“In 2021, Ranja CV worked with 105 Cabo Verdean community leaders and students across 4 continents (Africa, U.S., Europe, and Asia) in 10 countries (Cabo Verde, Côte d'Ivoire, U.S., Portugal, England, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, China and Japan) in order to provide networking opportunities & mentorship across the Cabo Verdean Diaspora. In addition, we partnered with 37 Cabo Verdean organizations from around the world, who are also doing incredible work for the CV community. Dear Cabo Verdean community, We do this for you. And we could not do it without you. Muito Obrigada. We can't wait to continue this work in 2022! Cabo Verde na top!”
