“Through its Mothers to Mothers Program, World Connect works directly with Community Leaders who identify solutions to challenges affecting the health and well-being of women and children in their communities. Community Leaders can submit grant applications, sponsored by trusted partners (Peace Corps Volunteers), to turn their good ideas into reality. World Connect reviews, approves and funds projects several times a year with grant awards up to $2,500 for Mothers to Mothers projects.
With Mothers to Mothers, World Connect is creating a giving channel for mothers and other champions of women’s health and well-being through the support of health, education and/or income generation projects. Grants will go to changemakers in high need communities. The impact is direct, immediate and life changing.
All World Connect projects must improve the health and well-being of women, children and communities. Projects supported through the Mothers to Mothers program focus on health, education and/or income generation. Projects can range from healthcare facility improvement and health education (Health), to early literacy and school enhancement programs (Education) to skill workshops and business development for women (Income Generation).
World Connect is currently accepting applications for Mothers to Mothers in Belize, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mali and Rwanda. Applicants must be community leaders who are affiliated with a community-based organization, non-profit organization, healthcare facility or educational institution and have the support from a volunteer currently serving with the Peace Corps. The deadline to submit an application is April 19, 2010. Grant recipients will be announced in early May!”
