Appeal For Supporting Our First NVC Project at RIOFA in Rusinga Island
Published on July 14, 2024 by Joshua Patroba

Dear Donors and Well-Wishers,

We are reaching out to you with an urgent appeal for funding to support our transformative project, the RIOFA NVC Project. Our mission to advocate for and sustain non-violent communication in the Rusinga Island community is crucial for creating a violence-free society and promoting prosperity among its residents.

Rusinga Island, located in Kenya's Lake Victoria, is facing significant challenges, including food insecurity, poverty, and environmental degradation. These issues stem from unsustainable fishing practices and a lack of effective communication and conflict resolution mechanisms within the community.

Through our NVC project, we are working tirelessly to reverse these dynamics and build a community that nurtures life-affirmation through empathetic communication, organic farming practices, and sustainable agricultural methods. By providing intensive training and awareness programs, we aim to empower community members to move from a state of crisis to stability and self-resilience.

Your support is vital in helping us achieve our goals. Your contribution will enable us to conduct training sessions, provide some opportunity for the youths explore some altanative strategies for holding mediations, dialogues,  promote NVC techniques for effective communication and conflict resolution. By supporting our project, you will be helping farmers improve their livelihoods, enhance cooperation, and build a more inclusive and resilient community on Rusinga Island.

Together, we can make a lasting impact and create a more peaceful, sustainable future for the residents of Rusinga Island. Your generosity and support will play a crucial role in transforming lives and building a better society for generations to come.

Please consider making a donation to the RIOFA NVC Project today. Your contribution will make a difference and bring hope to a community in need. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Sincerely,

THE RIOFA TEAM.
