Prepare Women Leaders in Financial Management

Dear Donors,

We are thrilled to have received your gracious support to kick start our work on Training Women leaders in Financial Management skills. Since we received the bulk of your trust in March, we are awaiting the transfer of resources from GlobalGiving to conduct our first training.

Below is our Plan:

1. A meeting with identified resource person having knowledge on Capacitating women in Financial Management to develop a short term plan for coming 6 months

2. A Two day workshop with Women leaders leading this portfolio in their Women’s Federations

-          Discussing Current financial practices and documentation in the light of legal compliances and prudent accounting practices (savings, credit, loaning, repayment, monitoring norms, compliance, interest accumulated)

-          Finalising a three monthly plan to improve systems and institutional form for microfinance initiative- with apprenticeship work assigned to each Federation leader.

We are also overjoyed to share that Utthan has received a small support for business development in the sector of retailing low cost sanitary napkins targeting the unserved rural female populations.The crucial support given by you will also help them in making this activity profitable. We are currently looking for low cost sources to purchase the napkins in bulk.

Another accomplishment we would like to share is that Utthan has maintained its Superstar organizational status on GlobalGiving. We have been vetted and are also a top ranked member based on GlobalGiving parameters, for our efforts in 2017.
