Dear Partner,

Thank you for your continued support of our work. Your continued partnership and support are the reasons we are able to sustain our programs and change lives one at a time.

We are always grateful for your confidence and trust in us because you invest your treasure in our work. Since the last report, which was in January of 2023, we have provided the following services to the populations we serve.

• Successfully given soft skills to three refugees who graduated from our business coaching class in January of 2023, and four survivors of human trafficking who graduated from our data entry class in May 2023

• Two survivors, two immigrants, and eight refugees/asylees will graduate from our computer/Microsoft class in June 2023.
• Four survivors/refugees are currently taking our python essential class which ends in July 2023.

• We provided about 50 high school students and their teachers with skills and tools for identifying and preventing human trafficking in March 2023.
• Five graduates of our data entry class will begin a paid internship program in mid-June with our business partner.

This year, we plan to continue to bring these skills and give tools for socioeconomic empowerment to our community. Please continue to support us in these areas:

1. We continue to need funding for providing access to computer systems for our program participants.
2. We also need funding for our internship program as this program pays participants $200 each as an incentive and also to defray transportation costs for them. This one-month program is not only a continuation of skills improvement for them, but it also gives them firsthand experiences and builds their resume.
3. We want to add more courses that will expand their skill set and improve their employability, but funding is depriving us of launching courses such as Data Processing and Virtual Administrative Assistance. Funding for these programs will enable us to pay our instructors and program coordinators.
4. Adequate funding in these areas will make our work more impactful and effective. Your support is especially important and means a lot to us.

Please continue to help change the lives of girls and women one person at a time. Let our Little drops of water, your little grains of sand, make a mighty ocean, and your little bits of kindness for eternity! We are inspired to do this work because we can count on you. 

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or suggestions you want to share with us. Thank you for your commitment and support!
