Tomorrow; we will ring the bell for our first training to Bent El-Reef association's trainees, our partner in women day by day project.
Accumulating the info of the last post, through this project we are targeting to provide (3) training workshops for (10) girls from El- Dawadia village in El- Minya Upper Egypt (3) hours away from Cairo.
Bent El-Reef association is not a completely new partner for our team, we have a long history with El- Dawadia's women and girls before they had an association !!, In 2000 NWF had an opportunity to implement a project called “Creative women in Shadow”. The project aimed to spot the light on rural women's creativities in narrating, folkloric songs, poetry, drawing and hand crafts.
This was a such great chance for both of us., not only for achieving the propose of the project but also for providing the opportunity for raising awareness and advocating for women rights and equality concepts including reproductive health rights especially female genital mutilation, violence against women, and women labor in informal sector, which had an a great impact on El-Dawadia's women, it helps them to raise questions, think loudly, and put their hands on their forms of discrimination.
Later,They began to ask for organizing them selves, anther foundation (better life) continued what we begin, they provided capacity building training and good governance training for a destitution number of El-Dawadia's women, till those women had the power to establish their non- governmental organization named (Bent El- Reaf) and officially announce them self.
(Bent El-Reaf) association mainly purpose is developing the states of rural women in El- Dawadia. They already got a chance and be funded for friendly environment projects for women also they adapt a project on HIV in the village.
Actually these all encourage us to continue and accumulate our partnership. Now they are a partner with us in one of rising voices projects in Egypt, and tomorrow (10) of them will have the first training on new media and women empowerment as a kind of social change.
