This foundation provides educational support to these children through merit-based scholarships, tuition fees, food and learning materials.
Missy BK’s mother is an important inspiration for her philanthropy. According to Missy, “My mother taught me, I don’t have to wait until I have millions to start helping people, she told me it’s not how much I give but it’s the love that I put into what I give that matters and a little something given to someone could make a big difference in their lives.”
The foundation serves Cameroonian children through education sponsorship, supplies for schools and Make-A-Wish program.
