In accordance with its policy of helping grassroots women achieve
equality and sustainable development within their own countries,
Jagriti International awards a "Gratitude Grant" of up to $2,000.00
to organizations hosting Bridging Worlds volunteers. In
2002 grants were made to two groups in Nepal. Women
Awareness Center Nepal (WACN - Nari Chetna Kendra) used
their grant to purchase a new computer with internet modem for
their office. Women Acting Together
for Change (WATCH) used their grant to provide scholarship
money for educating girl children, especially the children of
bonded laborers. Again, we thank both groups for hosting volunteers
and congratulate them for their tremendous support of women's
equality and empowerment.
