Programme development funding

Jacknella developed a pilot educational and vocational programme with PIRD, an NGO in Ituri Province, East Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to give girls and women who have suffered Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Hope through Education.

These girls and women are often ostracised in their communities and hidden away.

Jacknella raised the initial funds for a pilot programme funding 19 girls/women into education or vocational training. We are working closely with PIRD monitoring reports and updates. From these reports we can produce data to prove and substantiate the case for this programme to upscale in the hope we can reach more girls and women in this region and give them Hope through Education.

Jacknella are working with partners, making proposals to Corporate Organisations and Trusts to gain further funding to achieve this.
