thanks so much for your love for girl child. here my concern is where to apply, am failing to see.
I want to have the form so that I can apply for the project inspire as our organization, Children’s Network and Family Welfare Organization-Sierra(CNaFWO-SL) is working in hard to reach rural communities in the promotion of the rights of children, women and youth who are mostly deprived. Our challenge is the video recording as we are lack of such opportunity in our areas of work. If other alternative is there, kindly let us know and if we can apply let us know also as we have huge challenges besetting women and young girls in our communities interms of socio-economic empowerment .
With regards,
Fayiah Mark Fallah
Hello Fayiah, you must submit the video pitch but it should not necessarily be of high quality. Let me share a link with you – http://projinspire.com/2013-2/. I recommend you to watch the Inspirational Award Winning Video of 2013.

Hello.
I have an organization working on youth in general in the program of reducing poverty by empowering the youth especially the female gender. we deal with women who are in bad conditions especially those who have children and not married and who do not have more than 30 years old. they don’t have husbands.
