Overview

Mission

Our mission is to utilize our resources and seek out those interested in breaking the cycle of poverty to make an impactful change. Through the why-not-me center, we plan on emphasizing the importance of childrens health, education, and sports as an outlet to improve their circumstances. We want to empower these children in order to enable them to dream big and reach their full potential. We are looking for leaders with compassion who are ready to step up and say why not me?

What it reported doing in 2025

Why-not-me center (wnm) offers a safe and healthy living environment for the discarded and often-victimized talib children of senegal. In order to halt and eventually reverse this devastating humanitarian crisis, we will use the wnm center to teach and nurture as many talib as possible through our modern sports and education programs. Wnm center includes sports and education programs, which use athletics and academics to empower the youth of africa. The wnm center, located in bouna ndiayes familys hometown of lingure, senegal, will use the power of sports and education to foster creative thinking and competitive spirit. As the center continues to grow, these children will become contributing members of their community and greater society.
