Dear Friends,
Over the last two weeks, our community sprang into action to unlock access to exclusive grants and matching funds during the GlobalGiving Girl Fund Campaign. The competition was fierce. While we didn't secure a place on the Girl Fund this year, the last two weeks were still a major victory for the women and girls we serve.
Together, you raised almost $10,000*. Thank you so much for your gift.
Funds raised will support annual training allowances for 15 women and girls recovering from obstetric fistula. Allowances provide women and girls with an income during their time at Mabinti, so they can afford to focus on their training and rehabilitation. After training in sewing, screen-printing, beading, business skills, English and life skills, graduates are empowered to start their own businesses or secure employment, helping them to become financially independent.
Thanks to you, more women and girls at the Mabinti Centre can write a new chapter in their story of healing. Equipped with the skills to move forward, they are building their futures, one stitch at a time. Read more about the Mabinti Centre
Asanteni sana (thank you all) for your support,
The Kupona Team
