Coronavirus Women-led Small Business Support Fund

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings for the New Year and thank you very much for your kind support for our coronavirus women-led small business project. We are very happy that despite our difficulties encountered in 2021 we are still in the midst of helping women who are undertaking small business in order to improve their livelihoods and incomes. This reporting period we are happy to inform you that the fruit wine making project implemented by a women's association was able to win an award from a government agency and they are geared-up for expansion in their business enterprise by the purchase of additional equipment and consumables. One of their difficulties is the purchase of new wine bottles from suppliers. Again thank you very much and hoping for your continuing support.

Very sincerely yours,

Michelle France 

Dear Friend,

Warm greetings and thank you very much for your generous support to our initiative providing support for women entrepreneurs during this time when the coronavirus pandemic is still affecting so many communities and the poor are the most affected. During this reporting period we focus our support to providing farming inputs to women farmers with the aim of improving their incomes while they are mostly at home. Our strategy is the passing-on-the gift type wherein the recipients are requested to pass-on the support to other beneficiaries when they are able. We organized local communities to undertake this system of support for each other and hope that this approach will work and be beneficial to all. This reporting period we are able to provide 7 women with farming inputs ranging from small and large animals and vegetable seeds. Hoping for your continuing support to this important initiative.

Very sincerely yours,

Michelle Frances
