Equipping Women Artisans to Lead in India and Keny

Hello dear supporter,

Greetings from Berlin! We have some powerful updates to share as we continue to expand our work in India with news in Germany and Kenya.

India: A Flourishing Foundation

Our new center is officially the heart of our operations. It is safer, larger, and buzzing with life:

• The Space: We are now hosting regular yoga sessions, English classes for Farida, and utilizing our spacious kitchen for frequent cooking classes.

• Self-Sustaining: Our Women to Women workshops reached many women this year and are now 100% self-organized, meeting 1–2 times every month.

• Mental Health: For International Women’s Day, we partnered with the NGO Sangath to host a mental health workshop for 80 women, focusing on overcoming emotional challenges.

Kenya: A Strong & Empowered Goodbye

As shared previously, we are transitioning our work in Kenya to ensure our resources remain sustainable. We are incredibly proud of how this chapter is closing:

• Final Steps: The last therapy sessions concluded this March.

• The Legacy: After a final workshop on business and job applications, we provided 8 women with final scholarships to kick-start their own individual business ideas. They aren't just leaving the program; they are launching their own futures.

Berlin & Beyond: What’s Next

• New Website: Our updated site is [LIVE HERE]! It’s now much easier to see our impact and programs.

• Migrant Program: In collaboration with Tomorrow Bank, we are launching a new program for migrant women in Berlin next month to help them navigate challenges and thrive in Germany.

• We are preparing the numbers for our impact report of 2025, as soon as we have it, we will share with you. 

Your trust allows us to reach these milestones and deepen our work. As we rely on donations, please consider sharing our work with a friend or gifting a donation in someone’s name.

Big hugs,

Carla
