    Dear Sir/Madam,
    APPLICATION FOR GRANTS IN FIGHTING AGAINST POVERTY

    These said organizations have sought for assistance from WED in providing them of materials and financial support to ease the severity been faced by the women and children of the aforementioned communities above. During our surveillance, we found out that the said communities cannot provide basic farming materials and finance to purchase garden seeds for production.
    So far, most of the foods eating are from farms cultivation’s. These foods however are not enough to take care of them throughout the year, nor continue to farm and sell the surplus produce to pay fees for their children and medical bills. Not only that, majority cannot provide good cloths to attend meetings and programs that will empower them for self development.
    Therefore, we hereby direct their urgent needs to your reputable organization by submitting a proposal on their behalf for your consideration and acceptance. In which, we hope this will help them long way and serve as other means of income generation and poverty reduction that will be a future benefits to all members.
