Description

Sawy was born out of a loving heart that cares for the vulnerable kids in the community. Having lived in a remote poor rural herself,...Annie Wescott had a dream of working hard so that she would help the poor kids in future after school. She spent her life sharing the little that church people used to give her with the vulnerable kids. She touched many lives in the community. Everytime she went to buy bread,..she would not only buy bread for herself but 4 or 5 loafs of bread inorder to share with her vulnerable neighbors that had nothing.

She really had a dream to go to America oneday and raise funds. Her love for people led her to being awarded with a scholarship. Finally Annie traveled to the USA in 2016 and was able to work and that is how the organization was born.

She now has 20 caregivers that she trained and these are the ones who take care of the kids. With so much poverty in Africa,...it breaks Annie's heart & she's striving to make a difference by taking the kids to school, putting them in shelters, feeding them nutritious foods, clean water & health care. Annie can be found at LinkedIn or Facebook.
