Child Brides Support Project

Dear Friend,

Greetings and thank you very much for your donation to our project helping very young women and girls who become child brides and taking care of families already instead of going to school or doing productive activities. During this reporting period we provide support by advocating vegetable gardening using land areas that are vacant around the house. In this way they earn income and provide food and nutrition for their families. We engage them into non-formal education and using their farming experiences as basis and starting point. We will continue this effort in the coming months in order to increase our number of beneficiaries. During this reporting period we are able to assist a total of 35 child brides by providing them much-needed farm inputs like seeds and fertilizer. Hoping for your continuing support. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Michelle Frances Uy

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your support to our project helping child brides. The difficult social and economic situation in the villages partly as a result of climate change and lack of alternative income sources has fueled the rise of child brides. We don't know the cause and effect of this phenomenon but this is something that causes alarm and that governments should look into. This reporting period we focus our support to providing food and livelihoods to child brides and women in similar situation. We were able to support a total of 15 women in this manner and we hope to increase the number in the coming months. The livelihood support we are offering are mostly on home-gardening and the raising of vegetables. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Michelle Frances Uy
