is a person to person   

charity where online micro-projects   

are a catalyst to unlock human   

potential in poor villages   

try something new for a day
Low income individuals, who are stuck on the poverty line, select a learning activity so they can "try something new for a day". By learning a new skill they may discover a new business opportunity that they can go on to develop. We ask you to donate to support a micro-project that encourages self help.

As a donor we'll send you an email report with photos when it has been completed.

Micro Project Title: Reed weaving to stay cool - PWFO8021 

Budget £110
Project funds received
so far: £85. Amount outstanding £25

  • Description:
    Mrs. Majeeda Bibi has been engaged in Reed Weaving manufacturing for many years. Reed weaving makes a local product called “Chicks”, which are woven reed panels, used for housing partitions, walls and roof coverings. The chicks are being used in rural areas as they provide cover and protection to the roof, which during the summer times has a cooling effect.



    Mrs. Majeeda Bibi learned the art of making during her childhood from her father. Now she is using her skills to earn income for the family. However, she does not have ample capital to purchase her own raw materials to manufacture chicks. At the moment she is making chicks for a business man who is providing her with all the raw materials required in manufacturing the chicks. She is however now just a labourer not the family enterprise owner that could help move her out of poverty
