Our Mission

 

mission Statement
At Bridge to a Better Life Foundation, our mission is to restore hope, dignity, and opportunity to Africa’s most vulnerable—street children, orphans, single mothers, abused women, and the homeless. We are committed to creating safe spaces, empowering lives through education, shelter, and support, and breaking the cycle of poverty and abuse. With love, compassion, and action, we build bridges to brighter futures—one life at a time.

 

Our end goal, starting in Sierra Leone, Africa is to prevent and protect girls from FGM (female genital mutilation) and child marriage, keep kids in school, and provide business opportunities – a bridge to a better life.
