Donnations appeal

Women take the development of their village into their own hands – ecologically and self-managed. We can support them with financial contributions for training. Give hope to the women!

In Mubaya, a group of women has come together to train in management, microfinance and chicken farming according to permaculture principles. The goal is to establish chicken farming and egg production that will provide the women with an income independent of their husbands. In addition, the women learn how to advance each other’s projects with microcredits in order to secure the livelihood of their families in a self-managed manner.Your help is needed to advance this women’s project. Your donations will help train the women’s group. You provide the women in Mubaya with the opportunity to develop self-confident economic foundations for themselves and their families. And this in an environmentally friendly way. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your valuable contributions.
If you would like to learn more, please do not hesitate to contact us.
