Dear Andando Supporters,
As we settle into the new year, and all that it brings, we want to say thank you again to everyone who gave to our year-end giving drive, which came hot on the heels of our most successful fall auction EVER! Together these two campaigns raised an incredible $98,427 to strengthen communities across rural Senegal!
It’s this spirit of global collaboration, building a thriving world together, that fuels our hope for what lies ahead. Every day, I’m inspired by the resilience of our partners in Senegal, like the women of Korkadji, pictured above, whose garden and much of their village was devastated by floods last year. The unwavering commitment of people like you means that Andando can provide increased assistance to Korkadji this year to help them to recover and thrive.
From individual moments of support like this to our large-scale agriculture, education, healthcare and environmental initiatives, together, we are helping our partners to build brighter futures. We are excited to carry this momentum through 2025, and we can’t wait to share the new projects and opportunities on the horizon. Thank you for being an essential part of this journey.
With gratitude,
Garrison Harward
Executive Director
