The single women in Nepal are being marginalized and discriminated in every aspect of life from cultural traditions to laws and policies. Single women are in a worse state and still they are considered as symbols of ill-omen and the cause of the death of their husbands. This project collets and share the realistic voices of single women to transform their sorrow to strengthen in Jhapa district through creating website and newsletter.
Nigeria: Ibani Language Orthography Workshop
The Ibani Language is the mother tongue of the Ibani people found in Bonny and Opobo Communities in Rivers State, Nigeria. The language is Endangered. We proposed to train and equip as many as possible Ibani youths and adults with skills to effectively write the language and teach others using social media. Lets Speak Ibani is our facebook group page doing this for more than a year now, we hope give more tools to our people and engage them more.
Sri Lanka: Voice of the Grassroots
There are two community forums created by our organization to make a community group to access to resources, raise their voice and effective management of micro grants provided under our organization. Still they haven't have proper platform to get together to share knowledge and experiences continuously. Since this project is focusing on creating the e-space to share their experiences, problem resolving documentation of their work progress.
