Shifting Ideas Through Education for African Women, inc.
(SITEAW, INC)
Shifting Ideas through Education for African Women, Inc. (SITEAW, INC.) is a legal non profit organization 501(C)3 founded in 2004. Its main objective is to sponsor girls who, if not in school, would be subjected to inhumane traditions, premature marriage, and trafficking.
Current Initiative and Progress
We are constructing a Basket Balancing Race Field. Basket Balancing is a sport we created to empower girls and women with a communal activity that does not hurt their bodies. All our hope for the sustainability of the SITEAW Education and Safe Center is in this project.
We believe it will not only help us to sponsor more girls in school, but it will also create jobs to help women change their lives in many ways. The ongoing construction of our Center and adjacent buildings as well as the Basket Balancing Field has brought many jobs to the local community as well. The work of constructing the field has been started (see video below), but we still need your help to raise another $5,000 and finish it before November 4, 2025 for our first race in our own Basket Balancing Race Field.
