Celebration

It started with girls selling cookies and juices door-to-door to raise money to buy school books. It is now Celebration Baked Goods, a pastry shop and catering service; and Celebration Sewing Workshop, a crafts boutique with a small but growing international clientele.

Offering Employment and Opportunity

Two business pursuits. Both of which support the 10,000 Girls educational program. Both of which also offer employment, vocational training, and business experience to girls who have finished or otherwise been excluded from school. Those girls who run Celebration Baked Goods and the Celebration Sewing Workshop: the Jeune Filles Entrepreneuses de Kaolack (J-FEK), Young Women Entrepreneurs of Kaolack.
