We need your help to carry out a critical training workshop, please give today!
As CEPAD finishes its work in 43 rural communities around Nicaragua, we need your help today to carry out additional training for 6 rural community organizations on Developing a Strategic Plan. 36 community leaders, six from each community association or cooperative, will attend the workshop and then take what they learn back to their communities to help them plan for the needs of their community for years to come.
Knowing how to develop strategic plans will allow the communities to better prioritize their needs and advocate for their citizens. Your donations will provide transport, lodging, materials and staff support for the training. With your gift we can make this critical training happen in the next few months. Once we move into 2015 we will be moving into new communities so your contribution today is vital! We’ve created a crowdfunding campaign on Razoo for this project to make it easy to give and share the effort with your friends, family and fellow CEPAD fans.
Community leaders say these trainings are key to their future success.
“It’s because of CEPAD that we have come as far as we have, and it’s because of CEPAD that we’ll be able to continue on our own,” said Yalena Hernandez Serrano, the head of a cooperative in the Nueva Guinea region.
The cooperatives and associations are the final step after five years of collaboration, planning and training all designed to improve stability, strengthen families, and bring economic opportunities to rural areas.
“The goal of our association is to continue producing new agricultural projects so we can improve our economic circumstances,” said Inocente Ramos Hernandez from the community Matazano in the Matagalpa region.
Please consider supporting at any level you can. This training can’t happen without your help! Whether you can donate $5 or $500, every dollar will go to support training for these community leaders. Here’s that link again! Don’t forget to share after you donate.
