Mom to Mom Sale Gives Back

The Save Africa Project was started as a student-led movement to express care and love for people seemingly out of reach. Today as a nonprofit, The Save Africa Project is initiating a wide range of empowering educational, developmental, and relief projects. One of these projects is BADALA. BADALA is Swahili for Instead. Instead of forced wife inheritance, forced marriages, prostitution, banishment from their communities, homelessness or begging, widows and single mothers are provided an opportunity to learn life skills that perpetuate self-sustainable solutions.

To help you can be a part of the Mom2Mom Sale. Sellers will keep all the money from their sales. Customers pay a $2 admission fee where 100 percent goes directly to the Save Africa Project. “$2 makes a BIG difference,” states Gnotek.

"$25 can provide a person with food and shelter for a month, $250 can pay a student's tuition for a year, and because we operate on a tiny budget, $1500 can pay our rent for a year."

BADALA is unique in its approach to help mothers in several locations in Africa by providing education and the ability to earn an income. BADALA has become self-sustainable and monies now made through BADALA also support Project;Scholar. The KEZA Ornament is the newest item available from BADALA.
