Replying to @PaperseedFound
@PaperseedFound doesn't work much in the United States, but in our experience the same rings true globally - philanthropy + services are often concentrated in urban centers and the most disadvantaged groups remain largely unseen. #philanthropy #CSR #ESG ssir.org/articles/entry/phil…

Mental health is important, particularly during a pandemic. That's why we created our #SautiYaDada program so that girls in remote areas of East Africa continue to have the support and resources they need to stay resilient during COVID-19!
