Black History Month 2017
Women4Resources will have a presence at the African Community Centre event on Saturday, October 28, 2017 as part of the African History Month 2017. Two trustees will be there on our stall, providing information on our project in Western Kenya, and our work in Wales.

W4R spreads the word in Yorkshire
Soroptomists’ Generous Gift
Every day’s an adventure! I finally delivered £50 to the office from the lovely Soroptomist ladies of Richmondshire. I had been there on 9th March to tell them about the wonderful work done by W4R in co-operation with Reaching Out Changing Lives in Vihiga, Kenya.
They were delighted to hear about our work and invited W4R to meet with their delegates when they come to Cardiff for their annual conference in October.
AWARDS
WOMEN4RESOURCES was awarded two United Nations Gold Star Awards.
The first for LEARNING LINKS with Swansea and Vihiga, Kenya.
The second for PARTNERSHIP LINKS between Swansea and Paynesville, Liberia.
W4R was the only group to receive two commendations in the presence of First Minister, The Rt. Hon Carwyn Jones AM and the Former Environment Minister, Jane Davidson.
The First Minister said:
“I am continually impressed by the dedication of the Wales-Africa community links groups “.
