Christmas season is always a time to give and the wishwall foundation extended their hand of love and giving to 4 vulnerable homes in Ibadan, South West Nigeria. We visited: Network for inclusion of people with special needs, (NIPSON) Ibadan,Oluyole Chesire Home, Ibadan, Vanguard Vocational centre for people living with disabilities, Ibadan and His Heritage home.

NIPSON HOME, was the farthest so we had to visit there on the 22nd December, 2021. We were well received. We presented our food gifts . We then gave the individual wrapped gifts to the recipients of the home. The owner of the home, Mrs Sekinat couldn't hide her joy about the personalised item and she made a comment about it in particular.They sang for us, and we interacted with them for some minutes before our departure. We were allowed to take pictures of the recipients and capture their excitement as they received their gifts.

On the 24th December, the set date for project Christmas with the Wishmaker, we visited Oluyole Chesire Home, His Heritage home. We couldn't take the pictures of the kids but they were super excited and happy that we visited. The children loved their gifts and the management also appreciated the food gifts we brought along. The Wishwall Founder was appreciated and given an Appreciation Letter.

We had an amazing time at the Vanguard Vocational centre for people living with disabilities. We were given a grand welcome and addressed the members of the home that they shouldn't see their disabilities as inabilities, but an opportunity to impacting the world in their special way. They appreciated the gift received.

It was an amazing time to show love to children and adults in vulnerable homes, it wasn't a usual stance they get to experience someone showing love to them by gifting them personalize item. A big appreciation to the Wishwall Foundation Founder, Ms Simonetta Lein for her kind gesture and making this year Christmas memorable. We hope to have you grant more of our wishes in the coming year. Thank you.

#Water ForThe People Project Funded by The WishWall Foundation 2024. #AWishGrantedInProgress The rural population of Muwanga in kiboga district Uganda draws their water from unprotected springs or swamps located from 300 to 600 meters (328 to 656 yards) from the villages or from hand-dug wells, locally known as (bidiba). The (bidiba) are primitive wells with an average depth of about six meters and with a diameter about the size of a large truck tire and uncovered at the top. The water collected from swamps (bidiba) is used for bathing, washing clothes, cooking and drinking, also shared, by cows, goats, hens and dogs Unfortunately, the shared use of swamps, (bidiba),springs for washing laundry, bathing and cooking is unsanitary and promotes a number of health problems. According to 2021 clinical data/information obtained from mama Tendo who owns a local clinic here in Kigoma Village most of the sick patients she treats suffer from diarrhea, typhoid, dysentery and intestinal stomach aches. The WishwallFoundation is Funding Muwanga Development Association a local organisation to establish a modren Well to provide safe-clean water the people of kiboga in Uganda. The president of Muwanga Development Association said “ the local people here have contracted diseases from these dirty water sources for many years” but now friends from The WishwallFoundation have done them good” A BIG THANK YOU.

Education is essential for the sustainable and equitable use of biodiversity and its conservation. The future of biodiversity will depend on the community collective action of an educated society, including efforts to promote local and indigenous knowledge of biodiversity. Having tens of thousands of children involved in tree planting will make our communities wonderful role model in environmental restoration. Trees are the superheroes of nature ,Dream International believes where trees grow, people grow! One of the ways we can save the state of the planet is by planting trees. If we do not reverse the current trend with diminishing biodiversity, we simply threaten our own existence. We must become people who push for the superpowers of trees. Big thanks to the wishwall foundation for nature based solutions for biodiversity loss in rwenzori mountain communities in Uganda

#WishGranted Forests, the lungs of the Earth, are disappearing at an alarming rate. Restoring and conserving what is left is crucial, and is a collective effort if we are to cope with global warming. In any sustainable tree planting exercise, involving children is important. With this in mind, the wishwall foundation in partnership with Dream International is implementing tree planting project It is designed to create conservation consciousness among young and old people and show them the benefits of tree planting and its impact on the environment.The project is designed to develop collaborations with schools on environmental conservation measures and support the students in establishing the stand of trees in their respective schools. It involves among others public and private schools.

