Here is some of what we have accomplished  in 2020-2021:

• LFA was well represented by our founder, Mamoudou Condé, when our key allies, Les Ballets Africains (the National Cultural Drum and Dance Troupe of Guinea) opened the 2020 MASA Cultural Arts Market in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. (https://youtu.be/KTwiQUcGU-4); 

• We conducted a training demonstration for the water filter systems hosted by the mayor of the central district of Conakry, Guinea, which made the national new outlets; 

• We have opened our doors with 501C3 non-profit based in Chicago with Sekou Condé as our Board Chair and with our NGO office in Conakry with Nanfadima Magassouba as our international director for our African branch. 

• La Fondation Aicha was a sponsor, along with Patissou Fondation, and the organizers, Tidiane World Music, and World Music Productions for the "La Ronde des Star" New Years Eve Concert in Guinea, West Africa. This event blanketed Guinea with our logo and name recognition in extensive promotions across the nation; 

• Served as presenters on roundtables on Voices of Water on 2021 World Water Day;

• Formed key alliances with World Music Productions, Kafolike School of Percussion, Muntu Dance Theatre,  MAP International, Watershed Wisdom Councils Concept (WWCC), Water-Unite, Water Pure Technologies, Youth Leader, and many, many more... 

 

For 2022, we are looking forward to diving into to several strategic projects in Africa (with your support): 

• Supplying water filtration systems to purify the drinking water to the Los Islands Archipelago off the coast from the capital, Conakry working with Angelique of Water-Unite, as well as Tom and Craig from Water Pure; 

• Engaging in a partnership with MAP International to supply medical needs to several hospitals in West Africa;

• Working with WWCC and Water-Unite to create a Cultural Arts Education program promoting the Aicha Pure Water Ethos; designing the concept for the "Aicha Water Sanctuaries", which are physical kiosks to house all of this creation. 

• We are branching out to begin implementing a training program working with Youth Leaders, which will include an empowerment program for girls and women.  We are currently working with new partners - Eric of Youth Leaders, Karim in Conakry organizing Youth Leaders in Guinea, Sumaili forming the Kakuma Girls Club in the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya, and John forming a similar women's empowerment and self defense club in an orphanage in Uganda.
