This donation greatly helps our mission.  The African Connection has a clear plan for the money donated to them. Here's how they will utilize it: 1. Expansion of Free Resume and Cover Letter Assistance Program:The funds will be used to enhance and expand the Free Resume and Cover Letter Assistance Program. This includes hiring more professionals and career advisors to meet the increasing demand for their services. 2. Support for AC Intern Program:Donations will go towards sustaining and growing the AC Intern Program. This involves providing stipends to interns, collaborating with educational institutions for program expansion, and organizing workshops to enrich the learning experience for interns. 3. Continuation of AC Book Drive:The funds will be used for organizing more book drives and literacy initiatives. This may include purchasing educational materials, supporting community libraries, and fostering a reading culture among young Namibians. 4. Girls' Health Program:The donated funds will primarily support the Girls' Health Program, ensuring a steady supply of sanitary pads for distribution. This includes procurement, storage, and distribution logistics to reach more schools and communities. 5. Sustainability of AC Mask Program:Donated funds will be used for procuring materials, manufacturing, and distributing masks to schools and community projects, with a focus on maintaining health and safety standards. 6. Operational Expenses:A part of the donations will go towards covering operational expenses such as office supplies, utilities, and administrative costs. This allows The African Connection to function smoothly and focus on their mission. 7. Community Engagement and Outreach:Donations will support community engagement initiatives, including awareness campaigns and outreach programs. These efforts aim to connect with more individuals and communities, raising awareness about their programs and fostering a sense of collective responsibility for positive change. The African Connection values transparency and accountability in the use of donated funds. They will share regular updates and financial reports with donors to demonstrate the impact of their contributions. Every donation is essential to their mission of empowering the youth of Namibia. <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1743474814/wysiwyg/ar0bqa7jwrtiuxsjwnmo.jpg" style="width:600px;display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;text-align:center;position:relative;max-width:100%;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" /> If you would like to contribute further, contact us to become a volunteer, or talk to your friends about our cause!
