The most useful topic in which I received mentoring was grant-writing.

Sr. Lucy, of the Little Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi in Kenya, was mentored by Sr. Schola, LSOSF, over a period of about one year. In 2015, Sr. Lucy secured $16,509 in grant funding from two donors:

  • Mensen met een Missie, and
  • Missionszentrale der Franziskaner.

She used the funds to implement a project focused on empowering single mothers with technical skills so that they can sustain themselves and their families. Sr. Lucy Anne reported that the most useful topic in which she received mentoring was grant-writing.

This project is directly addressing UN Sustainable Development Goal(s):
