PURPOSE OF GRANTS & FUNDING 
The regions we work with & cater to have educated communities that lack the necessary
skills, funds or confidence to enter into self employment.
• little employment opportunities & resources especially in rural areas, farms need to work
• huge over population problem in city centers, our programs are designed to make rural &
out of town area more attractive especially to the youth.
• women we cater to need a mere seed & a little tending to to produce amazing results.
Some are victims of trauma & we aim to keep them on a safe path.
• to address gender inequality. Projects aim to empower women & to try & insulate them
from the harsh society & keep them away from vulnerable or desperate situations.
