Dear David,
Thank you for expressing a strong interest in Africa. I deal with microfinance funding to women from disadvantaged backgrounds who are running small businesses. To enable me respond better to your querry please advise/explain how you would effect the business model for tartans here in Kenya for women willing to start a tartan making business.

Dear David,
Think you so much for your interest and sharing important information on what you are doing in Ethiopia. I am so excited to know more about it.

I have been engaged in training, research, consultancies..working for higher learning institution(though worked with NGOs and civil society on areas relating to poverty reduction, addressing HIV/AIDS related problems among children, girls/women, youth, local governance...). Hope we can work together with you and many others who have interest in this area.

Dear David,

Great! Indeed we can work together..though I am from academic wing but more than happy to work with you in my spare times on areas relating to social mobilization..training, consultancy, socio-cultaural values and aligning these with investment for life, for education, for health, for profit, entrepreneurship.....

Fantastic idea, brilliant execution! I've put a link to your site on my FaceBook page.

Dear David
PUM has Country coordinators for the two or three contries and they have more than one country representative souch as I am for Serbia. My ex country coordinator is now in charge for Zambia and I think Zimbabwe. His name is Gert Bartelink ( gert.bartelink@pum.nl and he might be resource for that kind of assistance. Besides him there are many other and the best possible way is to go to www.pum.nl and search for the country of your potentional interest. Myselves I have a friend in Uganda working as a coordinator for some sectors in NGO Enterprise-Uganda Mrs Mary Ondongo (mkodongo@enterprise.co.ug) and she will definitely assist you for the Uganda. For other countries if you do not find directly rep I will check with nu Hag secretary and I will find it for you. Best regards.

Hi David, it woudl be great to chat to you about the Partnership and get you involved in the festival. We are keen that the festival provides a platform for positive development projects taking place. This year we are creating a development village where charities and NGOs will be exhibiting. Do drop me a mail on tom@lakeofstars.org or call on 07791 504 193. We are in our seventh year as a festival but just our first as a business so really keen to chat to others working in the field.

Hi David,
It would be interesting to know what projects you are currently engaged in to raise funds . Im all the way in South Africa where poverty is an important concern in our society, so it would be nice to know what exaclty you are doing on the otherside.

Hello David, Sorry for the late replay.

No, I'm not working with Arica.
My work is mainly in India.

Hello Friend,
I am now back in the office, I was away on sick leave.
I will excited to learn from you, I love my work and I will be very grateful for any help intended. We are into health, Water and Sanition, Education Microfinancing, leadership training and advocacy.

Hi David,
The answer is ABSOLUTELY YES! I make every effort in my teaching to connect them with the realities of people in need (beginning with our own communities). My focus is Migrations, so you can be in wealthy Germany and choose what experiences you facilitate. I have visited Turkish communities and worked with NGO's that work with recent immigrants, for example. I could tell you a lot more about Morocco, where poverty is rampant.
I believe creating awareness and working on projects that seek to relieve poverty (beginning with education!) empowers young people to commit to making a difference (most of the times). You can saw seeds. It will be up to them to choose how to live their lives.
Kind regards,
Moira

David,
sorry I did not ready your info before I responded. I am a member of a human dignity and humiliation studies network. We have been talking about developing a clothing line to support "developing" nations. I am very interested in your work and experience.

Hello David,

Thank you for contacting me. I have sent you a private message.
How and when can we best talk?

Please note that my non-profit has the mission to provide humanitarian aids in the form of Health&Wellness, Safety and Education&Training.

And just as Moira Rogers said in one of the comments here below, the fight against extreme poverty has its starting point within and around education!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello David,

I do support Caritas Europa Zero Poverty Initiative, among other projects, but they dont have a local branch in Scotland.

I am also a trustee of the Charity We Can! (Scotland) and member of the Steering Group for the Edinburgh World Justice Festival. It was through We Can! that I heard about this site, a our organisation is attended the Glasgow Conference this sunday.

Cordiales saludos desde Escocia

... Ah, I have just remembered:
If you are based in Edinburgh, there is the Poverty Alliance Scotland. They are members of the EAPN (European Anti-Poverty Network).
