"Some of the world's biggest challenges can be solved by some of the world's most marginalized communities themselves. The moment you inject information, education, and an entrepreneurial spark in a community, it gets empowered enough to inspire, build, and uplift itself."Sharad Vivek Sagar ... See MoreSee Less

Our Stories of Change

There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.

Athinai primary school
Since Dandelion Africa starting issuing our school with sanitary towels,our lives have not been the same. Prior to their rescue,we would miss school because  our parents could not afford to buy the towels for us. Absenteeism was high and very normal amongst girls. This program has translated to  consistence school attendance resulting to improved academic performance.

I’m so grateful for the trainings Dandelion Africa has been offering us as women.Notably,the trainings on farming and Right Way Forward have been of significance to my area of interest and I have tried my very best to implement all that we have been trained on.I'm currently involved in vegetable farming and mat knitting as a form of income generating activities.

I'm a business woman based in Mogotio town. Through Street Business School trainings offered by Dandelion Africa, I was able to learn on record keeping and good customer services.  The skills gained during the course have been relevant to my area of work. Long live Dandelion Africa.

We’ve been brought up in an environment that glorifies FGM. It’s unfortunate to  report that the situation was worse some years back but we are glad that there has been positive progress since Dandelion Africa came in. The fall of a community is not caused by the foolishness of the bad people but by the silence of the good people. We are here to advocate for girls' rights and to call upon other boys to join us in the fight against FGM.
