Many organizations are doing impactful work, but without strong financial systems, sustainability becomes a challenge.

Financial resilience is not just about getting funding. It’s also about managing resources wisely, diversifying income, and planning for the future.

Today we joined in fellow CSOs for an insightful webinar which opened our eyes to the reality of managing funds, organizational operation even without funding, scaling up, budgeting etc..

Thank you Lightup Impact and for the very resourceful training.

Together let us end Sexual Gender Based Violence!

25/05/2026

Sexual Minority Women continue to face SGBV based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Cases of corrective r**e, forced marriages, family rejection etc have been reported and documented over the years. As an organization CHADALA continues to champion for an end to violence and discrimination targeting young LBQ Women living in the rural and informal settlements of Nyanza Kenya(Kisumu and Siaya County).

With the able support of our partners, we continue to amplify our voices of inclusion and recognition further, while boldly taking up spaces no one imagined we could.

Thank you for this wonderful cross learning opportunity, where we also had the chance to meet and listen to stories from our sisters from Somalia and Ethiopia..

📢💔💔 "Violence against women is a human rights violation, cutting across all generations, nationalities, and communities, irrespective of age, ethnicity, disability, or background."

👉👉👉To truly end Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV), we must protect and empower women in all our diversity. True justice means ensuring every woman regardless of her background, economic status, sexual orientation, race, age, origin etc is safe, heard, and protected.

💪💪💪Let’s challenge the mindsets, break the silence, and build a culture of absolute safety and respect.

As an organization, we are happy to be part of the "Building Financial Resilience Through Adapative Governance and Leadership" training organized by Kenya Community Development Foundation and facilitated by Lightup Impact.

The training has been very resourceful to us as a grassroots organization currently working on strengthening our capacity, and it also brought about the importance of local fundraising as well as strategic governance.

While developing a fundraising plan, the board should be actively engaged and should help in the resource mobilization process.

Does your organization have a Fundraising Strategy/Plan?
