We Need YOU


CIPFEM is a student-run organization, so it relies on donations from the community and from other organizations for its upkeep. Your donation would fund supplies, books, excursions, and speakers - resources that would foster both academic growth and character development for the future of Senegalese women.


We thank you sincerely for your contribution, no matter the amount. A little goes a long way here. For just $35, we can buy a laptop to teach one young woman how to type and access the internet. For just $6, we can buy the electricity needed to invite a successful Senegalese woman to speak about her career and her education. For just $1, we can buy art supplies for one young woman that will provide her a creative outlet for the whole semester.


PAYPAL OPTION COMING SOON

CIPFEM also welcomes donations of material goods such as:


bullet Art supplies (markers, colored pencils, crayons, construction paper, scissors, glue, fabric, embroidery thread, etc.)

bullet Sports equipment (jumpropes, frisbees, soccer balls, etc.)

bullet New or used electronics (computers, printers, sound systems, etc.)

bullet School supplies (pencils, pens, rulers, notebooks, etc.)

bullet New or used books (in English, French, or Wolof)
