What a journey! Flexible funding is the way to go. We are here because @oxfamkenya through the Trust Based - Women Rights Fund, believed in our vision, supported our formative stage and held our hand. We are standing strong today, because someone Believed in us!!
We spent last week with eleven women's rights organisations across Nairobi and Mombasa.Not one of them was told what to do with the money.That's the Women's Rights Fund: flexible funding, and the power to decide how it's spent. Trust the organisations. Fund them properly.
