Give a Life-Changing Gift this Mother's Day.
Impact Women's Lives for Years to Come.
 Coumba Diouf is an inspiring leader who is transforming her community. Her strength, love, and dedication are qualities that we at Tostan celebrate each Mother's Day—
both in our own lives and in our partner communities in Africa.
Join us for our Mother's Day Campaign, an annual event that is a favorite for many of our supporters who choose to honor remarkable women with a gift to Tostan.
Donate now and we will send one of our
beautiful greeting or e-cards
to someone special, or just let us know and we will send you a blank greeting card that you can personalize yourself.
Just $120 can provide a woman just like Coumba with a year's worth of empowering education and training
. Plus, Tostan's unique social mobilization method, which encourages participants to "adopt" friends and family members as learners, means that every gift will not only empower one woman, but will also transform her family and many members of her community.
Mother's Day Spotlight: Coumba Diouf, A Dynamic Community Leader
Coumba Diouf is one of the thousands of women who are using what they've learned through Tostan's Community Empowerment Program (CEP) to create lasting change in their families and in their communities.
A mother of seven, Coumba was married at the age of 16. Though forced to leave school early, she was still able to complete her primary education and learn to read and write. Since participating in Tostan's CEP, she has become a dynamic community advocate.
She was elected as a
member of the Rural Council
and is volunteering to support a government project that aims to give employment and skills to young people.
Coumba, who is now also a grandmother, believes that the impact of the CEP is still very evident in her village. Her community created committees focused on topics including health, the environment, and education. Coumba, along with her fellow Tostan participants, encourages people to bring their children to the health center to be weighed,
organizes
village clean-ups, and helps promote
enrollment of children in school
.
In the future, Coumba hopes to continue the income-generating activities that she began through the CEP, using the profits to build a poultry house and to expand her activities by employing others.
