One of the projects I've chosen for the 10% from my recent art sales:
Toundoute Women's Center Project
Location:Morocco
Volunteer Coordinator(s):J. Morello of CT
Funds Needed:$7,106.63
Original Request:$7,356.63
Project Number:378-081
Community Contribution:$2,418.60 (25%)
"Since its establishment in 2004, the Association Al-Jissar for Education and Scholarship (AAJES) has always included within its plans of action, a strategy for its concern with the development of women and children. Numerous programs and activities have been implemented under this strategy. For example, each year the Al-Jissar Association facilitates workshops for sports, culture and art that target the ever-growing population of youth. They have also held literacy classes for 4500 beneficiaries, which have enabled women to acquire an education.
In spite of their ongoing endeavors, the problem of empowering women and their integration into rural development is considered one of the major challenges that Al-Jissar Association is attempting to overcome. AAJES has analyzed this situation and has identified some of the basic needs women will require to over come these obstacles. AAJES decided the establishment of a women’s center would be the best means of tackling this issue.
This project will allow women to acquire skills such as, sewing, knitting and carpet making as well as providing them with knowledge about health and literacy, which will permit them to improve not only the quality of their individual and family lives, but also the community in which they live. To achieve this, AAJES has expressed a desire and commitment to this project with a 32.87% contribution of the total budget. In addition, the women’s center will be sustained and managed by a staff of trained AAJES members. Partnership support is requested to purchase sewing machines and looms. AAJES will provide the two spaces and the funds needed to cover other expenses such as trainer’s wages and transportation of materials and supplies. "
