Resumen

Baraka Women’s Center (BWC) was established in 2012 to offer training and support to vulnerable and disadvantaged women living in the slums of Nairobi and its environs. After a low point due to the withdrawal of donors, BWC found its way up through a training in local fundraising from Change the Game Academy. Baraka Women's Center is offering a range of vocational skills trainings and sells the products that trainees make during their training to sustain the Center. BWC moreover partnered with the right stakeholders, who helped them with invitations for exhibitions and advice on the registration of a business.

Consejos y lecciones aprendidas

1. Do not be discouraged by misfortune. Look at us. We are better now than ever before and we can tell you why: it is all about determination.
2. There were times when we were so stranded because of lack of donor funds that we thought we had to quit. That is when we came across the idea of mobilising local support and decided to learn the basics of local fundraising. If you are going to put that knowledge into practice, I can give you one advice: just believe in yourself, and in whatever you are doing. Do not sit back and wait for a donor, let them approach you because they want to be associated with you and your success.

Evaluación de Wilde Ganzen Foundation

Baraka Women's Center is a real success story. Left without funding, the leadership of BWC had to sit down and figure out an alternative. During a local fundraising training it ocurred to them that the goal they wanted to achieve - training women in vocational skills - could be the answer. If they could sell the products that were produced during the trainings, they could sustain the Center. Choosing the right partners was next. Additional skills such as pitching and networking helped to secure their support. The occasional grant they manage to obtain is used for investments.
