A Year in Review: 2024 Annual Report

A Year in Review: 2024 Annual Report

I am pleased to present this report for the financial year 2024. The report highlights Crazy Love Africa’s key achievements during the year. It is a celebration of lives impacted and transformed. A testimony of the diligent commitment of all our global partners and the staff who worked tirelessly to meet the needs of the most vulnerable women and children in the villages of western Uganda where we serve.
I applaud the Crazy Love Africa team for their unwavering commitment and hard work during the year. There is an African proverb that says, “ If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Recognizing this, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all our supporters; including donors, sponsors, partners, board members, and volunteers. Your commitment meant that for our CLA families, there was a reason to keep hope alive.
The future of Crazy Love Africa is looking promising! We are excited about the anticipated completion of the CLA Community Center in 2025 and the expansion of our sisterhood. Prepare to join us as we enhance our programs and spread even more Crazy Love around the globe!
