Weaving Hope: Nurturing El Salvador’s change generation
What do we want to do?
This 2-year project will partner with local and established changemaker groups who are already active in their communities. We will equip them with the confidence, skills, and networks they need to design and implement movements influencing public discourse, on issues that are most relevant to them.
The goal of our project is to transform energy and ideas into sustainable, community-ed solutions, while also investing in the long term capacity of young leaders to become agents of change, well beyond the support of any single institution.
What we need to make it happen?
We are seeking $210,000 USD over 2 years to implement this SHIFT movement.
The following breakdown outlines project costs:
