A current project “Nyamirambo Women’s Center - Women for Women” funded by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Slovenia and the Peace Institute is coming to the end. From September onwards NWC doesn't have any sources of funding, not even to cover the basic costs such as NWC office rent.
Last couple of weeks we were busy writing a project proposals. We were actively fundraising to ensure an uninterrupted work of the Center after the termination of the current project. We have applied to several potential donors - The Global Fund for Women, The African Women's Development Fund, ASA Program, and sent a letter of intent to Norwegian People's Aid. We have also started to work on a proposal to Open Society Institute - East Africa.
Grants would be used for an uninterrupted continuance of our activities, including administrative expenses necessary to keep the program running. The activities funded by these grants would contribute to socio-economic empowerment of women and poverty reduction, through trainings for income-generating activities, providing women with knowledge, skills and capacities, and achieving even greater impact of Nyamirambo Women’s Center in the local community.
So, keep your fingers crossed!
