With your consistent support, we continue to create and deliver initiatives which are making a sustainable difference in the lives of those we serve.

The focus of our campaigns will change as the needs of those we serve (in Canada and DR Congo) change.

We plan and work alongside locals in each community to determine where to shine a Bright Light.


Help Us Empower Francophone Women — Reclaim Their Power and Lead With Purpose

Femmes Actrices du Changement: Transforment les défis en opportunités is a women’s leadership program that empowers Francophone women of African descent in Calgary and surounding areaas to heal, grow, and lead with purpose.

Participants come together in a safe, culturally affirming space to reflect on their personal journeys as women, immigrants, and leaders. They share stories of resilience, grief, and hope during sessions like Healing Through Mourning, connect across languages, cultures, and lived experiences, and begin reclaiming their voices while stepping into leadership with intention.

Our Soutien à l’Éducation: Kit de Rentrée Scolaire provides Afrodescendant Francophone children in Calgary and surrounding areas , ages 6 to 17, with the tools they need to succeed — including backpacks, school supplies, and essential learning materials.

This initiative ensures equal access to education and helps each child start the school year confident, equipped, and proud, all at no cost to families.
