposing their young daughter to lack of means to follow studies, or to provide for the needs of the family, because of this many are exposed to forced marriages or cases of rapes. Still others suffer from numerous illnesses due to a lack of adequate care, which causes them physical and emotional disabilities, etc.

An Arab problem says "If the profession does not enrich you, it protects you from want." Indeed the best way to help a person be free from need.

It is in this logic that GOFAR is classified, our fight: to boost and train young people to undertake or to learn a specific profession which meets the requirements of companies.

OBJECTIVES AND IMPACT 2022:

During May, the month of work, we annually launch a fundraising campaign to support, train and accompany vulnerable young women.

We are retaining 25 young girls in total after the May 2022 application submissions

2 recipients of equipment subsidy tickets

The fundraising campaign ended on August 31, 2022 and resulted in: 322,125 CFA francs

The vulnerable young women who were supported are:

-GOUDIABY Ramatoulaye ........For Cashier-Salesman training carried out by the African Trades Center (CAM)...77,625 F

-NDIAYE Ida........ For the training of Accountant and Billing Officer carried out by GOFAR School........123,000F

-Mariama COLY ..... Half subsidized for Office Assistant training Executed by GOFAR School....61,500F

-Mireille BANDIAKI Subsidized by a material donation of an Office table and an Office Chair......60,000F

We generously thank our godparents who were kind enough to give the opportunity and hope to these young ladies: We cite Suzanne KORA from Keur Siloé, Princess VALERY from AREZKI, Arthur NANITH from FHI360, Galillée AM and other contributors anonymous.

We salute and thank all those who believed in this project

We thank everyone who provided spiritual support.

There is still a large waiting list of vulnerable young ladies pre-selected for training and AGR projects:

 

the AGR training and support needs raised by vulnerable young women in Casamance.

 

The challenge is much greater, the need for autonomy of vulnerable women is there, But together we can bring our stone to give hope to these young ladies.

Dear Partner,

As part of the PARAFEV 23 program (Support Program for Strengthening the Activities of Vulnerable Women), We are planning a day of support for female sexual victims of the kullimaro center on June 10, 2023 and July 8, 2023.

In order to participate in their reconstruction and autonomy, these victims are trained in sewing and embroidery activities.

During this support day, we wish to strengthen these women in their self-esteem, support the center workers with advice and reinforcement sessions for better care of these women, but also provide these young women with sewing and embroidery accessories in order to stabilize their activity.

In the longer term, to overcome the problem discretion, non-denunciation, we work on a self-educating platform in French and local languages in order to allow these women and those who are not reported, to have a reference or they will be able to access content discreetly at any time.​

We want to see you participate in this work, providing whatever you can or by providing us with resource support for the platform.

We are attaching to this call a list of needs for the activities of the women of the center.
