The Waters Edge at Giovanni’s

Sweet Mother is a 501(C)3 charity established to give underprivileged children both locally and globally a second chance through education. We believe that education helps the most vulnerable people transform their lives.In recent years, Sweet Mother has built classrooms and provided annual scholarships at the FAWE (Forum of African Women Educationalists) Secondary School for Girls in Waterloo Village, Sierra Leone. Many of these girls were kidnapped, brutalized, and raped, during a 10-year war in Sierra Leone. This FAWE School has been a refuge for these girls who have lost everything. Many more children have been orphaned by the Ebola crisis in this part of West Africa and FAWE Sierra Leone has opened another facility to opportune education for these Ebola orphans.This year our local support will go to the MacFlane Project. Their goal is to provide mentoring services for at risk girls ages 14-18, located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The model encompasses improving self-esteem, fostering healthy decision making skills, and empowering these young ladies by implementing behavior interventions. Through this program, girls will experience positive youth development by acquiring essential life skills that will help them navigate life’s challenges both in and out of school.Sweet Mother has raised funds and awareness of its educational objectives through an annual dinner dance event, The Sweet Mother Awards, which celebrates the outstanding accomplishments and strength of Ordinary Women who have successfully balanced motherhood, careers, and community service. This platform has created a network of individuals motivated to educate the underprivileged and provided for the exchange of ideas and experiences.The 2024 AWARDS AND FUNDRAISING EVENT will be held on Saturday, September 21st, at Waters Edge Giovanni Restaurant, 2748 Boston Post Rd, Darien, CT 06820.
