Right Sharing of World Resources
Type of project: Income-generating, self-employment projects to small, grassroots women’s groups that do not have access to other adequate funding. Our grants are for micro-enterprise, self-employment projects. We help with seed money and training so that a group can begin a revolving loan fund for members to take loans to begin their own small businesses. It is important to us that the women work together in self-help groups and use the RSWR resources to help themselves grow into independent and strong groups.
Location: Kenya
Eligibility: All groups must be self-directed by the women beneficiaries themselves. The leadership and management must come from within the group. The group cannot be formed or managed by outside coordinators. Groups should be less than 20 years old and have an annual budget of less than $4,000
Grant size: Up to US $5,500
Deadline: November 30. We strongly recommend that proposals be received by us at least a month in advance of these deadlines.
