Kids Compassion

IMAGINE GIVING UP A NIGHT OF PARTYING AND USING THAT MONEY TO SAVE A CHILD.$100 = ONE HOME + ONE EDUCATION + ONE CHILD + ONE YEAR KIDS COMPASSION CHARITY is a Mustapha Cole and TLC project. Musta was inspired to start a charity after realizing how many children lost their entire families to the ebola crisis. Having lived through and having experienced ebola first hand, he has seen how hard it is for children who are developing in elementary school ages to maintain stability and focus on the future through this chaos and loss. To rebuild these incredible children, Musta recruited TLC to form Kids Compassion Charity. They have since hand selected a high potential group of kids without families to provide these fertile minds with a home, a sense of belonging and higher moral / traditional education. We are starting small. Our first goal is to build out one school in Sierra Leone. When we are able to effectively care for the kids in this community, we plan to expand operations to help children throughout the continent have a safe space where they can thrive. Our education program focuses on entrepreneurial skills, technology, integrity, language and love.
