Raising Awareness!!

Thank you to all of our followers! We have just begun a new phase in Kenya with our Gender and Development Committee. We are excited you are following our journey. We want to tell you about our favorite GAD component. In the past we have offered quarterly grant rewards for Peace Corps Volunteers currently serving in Kenya. Each round was set for between 50,000 – 60,000 KSH and was awarded to PCVs who wanted to hold action days in their community that support Gender and Development in Kenya. Our last grant cycle enabled 7 PCVs to hold events targeting women and children.  The number of people reached was over 1650!! That is a ton of people educated for only $500. Now, we have to raise money for these grants differently as you can read about on our DONATE page or look to in the video posted below. It is our hope that we can continue the grant cycles past September, with your help we know we can make it work! The Peace Corps volunteers who are approved GAD money will write about their event on this blog. So keep following and see what is happening with Gender and Development in Kenya!!
