Fundraising Launch: International Women's Day 2021
Currently we are fundraising for poultry training and start-up program for 200 women in poverty. The cost is €2,200. Please consider donating towards this important project. Participants will receive training and 20 chicks each. This is a lifeline for 200 families. They will have daily nourishment and enough eggs to sell at the market. Thank you.We provide start-up sewing materials or animals etc. afterwards for the trainees.
During this difficult time of Covid-19 we are also contributing to relief efforts for impoverished families.
We continue to help the most vulnerable families during the Covid crisis and those struggling following devastating sea surges and extreme cyclones.
This community in Sundarbans India needs assistance as food supplies are very scarce. Many people have returned home from other regions due to Covid-19.
We provided relief for the poorest families - packs of food (rice, lentils, vegetables, mustard oil, potatoes, onions, eggs) and soap/sanitiser for hygiene for mainly widows and orphans. This is a very remote/cut-off island region which suffers the full force of category 5 cyclones.
Please donate - help us to provide livelihood training and self help groups. These programs make a real difference to families.
