od day!

On the 21st of May, 2018 I will be taking part in a trek in a remote region of Mongolia in aid of the organisation Women for Women International UK. Women for Women International provides women survivors of war, civil strife and other conflicts with the tools and resources to move from crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency, thereby promoting viable civil societies. There are many thousands of women around the world who do not have the most basic human necessities.

Please support me in raising vital funds for Women for Women International who support women to take fundamental steps to overcome the terrible trauma of unspeakable violence, by equipping them with the confidence, tools and resources necessary to gain education, to learn a skill and successfully contribute to their communities.

Women for women have a successful history of helping people like Pari Gul, a 42-year-old Afghan woman, who after taking part in vocational training session in Afghanistan in 2002 organized by Women for Women, took up stone polishing and as a result now heads a profitable, 500-emplopyee stone cutting and polishing company in the Afghan capital, Kabul. “Here we feel so lucky to be able to be a part of Women for Women, to learn skills, help our families, educate our children.”

Please join me in this compassionate journey by giving what you can. Find out more by watching this short film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikH7pKFmkyE&list=PLEA186B27C3CECF1C&index=9

£27 could pay for Rights Awareness Training, so that a woman can learn that she is worthy of contributing to the decisions at home, including financial decision , which may be traditionally handled by only men in the family. 

£38 could pay for a goat, which can be raised for milk or cheese that can be sold at market, changing a woman’s life by giving her an income and status in her community. 

£80 could pay for a bicycle, so a woman can quickly transport her goods, helping her grow and expand her business and become more self-sufficient. 

£156 could pay for Men’s Engagement training, to give a man a place to explore gender, masculinity, and understand the benefit to families and communities when women are empowered. 

£500 could pay for ten sewing machines, to enable women to set up a tailoring business and provide an income for their families. 

£3,000 could pay for a greenhouse, for a woman to grow organic herbs to sell at market.

Share your Baraka!

Sincerely,
