Child Brides Support Project

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for supporting our project providing help to child brides. This project is important since female children who get hitched at a very early age is at a great disadvantage. Her future is ruined. This is very true in poor rural communities. Young brides have very little chance of improving herself as the burden of family takes control. The need to provide pro-active program in order to prevent or support child brides is imperative. This reporting period we provided small livelihoods to 8 child brides and their families comprising vegetable gardening and the raising of small animals like chicken and ducks. Your help is very much needed. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your generous support to our initiative supporting child brides with food, livelihood and emergency support. During this reporting period we are happy to report that the law penalizing marriage for young girls is already in effect and we hope that this law will be effective in curbing early marriage for girls. We see and observe thay early marriage does harm than good especially to girls and they lose so much opportunities for their development if they are into this plus the fact that their physical health is compromised. This reporting period we were able to support 12 girls with small-scale livelihood support in order for them to be economically stable. Hoping that you will continue to support our initiative. Thank you so much.

Very sincerely yours,

Dear Friend,

Greetings and thank you very much for your generous gift to our project helping child brides and their families. One of the reason for the child bride phenomenon is the difficulty of poor families in raising their children especially girls and the tendency is to give them away or marry them in order to ease their burden in raising them. In this case our goal is to improve the situation of poor farming families in order to increase their income and stability. With improved incomes they will be able to send their girls to school and hence prevent the occurence of child brides. On of our approach is to introduce high-valued crops to small farming families so that they realize improved incomes and well-being. We are starting to do this village by village and we think that this is a good strategy. Hoping for you continuing help. Thank you very much.

Very truly yours,

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our initiative helping girls who might succumb to cohabitation while still very young. This happen to the poor and uneducated because there is very little opportunities for them and life is kind of difficult. They think that marriage or living with someone is the solution but the problem is that when a child is born, drudgery and economic hardships comes in. There is a need to educate young girls in the villages so that this situation is changed and that a brighter future for them may lie ahead. This reporting period we started our assistance by the provision of small livelihoods to girls and their parents comprising the raising of small animals and vegetable gardening. This is easy to do and will provide them with good reward. Hoping for your kind help so that we can expand and continue this strategy.

Very sincerely yours,

Michelle
