Mission Statement:

humanitarian organization to you knowing that you will give it your attention further.  Bliss women and children is a non governmental organization affiliated and founded in 2004 and whose main focus is supporting women and children and those who have no parents.  We offer aid and health to shelter, educate, and give a health care to the women and children.

 

Our community based project has identified areas where we can contribute effectively e.g. healthcare, nutrition education sanitation hygiene skill/vocational training, sports training income generating activities among others useful skills.  Refer to attached proposal.

 

Our mission is to work with the women and children, orphans and marginalized people to eradicate poverty by eradicating the social inequity that causes it.

 

 

BLISS MEANS HAPPINESS

Our work has revealed that a large amount of work need to be done to ensure that the women and children are well assisted, loved, cared, and counseled effectively.  More women and children are molested and abused physically and even sexually whereas more task shelter and are abandoned.

 

The project’s source of recurrent costs purely depends upon donation from donors and well wishers.  Currently the project does not have a stable permanent donor or partner.

 

Our sincere request is to have partnership with your organization.  We consider it important that both Kenya and foreign organization or individual could find the opportunity to help these children.

 

Our organization is ready to collaborate with you if you have definite proposals on supporting women and children in need.

 

Please kindly define the criteria for eligibility and award for your help as well as providing information on how to receive and solicit the project funds.

 

We shall be grateful if you submit to our sincere request and consider us for your grant assistant or any additional and helpful assistance.  Please confidently contact us.  We further would like to invite you here in Kenya to visit.  We would not hesitate to give you a warm welcome.

 

Thank you in advance.
