”BizATE has put fire in my heart that makes me be up on my toes for my business.”
Margaret has a disabled child and has been a member of SNAP for many years. In 2021, we gave her a small grant to build a business and become more independent. She is a huge success and has more than doubled her profits in the last 12 months! She said “It’s not just the money, it’s what you have taught me. I used to just sit, put my items on the stall and wait for customers to come to me. Now, you’ve taught me to reach out and look for sales.’
Margaret is a shining example of our BizATE Programme – a strong woman who needed some support. She had a cash grant, a mentor and targeted training and is now thriving!
Keep up the good work!
God bless ATE to do more for Lawra Municipal
Keep up the good work!
We are so proud of Lucy and Betty, sisters from remote Biro, the first girls in their family to go to Senior High School. They are both super bright and diligent, determined to do their best. Lucy sits her final exams this year, Betty has just began her 3 year SHS journey. They are absolutely amazing young women.
Our Girls to School project makes it possible for girls from incredibly poor homes to complete education. Girls like Lucy and Betty who have grown up without eating every day, with long walks to school, and have achieved good enough grades to go on to senior high school against all odds.
It's just £300 a year to get a girl to school, and it completely transforms her life and future opportunities. We have 29 girls in this programme and hope to significantly expand it later this year - so many children need support at this stage of life.
If you can give £25 a month (or £300 a year!) to make it possible for girls like Lucy and Betty to get to school, please get in touch. Without your donations, none of this is possible.
