An amazing event! Thank you to our sponsors. 

Help us support the day-to-day expenses for the forgotten children like food, clothing, and also medical expenses by donating today. 

In October of 2022, a dream that was 11 years in the making was realized as we completed construction and opened the school to the first group of kids.  Our teachers, staff and caregivers are the finest in Senegal, devoting their time and efforts 24/7 to this cause well beyond what we can afford to pay them.  The results so far have been astonishing.  

We have however only just begun our journey as a school to make a real and positive difference in these children's lives.  The struggle to provide funding for staff, food, clothing, medical care, maintenance, utilities and other essentials is a constant critical challenge we need to meet to keep our vision alive.  We can only continue with the generous support of individuals and corporate sponsors alike.  Please consider helping our organization with a donation or continuing sponsorship so that we may change the course of young lives and help to create a better world for these children in need."

The Forgotten Children is a registered non-profit foundation which serves orphaned, impoverished and homeless children in M'bour Senegal, West Africa.  Our mission established a boarding school that would provide safe housing, nourishment and education for these children in dire need.

Help Us Help

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Let's not give up on them!

Let us invest in them today. Together we can break the cycle of poverty and ensure that they receive a high quality education.
