Dear Donor

Thanks very much for contributions,we are overcome the year and the 25 persons with disabilities flood affected peoples supported in March 2024  were evaluated and 35 of them selected for more support. We also gave grants to 18 older beneficiaries who are aiming now at completely removal from poverty. You might see some men in the picture, we took the disbursement ceremony as an opportunity to give some prizes for another project in the community, Innovation Challenge. “I want to thank those who supported me, I pray for them every day and they should pray for me too, because they have planted a seed in me. I will not disappoint them.” receiving her grant. We will give you more details in the next report. For now we want to share with you the Summary of the year. Achievements: 15 Persons with disabilities were supported with this project 7 persons with disabilities were supported with grants High mobility of beneficiaries complicates execution and follow-up. Shortage of fund support but people is more and more The experience with the local govt. was not satisfactory. They have need more and more support We have made great strides at poverty alleviation but we are still facing a ceiling when it comes to complete break out of poverty and economic empowerment. The department needs to explore solutions to provide higher amounts of capital to be used at the right time and pace.

Thanks so much for being there. You have given us legitimacy when nobody else would, and now your support is reaping fruits. This March 2024 we are going to help as many girls as we ever helped in the whole history of the program!
