#littlebylittle
COVID-19 has struck our bank balance, as it has others around the world. We need funds to keep the hopes of our African Angel learners alive, not just now, but on an ongoing basis. Like any other business, we need a reliable and sustainable source of funds so we can continue to offer the best education and plan future programs. We’re so excited to be taking part in the GlobalGiving #LittlebyLittle campaign from 14-18 Sept. Any donations made during this time will be matched to give us more bang for your buck. NOW IS THE TIME!
Here's how it works
- If you commit to at least four months of regular donations, Global Giving will match 100% of the first monthly pledge to #africanangels AND you will also get a 50% match for the first $50 of your donation.
- If you are not able to make a monthly commitment NOW IS STILL THE TIME! During this Little by Little campaign, all eligible donations up to $50 per unique donor will be matched at 50% for the entire five-day campaign.
NOW IS THE TIME! https://lght.ly/a83fa4

Our founder and Chairperson Lou Billett presented to a group of 20 young people selected by their companies to attend the year long Rotary Leadership Programme hosted by Gately Rotary Club in East London. The theme of her presentation on ethical leadership was Do what is Right NOT what is easy.
The delegates were most appreciative:
"You could definitely feel Lou's energy filling the room. She is so inspirational, honest, courageous, adventurous, a lady of complete integrity! She is passionate and believes in what she stands for. I have learned so much from her today!
"Powerful presentation. Woke the leader in me"
"Wonderful selfless lady. What she has done and continues to do will ensure we have a better tomorrow and I pray her children grow up to carry on her legacy in whatever way they can."
"The presentation was so powerful. I'm so challenged to do something"
Lou says, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to address this group of future leaders. I am proud to have been part of their journey to success, and humbled by their comments."
