Battered Women Rescue and Support Project

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your support to our project helping women in distress. This reporting period we aim to expand our work to more villages and thus we conduct advocacy and orientation activities primarily among women focusing on their rights as well as ways to improve their living conditions. Most of them voiced the need for additional livelihood support so that they earn more income and be more independent. We explore ways in which to do this with them and we hope that we will be able to provide for their needs as we go along implementing our project. We were able to reach-out to 3 villages during this reporting period and we hope to package support by early next year. Advance Happy Holidays to all.

Very sincerely yours,

Michelle Frances Uy

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your generous support to our initiative helping battered women. The situation is that violence against women usually happens in the homes by relatives and close to those who are affected. Due to the issue of shame, this is often go unreported and help is not forthcoming. What we are doing is to help those when we receive reports about the situation as well as provide links to legal services. We also aim to increase the income sources of poor women via small livelihood support in villages. Livelihood support is in terms of animal raising, gardening, small stores, buy and sell, among others, depending on the needs and capacities of the beneficiary. This project needs a lot of support and hoping for your generosity. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Michelle Frances Uy
