Wanteete Women development group:

After coming up with good ideas and implemented their own school- the New York Junior school which is helping over 120 students currently, the 80 women are now designing a proposal that will help them move out of poverty as they will aim at increasing their household incomes. The group has divided into three groups as it was in the development of the school proposal and are starting to discuss and come up with the proposals. They are to decide whether they do the crop production or animal rearing.

Giving speech on behalf of  women

Signing of grant agreement on behalf of community

The women are saying that each earns less that $1 in a week, they lack basic necessities for domestic use and they fail to support their children education due to being below the poverty line.  Some of them are widows and grandmothers who have a lot of orphans and who lost their parents due to either HIV/AIDS or other diseases. Their voice of appeal is that if given an opportunity of a Microgrant of about $3000, can help them work extra harder and push them selves out of poverty and thus increments on their household incomes. About 20 women of these are HIV/AIDS positive and hope that this project will help them improve on their standards of living since they need nutritious foods.

They will soon come up with an action plan and how this will help over 80 families increase on their household incomes in the Wanteete village.

We appeal to to any one who can help Wanteete Women raise $3000 which is needed for their planned project.
