First Semester Updates

Workshop Madel-Thivim, Goa - India

Dear Supporter,

We're thrilled to share some exciting updates from Project Tres!

New Website with Annual Reports:

Our website has been revamped! You can now find all our annual reports since our founding in 2020. These reports offer in-depth information about our work, approach, impact, and future plans (detailed in the 2023 report). Click here to explore the new website.

Updates from Kenya:

We've expanded our Kenyan team, with a new member responsible for keeping our Nairobi center clean and organized.
We've increased Linda's (our local leader) salary and provided postnatal financial support to one of our members for three months. Additionally, we've provided two women with rent support.

Women Teaching Women:

We have 11 members in India receiving monthly payments.
We're excited to announce a new program led entirely by these women! This program allows the women in Goa to teach handcraft skills and share their experiences with Project Tres to other women in the local community.
This program creates a double benefit: increased income for existing members (who are paid to teach) and positive impact on a larger group of women.
The results have been fantastic! Instructors feel valued and respected, while participants are interested in our work and eager to potentially continue their involvement. They're also grateful for the inspiring stories shared by women from their own community.

Looking Ahead:

Next month, we'll be focusing on paying school fees in India. Funds raised will be used for this purpose and other needs outlined in each donation category.

Thank you for Your Support!

We deeply appreciate your ongoing support and trust. We're incredibly proud of our annual reports, so please visit our new website for further information and to explore them.

Warmly,

Carla

Mental Health Care Campaign | Final Report

By Carla Maria de Souza | Founder

Hello dear supporter,

I'm coming today to send you some news about Project Tres.

Since our last report almost 2 months ago, a lot continued to unfold within our project. A new year has started, and I guess the most exciting news we have to share with you first hand here, is that we managed to include 3 monthly paid women in our Indian project this year, and one more in Kenya, as well as an average increase of 33% of the monthly payments for ALL the previous 5 women in our Indian team. This didn't happen since 2017.

For the mental health program, the therapy sessions in Kenya, in partnership with Crossways, were a big success. The women love the local therapist assigned to them and have discussed topics such as grief, motherhood, anxiety, domestic violence and already shared that for this semester, they want to learn more about financial education.

In India, the sessions were taking longer to unfold due to changes in the Covid-19 regulations for meetings, but now the next appointment is scheduled for the 18th of February. Overall, we keep on providing them with work as much as possible, kids are studying and all our members are healthy, so this is already a great thing to share at the moment.
Our job in Project Tres is to ensure that the women and their children and families are safe, with all their basic needs covered, and able to work as much as possible. All that is only possible, because of your contribution.

This report will close this campaign, but the work in the areas of therapy and personal development will continue. If you have a recurring donation, you will be transferred to our newest ongoing campaign automatically.

Thanks for investing and trusting in our work. I wish you a great day wherever you are, from our Project Tres family to yours,

Stay healthy,

Carla.
