WHAT IS FUTURE ON OUR HANDS USA?
FIOH-USA is a 503c(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2005 by two Buffalo women - Sister Linda Glaeser SSJ, and her niece Michele Sprada. For almost 20 years, this small, volunteer-run nonprofit has been funding sustainable projects throughout Kenya and Zambia. Through the IMC Masterclass, Canisius students are working to bring awareness to and raise funds for FIOH-USA so it can continue to impact the futures of men, women and children in impoverished communities.
WHAT WILL THE MONEY BE USED FOR?
100% of funds received by FIOH-USA go directly to projects in Kenya and Zambia. Communities submit proposals outlining their needs and how the projects will be sustainable and beneficial for everyone. We fund these initiatives when resources allow, but if not, they remained unfunded.
Ready to become a Future Maker?
Before her untimely death in 2020, Sister Linda Glaeser SSJ, co-founder of FIOH-USA, always used to share stories of the people she got to meet in her travels to Africa.
Students like Terrence pictured here are the future makers we get to help. We hope to see you at the fundraiser are we share more stories and make more futures bright
