Makadif manages a number of female self reliance, empowerment and education initiatives in The Gambia that advise women on micro finance, family planning, reproductive health, illiteracy, FGM, etc.

gambia-women-meetingWe are always on the look out for teaching aids and role models for our classes, events and activities. With the meteoric rise of Misty Copeland and other black ballerinas,it seemed a good idea to begin introducing ballet in to the proceedings.

By watching ballet DVDs, story telling, group discussions, listening to music and teaching the basic ballet steps, it soon became obvious that the women were starting to enjoy the perfection of ballet itself

The strength, self-reliance, confidence and power of the ballet dancer are the key elements of female empowerment that we want young girls to  identify with and the best way to create an instant bond with these girls is to present them with their own pair of ballet shoes.

ballet-shoes-pumpsAt the moment we are relying on donations of ballet shoes from friends and relatives or well wishers and holiday makers who we have met along the way. We are also thrilled to have the support of the Footloose Mission in the US. – More on Ballet Shoe Donations

Our plan is to increase the number of ballet workshops that we hold and in the long term recruit some girls with real potential, determination or ability for serious ballet lessons.

New leather or satin ballet shoes for girls in all sizes would be helpful but seconds, returns, old stock and clearance shoes would also make a difference to things over here.

In West Africa 16 million girls are not in school due to complex social, political, traditional and economical factors. Everything from marriage practices to disease to poverty to seasonal labour requirements contribute to this catastrophe.


Using ballet, dance and the performing arts, the Ballet Hss Decided mission is to help these young underprivileged girls to get into school, expand their horizons, explore their creativity and build the friendships, confidence and self esteem to live a better life. Get Involved
