IMPACT

This Give to the Max Day we’re highlighting our Economic Development programs, which have grown significantly in the past year. Give Us Wings is growing economies and fostering entrepreneurship by:

Partnering with agricultural cooperatives to provide training, materials, and equipment to help them grow their enterprises
Providing skills training to women who had to drop out of formal schooling, enabling them to start their own small businesses
Offering kitchen gardening classes to educate about nutrition and food security
Connecting partners to agricultural companies to facilitate business loans and donations

Currently just over 800 co-op members and skilling trainees are directly benefiting from these programs, with additional benefits rippling out into the community. But there is much more we can do. Help us keep up the economic momentum by making a donation today!

DONATE!

Donations in any amount can have a huge impact! Here are some examples of what your gift can accomplish:

$25 can provide a new tailor with an additional packet of material

$50 can pay for seeds and fertilizer for a new growing season

$100 can buy a hairdressing chair for a trainee

$250 can cover expenses for co-op monitoring visits for one month

$500 can enroll one new woman in the Community Youth Skilling program

$750 can cover the cost of a training session with a government agriculture expert

$1000 can supply 5 families with manual irrigation pumps to reduce watering labor
