Since 2022, we have proudly organized a series of Zumba and fitness fundraiser events in both the United States and the Central African Republic. These events have served as powerful platforms for community engagement, fundraising, and youth empowerment through sports and wellness.

From 2021 until 2024, these efforts were carried out in partnership with Gate of Harvest International, whose collaboration helped amplify our mission and reach.

Thanks to the incredible dedication of our participants, volunteers, and sponsors, we successfully:

• Raised critical funds to support young athletes in sports such as basketball, soccer, and ping pong
• Provided equipment, training, and mentorship to youth in underserved communities
• Extended targeted support to a group home for at-risk teenage girls, delivering laptop, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies to help meet their essential needs and support their education and well-being
• Built cross-cultural connections rooted in health, opportunity, and community empowerment

In 2025, Francois Pehoua Charity proudly obtained 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in the United States. This milestone strengthens our foundation and enables us to expand our impact and build a broader network of partners, sponsors, and volunteers.

We are committed to scaling our efforts, reaching more vulnerable youth, and creating lasting, positive change in the communities we serve.

Together, We are Stronger—and this is just the beginning.
