Who We Are

At Camala Foundation, Inc., we believe that every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream without limits.

We are more than an organization—we are a movement for education and youth empowerment. Guided by the courage of the Guinean people and inspired by the resilience of the West African diaspora, we are committed to:

  • Removing barriers to education.
  • Opening doors to opportunities.
  • Building bridges between Guinea-Bissau and the diaspora in the U.S.
  • Our vision is simple: education as the foundation for progress, equity, and transformation.

Our Mission Statement

At the Camala Foundation, we believe in transforming lives through the power of education. Our mission is to expand access to learning and empower the next generation by removing barriers that keep children and youth from thriving — both in Guinea-Bissau and among West African immigrant communities in the United States.

Through school sponsorships, after-school enrichment, computer labs, arts, sports, and mentorship in Guinea-Bissau, and through scholarships, professional development, and mentorship for West African immigrant students in the U.S., we are building pathways for opportunity, leadership, and hope.

We are guided by collaboration, compassion, and community engagement, and we are committed to creating lasting change — ensuring that every child and young person has the tools to succeed and every community has the foundation for a brighter, more equitable future.

Building a Brighter Future

The Camala Foundation is a beacon of hope and transformation, driven by the values of integrity, collaboration, and sustainability. Together, we can build a brighter future for Guinea-Bissau and its people, wherever they may be. [Read More]
