Turning Interest Into Action
Upward African Woman is a California-based non-profit organization committed to establishing and supporting sustainable programs to tackle poverty, illiteracy, disease, and hopelessness in order to improve the general well being of the African woman and child. We are a non-profit 501c3 California based organization that was founded in 2014 to help women and children who live in substandard conditions. Our goal is to empower women through sustainable educational programs and childcare services. These recipients are primarily the victims of cultural, mental, sexual, physical abuse and neglect.
