Exciting Updates from Our Women to Women Program, Kenya & Beyond!
Hello dear supporter,
We're thrilled to share some exciting updates on our progress and what's on the horizon!
Women to Women Program Expansion: Our Women to Women program is flourishing! This year alone, we've reached 124 women, empowering 117 in India and 7 in Kenya. We're incredibly proud of this growth and the positive impact it's making.
Kenya Workshops Launched: We successfully launched our workshops in Kenya this past March, following the inspiring visit from Farida and Amanda. Their time there was invaluable, allowing them to connect deeply with the women, explore other local projects for inspiration, and effectively implement the workshops.
Kenya Partnerships Extension: In February 2025, we solidified crucial collaborations with two prominent local organizations in Kenya, significantly expanding our support network. We partnered with Food4Education to provide daily nutritious meals to all participating women and their children, ensuring their basic needs are met and fostering a conducive environment for learning and growth. Additionally, we joined forces with SHOFCO to offer comprehensive healthcare, legal assistance, and funerary support, addressing critical vulnerabilities and empowering women with essential resources.
New Workshop space in Kenya: Further enhancing our program's infrastructure, we launched our new workshop space within Hai Africa's newly constructed school in Kabiria, providing a dedicated and safe environment for our educational and empowerment initiatives.
New training in Kenya: We introduced a specialized housekeeping workshop in Kenya, designed to equip women with practical skills that directly address the needs of the local community, thereby enhancing their employability and economic independence.
Kenya Team Growth: We're pleased to announce that Jane has joined our team in Kenya, receiving monthly compensation to support our local leader, Linda, in managing our finances. This strengthens our operational capacity and ensures efficient use of your generous donations.
Continued Support for Women: Building on our progress, we're dedicated to increasing the number of women receiving monthly compensation to 15, 13 in India + 2 in Kenya. Your ongoing support will directly contribute to this goal. We are continuing to support our current projects in India and Kenya.
Rent Support: We are currently providing rent support to 5 women in Kenya.
Website Update Coming Soon: We're in the final stages of developing our updated website, slated for launch in April. This new platform will feature an improved interface, a comprehensive donation page highlighting our impact and programs, and we are working towards a German version.
Impact Report on the Way: We're diligently working on our 2024 impact report and look forward to sharing it with you in our next update.
Thank you so much for your unwavering support and trust. Your contributions are making a real difference in the lives of women in India and Kenya. Please help us spread the word about our work to increase our community of monthly donors. We wish you a healthy and fulfilling year ahead!
Big hugs,
Carla.
