New grant disbursed:
Thanks to the support of our regular donors, we have had the great joy and privilege of being able to give out our biggest grant yet of $2130 to the women's association of Bella Ahoukro & Bodo in Côte D'Ivoire:

The joint women's association for the two villages used the money to buy agricultural equipment and seeds: Two cassava grinders, two cassava presses, 20 hand plows, 20 machetes, seeds for growing a variety of crops, and more.
As usual, we supported the women throughout the process from withdrawing the money to paying the vendor, confirming receipts and amounts, and making sure they could leave Bouaké with all the right equipment in hand. We do this to ensure the money is used as intended, to help keep the women safe while handling this amount of cash, and to support them in obtaining good prices at the shops. We will be visiting the women in the villages to see how the equipment and seeds have been put to use and the impacts these have made on their community.
This grant also marks an important milestone: We have now supported over 1000 women and over 4000 children with our community grants. This is a very significant achievement for a relatively small organisation as ours, and we have only been able to reach this because of the regular support of our members.
On behalf of our organisation and the 5000 people we have now had the privilege of being able to help: Thank you!
We wish you all the best for the rest of 2025,
Yours sincerely,
Frederik Federspiel, MD, MPH, PhD
