Happy Anniversary Impact4Life! Dear friends and Impact4Life family, Thank you to all who continue to believe in our vision, support us, and lift us up in prayer. Five years ago, in 2020, right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges of confinement, I took the leap to establish Impact4Life, a nonprofit incorporated in the U.S. with operations in Burkina Faso. Our mission has been clear from the beginning: to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and youth in Burkina Faso through education, science, technology, arts, music, community service, and more. It was a tough decision, but one of the best I’ve ever made. Today, hundreds of children in Burkina Faso have the chance to learn, grow, and reach their full potential every year. Thomas Sankara, the great African leader and visionary, once said: “We must have the courage to dare to invent the future.” As Impact4Life celebrates five years today, I want to thank each of you for inspiring me to dare and keep inventing the future. A very special thanks goes to our board, Kip, Lauriane, Sylvie and BF staff Francis, Adjara, Flavien for your dedication and tireless work since the beginning. Above all, I thank God for trusting us to make a difference in the lives of children and to play a part in making this world a better place. All honor and glory to Him.
With gratitude,
Frederic Hien