Today is Equal Pay Day! Sixty years after it became illegal to pay men more than women for similar work, we’re still playing catch up in the USA. Wishwall believes that women deserve equal pay for equal work! It’s disappointing that women are still paid less than men across all industries. We are proud to partner with the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy to promote gender equality in education and hope that these girls will receive equitable pay when they enter the workforce in Kenya after graduating.

Towering over the tin roof homes in Kibera, the new dormitory at the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy (KGSA) is the pride of the Makina neighborhood. This state of the art three story facility has a rooftop soccer field that just recently began providing a safe place for girls to study, eat, sleep (and dream). KGSA is a free, holistic high school that serves 130 girls every year located in the largest informal settlement – the largest slum – in Africa. Almost a million people live in a region the size of New York City’s Central Park with no running water, bathrooms or reliable electricity in their homes. This is where Kenya’s first free high school for girls (KGSA) was established. @kgsafoundation @simonettalein

While the educational gender gap has been decreasing in Sub-Saharan Africa, there’s still room for improvement. The World Economic Forum in 2022, identified that amount of girls in lower and upper secondary levels is not at the same rate as their male peers. KGSA is committed to addressing these disparities by providing opportunities for girls to be educated at every level. We are a proud partner of the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy! #EducateHer4Life

When one girl unlocks her power to make different choices, she inspires others to do so too. She starts a ripple effect that impacts her family, her community, her country and the world. That's the Girl Effect. At the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy in Kenya, the #girleffect is in full effect! When you invest in a girl's education, you are giving her the opportunity to shape her future. Research shows that girls who finish high school can make twice as much as their peers and ladies who finish college can make three times as much. Education transforms a girl's life and uplifts her, her family, her community and the world. We believe in the power of the #girleffect and are proud to support Aisha at the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy in Kenya. #EducateHer4Life

In a country, where 44% of girls don't finish high school, the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy is filling a tremendous need for girls and their families in Kenya. Unlike the USA, public high school isn’t free in Kenya. Many families can’t afford to pay for the high school tuition, uniforms, books, school supplies and other fees for their children, so boys often get preferential treatment leaving the girls behind. Many girls become teen brides and teen mothers depending on men to support them. Research shows that girls who complete high school earn more, marry later and have less children. That’s why KGSA’s mission is so important! KGSA educates 130+ girls a year giving girls the opportunity to shape their future and break the cycle of poverty. We are a proud partner of the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy and hope others will join us in supporting this very important school in Kenya in 2023. #EducateHer4Life

KGSA seniors taking a break from their exam prep to enjoy the garden! It’s a new addition to the school and the students enjoy helping Teacher Moses plant, water and tend to the fruits, vegetables and herbs that are thriving. Love to see the girls enjoying fresh air, a break from studies and a bit of nature in the middle of Kibera - the largest slum or informal settlement in Africa. #EducateHer4Life @kgsafoundation

Aisha and two of her sisters are seniors at KGSA! These three beautiful, bright young ladies study together and encourage each other to do their best. They take turns being at the top of their class academically. All three live at the dorm and are grateful for the opportunity to study and board @kiberagirlssocceracademy. They all have dreams to pursue university like their elder sister who also graduated from KGSA. We are proud to support Aisha and encouraged that others around the USA are also committed to this special school for girls in Kenya. #EducateHerForLife @KGSAFoundation

Today is the 10th annual International Day of the Girl. We celebrate Aisha and the other 135 girls studying at KGSA and the 370 girls who have graduated through the years. When we invest in girls, we transform their lives and enable them to uplift everyone and everything around them breaking the cycle of poverty for themselves, their families and their communities. This is the power of the #girleffect. Today, we also remember KGSA student Cynthia who passed away a year ago from gender based violence. Fighting for girls’ rights is so important and we are proud to support the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy in Kenya. Text KenyaGirls to 53-555 to donate and change the life of a KGSA girl! @kgsafoundation

Did you know that farmers are having much difficulties in finding natural fertilizer? This #Farm2Life project helped many farmers and gave crops that now are feeding an entire village. Thank you @simonettalein our founder for her vision and leadership.
