At Crossroads International, our volunteers are more than agents—they’re catalysts for real change. We’re spotlighting their stories of connection, resilience, and transformation across sub‑Saharan Africa. Explore how their journeys foster lasting impact for communities and themselves.
In February 2025, a dozen Crossroaders prepared for the trip of a lifetime: The Charity Challenge. From February 10th to 20th, and after fundraising over $7,500, the participants visited partners, projects and community members all around Senegal, from Kaolack to Kedougou, and many regions in between.
Black storytellers are essential voices in the body of knowledge on international development, humanitarian aid and global solidarity. During Black History Month, we celebrated and amplified the ideas and perspectives of Black thought leaders and innovators worldwide – and we will continue to do so all year round.
This year’s International Women’s Day theme, “Strength in Every Story”, highlights the resilience, determination, and impact of women worldwide. At Crossroads International, we witness this strength every day in the women we support—farmers adapting to climate change, entrepreneurs building sustainable businesses, and advocates fighting for human rights.
February is a month of learning, empowerment, and collective action at Crossroads. It is a time to celebrate Black history, amplify international development efforts, and stand against gender-based violence. Through stories, activism, and meaningful discussions, we aim to challenge mindsets, drive change, and build a future rooted in justice and equality.
