 Closer Connection to a ProjectMany Friends have asked us for a more direct connection with our project partners. Many of our project partners also yearn for a more personal connection. Now you can "earmark" certain Right Sharing projects and know that your dollars will go to those specific projects. You can follow their development as reports come in (these will be posted on our website, under "Projects", or you may request copies from the office).Current Closer Connection ProjectsSmall Businesses and Petty Trading Capacity Building and Revolving Fund Comprehensive Interventions to Empower Women from Oppressed Communities Women's Tea Farming and Small Businesses Empowering "Women in Dialogue" via Income Generation Economic Sustainability of Muslim Women Through Rural Women's Milk Society Integrated Farming and Organic Food Processing Cultivation of Plantain Trees and Sale of Products Small Businesses and Petty TradingContributions accepted until June 30, 2008 Project partner: Njagbawo Destitute Women Development Project Project highlights: (Full description) * Women to sell fish, grains, palm oil, meat, palm wine, fruit and vegetables. * Each of 65 women will receive a loan of $65 to start her business.

How It WorksAt present, we have 8 projects which may receive restricted contributions. There are some limitations. One is that the project must be a multi-year grant in its second (or subsequent) year. One-year projects and multi-year projects in their first year will be funded as before, from unrestricted contributions. A second limitation is that if the restricted contributions for a particular project exceed its total needs, the surplus contributions will be treated as unrestricted contributions to Right Sharing. Finally, if a project does not receive enough restricted funds to cover the grant promised to it, the difference will be made up out of unrestricted contributions.
