The Women Driving Peace and Economic Development project has been effectively reducing women’s marginalization for almost two years.
We have recently started our work on Atauro Island, a remote and improvished part of Timor-Leste. We have trained two groups of women providing them knowledge and skills on gender based violence prevention and non-violent conflict resolution while at the same time working with them to improve their entrepreneurial skills.
Yet, we need more support for the 3rd year of the project to bring more women these important skills and to provide funds for their small business start ups.
Next week our globalgiving partner is doing an incentive fundriaing event on Tuesday. So if you still have funds to donate this year then we'd love for you to donate next Tuesday!
Please share this opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of women in one of the poorest countries in the world with friends.
Thank you so much!
