How we got interested in this project:
For nearly 6 years Asena Filková worked as a contractor for Thomas Thor in Paris and in Bratislava. At the beginning of 2017, she decided to change her life and started to work for People in need Slovakia, a non-profit civil society association, established in Slovakia in 1999. She was then detached to the NGO Network for Ecofarming in Africa, Kenya chapter – NECOFA – a community based organization promoting Ecofarming: ecologically and socially sustainable land Management. It works towards empowering communities to sustainably access education, health, food security and social dignity. The organization has activities in Nakuru, Baringo and Makueni counties and works with rural community groups and schools.
Asena set up this project among others and the personal connection between her and Thomas Thor made it a very obvious opportunity for us to help.
Thomas Thor supports women empowerment and believes it starts with equal opportunity to access education. By helping girls to attend school and women to create sustainable products that are useful to their community and environment friendly, we hope to be part of a more global change.
