QSV is also educating volunteers and introducing participants to our programs past and present. We will continue to do this as to seek out the right fit for us as a pioneering Nonprofit operating in Greater Senegal in the more rural areas.
We hold meetings here USA Metro Wash/DC/MD/VA and in Senegal QSV location office and thus introduce potential members to whom we are and what our causes are to date.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The main goal is to build our first Women and girls Empowerment Education Social Center. To help accomplish this we are Fundraising, Fundraising and Fundraising!
Social media and networking has played a huge role to educate others.
