From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every runner, donor, sponsor, volunteer, and supporter who joined Team Crazy Love Africa during this year’s Colfax Marathon races. Because of...
The mission of Crazy Love Africa is to serve, restore, empower, and strengthen vulnerable women in Uganda. We will positively impact the children in their care through education, community support, and sustainable job creation. By working alongside women as global sisters, we create change while addressing inequality and strengthening families and communities.
Our initiatives build confidence in such a meaningful way in the lives of our sisters. We are able to address inequality while promoting economic and social transformations. This is giving women opportunities and elevating their voices. – Jess Wiederholt
