As promised in our last report dated Februeary 9, we have completed the necessary steps to begin with our new cohort of Women Entrepreneur counting with the generous donations received for this project along a 6 months period.

Our beneficiaries are located in the western are of the Zulia State, where a Goajira population attend to a series of activities developed by Cendisol to elevate the quality of life of a 2,000 people population mainly integrated by women, children and youngters. We have know of these and reached them through our relation with the Voluntary Dividend for the Community, second level organization that represents United Way International in Venezuela. They have conducted several feeding projects to maintain the level of health and nutrition of these beneficiaries but there is a Noon sister who leads the population to take advantage of every initiative offered. In our case, we have maintained conversations with Sister Marta Escobar, who has supported us in identifying women beneficiaries to attend our socio education programs to teach or improve their basic Entrepreneurial knowledge in order to make them productive individuals and consequently add value to their performance as households providing for their families, while these education contents aimed to enhance their abilities and preparation for work not only to begin or improve their economic initiatives, but also to strengthen them as employers for many women population who needs to be included in the economic system.

June and July have been considered as per our planning schedule as the period for the main program workshops implementation, which contains 12 modules and practices. We hope to be able to present our results in our next report, but are sure this prolongued preparation will conduct to obtain great results within this population.

Searching for new remote beneficiaries

By Ileana Leyba | Project Leader and JA Venezuela's CEO

For over a quarter, we have expected to solve financial restrictions within local and foreign banks derived from sanctions applied to the Venezuelan Government by the US Administration. Such situation has impeded to receive donations already given to GlobalGiving from our generous donors for our project to advance. With that in mind, along the last few years we've accomplished various programs as committed, focused on inspiring, motivating and preparing with personal soft skills and financial contents an important number of beneficiaries who have initiated personal businesses and kept these over the time.

However, considering we need to support operations, some processes require investment, beginning by our personnel structure. Nonetheless, as we do not want to reduce the operation, we have found a way to continue, based on the power of the internet and education platforms developed by our global organization and adapted for every geography. During and after the worst moment the Covid 19 Pandemic has presented several variations and it's been changing or surprising us consequently, while we have been exposed and learnt interesting contents, all renewed, which will now be used to reach a new cohort of rural women in the months to come. Such group of women are part of a Wayuu community at Las Marites, a town of the Venezuelan Goajira area called located beside a natural lake in Zulia, a Venezuelan western State.

We have already established contacts with a noon who commands and is the engine of a variety of initiatives to improve the quality of life of a very poor indigeneouscommunity, She has provided them with tools and artisan knowledgeg to build small businesses and the promise of continuing their education with our financial and entreprenurial content has been welcome while it has opened new opportunities for them to continue strenthening their preparation to initiate sucessful businesses.

Our plan contemplates to initiate these remote classes fro March on, trying to begin the plan during the celebration of Women's Day .

It is very important to highlight that our job had not been possible without support and trust on our objectives provided by our donors, being imperative for them to know that their funds will be invested properly to expand our impact on the most needed communities as these rural indigenous tribes are. Without their wise investment for the lesser benefited our work couCivud 18ld not simply been possible.

Thanking all you inadvance, we are sure our next report will show the impact while this new cohort go forward to reach their "Entrepreneur Women" well deserved certificate.
