Capacity Building Programme: Walk with “HER”, Step by Step |
|
|
Other than making grants, HER Fund also sees the importance of strengthening grantee partners’ capacity for their sustainability. Since late 2013, HER Fund supports three of our grantee partners, JJJ Association, New Women Arrivals League (NWAL), and Concerning Group for Women Poverty, to have capacity building programme and strengthen their capacities in fund raising, financial management, membership organizing, and organization operation. This 3-year programme arranges a trainer for each grantee partner for guidance and companion, also help to apply the knowledge and experience they learnt in programme to their organization. Now, after one and half year, we are glad to share that the core training has been done and enter the phase of practice. Below is the reflection and sharing of the participants from their last core training session: “I feel more happy, confident, and powerful; " "I feel beautiful, become more expressive, know more friends; " "Better understand different women’s difficulties, and know more other organizations; " "It is good to exchange idea with others; " "Learn more on fund raising, finance, membership organizing, and direction of self-help;" "The direction of our organization is getting clearer and clearer!” "

NWAL did a fruitful retreat and set their annual plan successfully; core members and staff know their position and duty better; core members and staff know their position better and able to contribute more independently. Concerning Group for Women Poverty made some donation box and place in their office for fund raising; and they did street stations to promote themselves and the women poverty issues in Tuen Mun, their base area.  |

Except for grant making, HER Fund also mobilizes resources to support grantee partners' need. Sex workers often face problems of unstable income and high rent, thus make them difficult to plan their future. So HER Fund is now planning a financial education program tailor made for one woman one brothel sex worker together with a+b=3, a group which is experienced in providing financial education to marginalized groups, and with JJJ Association, our grantee partner. The program hopes to encourage sex workers to realize their plan and expend their life choices. It is recruiting now and will kick off at March 2015. |
