How it all started.
FOUNDERS STORY
I sponsored a little girl from Kenya when I was 15 years old and ever since then, it’s been my life-long dream to visit Africa to do some humanitarian work. Even though I was travelling the world as a Fashion Designer and had a wardrobe that most of my friends would die to own, something was still eating me up inside. I didn’t want to be just happy, but to matter. To make a difference in the world. To know I put a smile on a child’s face was the satisfaction I was craving and the liberation I was seeking and in all honesty as I evolved that was still not enough. What use is a smile if it cannot be sustained? It needed a foundation. I wanted to provide opportunities that taught values, created sustainable life styles and empowered beyond foreign financial dependency. I created LocalAid so that money invested, is money well directed.
