a. identify what grants we are eligible to apply for that coincide with our funding needs and mission
b. develop a general grant packet of information which can be tailored to individual grants
c. how best to utilize our new donor software database which contains individual donor info
d. determine how best to promote the specific programs where we are needing to fund raise money

Prior to working with OU, our women participants were normally living on less than $2 per day, and were supporting 8 to 10 children and orphans in their households. Many are widows whose husbands died in the war, or from AIDS.
We do not give handouts but work on building capacity and encouraging those we work with to help themselves.
