Aspyre Africa is a UK-registered charity founded by Savina Geerinckx and Veronique Cowan in September 2014 to respond to an urgent gap identified in the sector: a charity dedicated to young people (often too old to benefit from existing programmes), and able to link up beneficiaries, NGOs, training providers and businesses in a meaningful and sustainable way. Aspyre Africa believes that complex realities require a thorough understanding of the local context and focused interventions in order to have real and long term impact. As a small charity we therefore want to focus on a single country at a time, developing our model and documenting our impact. Aspyre Africa offers solid experience in the child rights sector, a thorough understanding of the local reality in Senegal, a wide network of trusted partners and contacts, and a direct connection to those young people in need of support. Our values: Accountability, integrity, coordination, collaboration & sustainability
