Women in their weaving workshop

As a foundation, we are grateful for what we have. The place where we can carry out activities that strengthen personal growth and development in our community, the women head of household who have answered the call and faithfully attended each activity we held, and all the love and support from our donors, for whom we are still active in our social work.

Our hearts are filled with gratitude for all the support we have received through every donation. More than donations, they mean encouragement and hope for us. As an organization, we know we are not alone; we know our work matters, and that more than donors, we have angels who have extended their hands to us so we can continue doing good to those who need it most.

We keep working for our community, providing our foundation headquarters as a home of teaching, peace, and a refuge for everyone who wants to make a difference in their life. We have continued with our training programs, bringing new topics and including new courses to also train women head of household in different areas, so they have an integral formation that helps them find a job and improve their quality of life and also their family's. The entrepreneurship, jewelry, and weaving workshops have been successful, and we hope that the new topics to be taught will have an equal and even greater reception among women.

We know that this project will have an even greater impact over time, and will continue to change the lives of many women. That is our greatest desire: to reach and impact as many lives as possible, but this will only be possible with the support of our wonderful donors, who have believed in our project and in us as a foundation.

We hope to continue counting on your support, and that you can share this project with as many people as possible. Meanwhile, we will keep fighting; we will keep believing that everything is possible, that dreams come true, and that we will reach the goal that we have set as a project.

Step by step

By Daniela Galan | Project Leader

We really thank all the donors who have joined and supported our TRAINING PROGRAM FOR WOMEN HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD project. Our foundation has been working with the population of women heads of households in several activities and workshops, and now we have really good news.

A month ago we finished our sixth entrepreneurship workshop, in which more than 20 women heads of household took degree. We held a small ceremony where we handed out the diplomas, shared a cake and above all, we had the opportunity to listen to the experiences that each woman had throughout their learning process within the workshop. It fills us with great satisfaction, joy and pride to know that with each workshop we carry out we improve and benefit the lives of them and their families, and the fact that they allow us to be part of their training and empowerment process is simply wonderful.

And the good news doesn't end there. Two weeks ago we started our first jewelry workshop for women heads of household, in which they learn to build jewelry and ornaments that generate economic resources to support their families, and in this way improve their quality of life. We have had the participation of more than 20 women, who have demonstrated their enthusiasm, commitment, and above all desire to learn. We hope that this new teaching and training topic will help them to achieve their dreams.

And this could not be achieved without the support of you, our kind and appreciated donors. We thank each one of you, and all those who are going to join to help us carry out each of our projects. We hope to continue counting on your support, this achievement is also yours, and with each new goal we reach we will not hesitate to make you participants.

Thank you donors with a caring heart, together we will cause a positive social impact in this community.

Knitting and embroidery workshop

We really thank to all donors who have joined and support our TRAINING PROGRAM FOR WOMEN HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD project. Our fundation has been working with the population of women head of household in several activities and workshops with topics like entrepreneurship, crochet knitting and embroidery, and food handling.

Our main goal with all this activities is to train all this women, giving them all the knowledge and tools, so they can get a job, or be capable of sustain themselves and their families, improving their quality of life. All this in compliance with our social programs, wich have generated a social impact.

As an example: we trained in food handling 50 women head of household, and many of them got a job. We also have been giving crochet knitting and embroidery workshops, where colombian and venezuelan women participate and learn how to make clothe, hats, dolls and more things. And then we have given some entrepreneurship classes, so they can learn how to manage their own bussiness.

This is just the begining of all we have planned and all we want to do with and for these women, because they deserve this and more. For that reason, we believe in those beautiful and supportive hearts of each donor, because we know that with their help, the TRAINING PROGRAM FOR WOMEN HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD will become a reality, not just for 50 women, but for more than 300.
