Project Tres gemeinnützige UG

Hello dear supporters, 

It’s a new year and we couldn’t be more excited for a fresh start! We’re going to take a look back on 2023 — the good, the bad, the bubbly. And let you know what’s next for Project Tres.
2023 was a year that saw many personal budgets trimmed or cut. Demand grew, while access to resources shrank. As a grassroots volunteer organization, we also found ourselves tightening belts. Our mission remains steadfast, and our priority will always be the well-being and support of our artisans in India and Kenya. 
While budgets tightened in 2023, it allowed us to rethink fundraising and has made us even more grateful to you — our monthly donors. It is with your support that we keep carrying the torch to help women and their communities discover greater personal opportunities.
Challenges aside, your donations have made the following possible:

Our ladies in India are taking more initiative towards their development, by organizing English classes, looking for new mental health service providers, and enthusiastic engagement in their activities and yoga classes. We've welcomed two new groups of women, in partnership with the Brazilian group "Respiro". This brought further interculturality, cultural exchanges, and extra income for our ladies in India. Our cooking classes have been a smashing success! We’ve so far seen 50 participants across 19 classes led by the women in Goa. We gained two independent volunteers in our Goa Center who have selflessly contributed to our mission. They’ve offered computer classes, and are documenting our artisans’ stories, which you’ll be seeing here soon! We organized an event in Berlin, Germany where volunteers and local artists came together to raise money and awareness for Project Tres. On a personal note, I welcomed into the world my beautiful son Lui, which made me understand even more the importance of the work we do.  The funds raised through the last months of 2023, will be used for the detailed needs of each donation category, from rent of our centers, school support, monthly payment of the women in the organization in India and Kenya, and basic food and healthcare assistance. 

I wish you all a beautiful day, and thanks for being part of our work, 

Big hugs, 
Carla.
