AWCH has already reached the Topaz Donor status, with donations from our last two AGM Silent Auctions totaling $4,043. The
full list of clubs and their contributions can be found on the FAWCO Foundation website Club Donor Wall.
The AWCH Philanthropic Collective is looking forward to working with you to raise more funds for this cause. Look for a movie
night in autumn and, of course, for more fun auctions. There is more we can do for these girls and women over the next two
years.

Development Grant
Maika M.
The AWCH charity “Integrated Tribal Watershed Development Programme” has been awarded a Development Grant of
$5,000. The funds will support the planting of 1,500 cashew trees on 40 acres. The trees will provide a second cash crop for
40 households (235 persons), stopping devastating migration and ensuring the ecological sustainability of the watershed for
future generations. Last year they were also awarded a Development Grant to build a kindergarten, which is now complete.
Thank you Carol S., Carol H., and Brigitte B.R. for the time and expertise to submit this grant proposal.
