FABRIC OF LIFE FOUNDATION

Guinea Kids Education Fund

Guinea Kids Education Fund

Guinea Kids Education Fund (GKEF) is an education support project comprised of individuals in the United States and Guinea, West Africa who are committed to enriching the neighborhood of Enco-5 in Conakry, Guinea. 

Our vision is the people of Guinea are self-reliant, empowered and thriving supported by a mutually enriching connection with people in the United States. To do this we support high quality children's education in Guinea and provide opportunities to experience and benefit from the richness of Guinean culture.

Any donation amount is greatly appreciated! Here are some suggested donations and their value: 

  • $167 - will send one child to school for another year (with shoes, uniforms, backpack, school supplies, school tuition, a meal program and tutoring)
  • $500 - will send three children to school for another year (with all the same benefits)
  • $1,000 - will send six children to school for another year (with all the same benefits)
  • $5,000 - will fund an entire year of school for all of our students (with all the same benefits)

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. We are most grateful to the Fabric of Life Foundation for sponsoring GKEF and making this venue for donations available to us. It is one of the most efficient ways to support GKEF fundraising efforts.

Don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

Marissa Baratian, Founder
