Almost all of our partners have never once celebrated their birthday. Along with these simple, fun and educational gifts we will organize a simple celebration - presented by their partner, you! (Photos and videos of celebrations)
Micro-financing for business was previously part of first year plan. Now we are focusing on vocational training, literacy and business skills during first year, and aiming for a more beneficial business beginning in the second year. During first year, before mothers can start a business based on their vocational training, we are providing a food supplement of basic staples.
In addition to the actual implementation of your sponsorship plan, your partnership includes the following activities:
WORKSHOPS
Digital storytelling (Workshop for children and mothers.)
Halfway through the partnership all participants will create a 6 - 10 minute video to tell a story about important events in their life, what they care most about, and the progress of the partnership. Videos may include drawings, photos, and songs.
Drawing (Workshop for children.)
You will receive a copy of this drawing to help understand the life of your partner.
Design of the life-plan (Workshop for mothers and children.)
What does it mean to have a calling in life? How can it be achieved? We will create a five or ten year plan to ‘Achieve a dream.’
Business planning (Workshop for mothers)
Business planning and development. Vocational school training will culminate in a plan for the creation of a small business based on this after the first year (especially if the partnership continues).
