Dear Friends and Supporters,
My name is Aaliyah, and I have dedicated nearly a decade of my life to volunteering in the charity sector. For the past two years, I have had the privilege of serving as the Chair of the Board of Trustees for a charitable organisation focused on empowering Children. Now, I am embarking on a new journey to empower and uplift women through a project close to my heart: The Abundant Woman.
As the founder of The Abundant Woman, I am deeply committed to our mission. I came to the UK as an immigrant at the age of 11. Fortunately, I had parents who helped me secure my status in the UK, providing me with the stability and opportunities to thrive. However, many women are not so fortunate, especially those fleeing difficult and dangerous situations. I understand firsthand the challenges that immigrants face, and I am passionate about providing support and resources to women in similar circumstances.
Our Key Initiatives:
1. Developing Self-Love: Workshops and coaching sessions to build confidence and self-esteem.
2. Supporting Transitional Phases: Programs to assist women during significant life changes, such as career shifts and motherhood.
3. Assisting Underprivileged Women: Providing resources, scholarships, and support to women facing financial and social barriers.
4. Creating Safe Spaces: Establishing environments where women can share their stories and seek support without fear of judgment.
5. Fostering Relationships and Building Sisterhood: Community events and networking opportunities to strengthen connections and build lasting friendships.
6. Mentoring and Coaching: Personalised guidance from experienced mentors to help women achieve their personal and professional goals.
Why We Need Your Support:
We are currently seeking to raise £150,000 to cover the following essential costs:
• Sponsorship Costs: We aim to sponsor two young women one who are currently on a student visa and the other on a post graduate visa, allowing them to continue their education and contribution to our community and society. The requirement for visa sponsorship is to employ the individuals for at least three years.
• Salary and Operational Costs: To ensure the sustainability of our programs, we need to cover salaries for dedicated staff and running costs for our activities and events.
We have already engaged a few law firms, all of which have said they can’t provide us with pro bono work, so lawyer fees are a big cost in our fundraising.
By contributing to our campaign, you will directly support women in need, enabling them to access crucial resources and opportunities for growth and empowerment.
Your donation will help us:
• Provide life-changing sponsorships for women on student visas.
• Offer workshops and coaching sessions to build self-love and confidence.
• Create safe spaces and supportive communities for women to thrive.
• Empower underprivileged women with resources and support into employment.
Future Sustainability:
In order to sustain and grow our business, we plan to engage in continuous fundraising efforts and actively seek relevant grants to assist us in expanding our reach and impact. Your support will not only help us get started but will also lay the foundation for a thriving and self-sustaining organisation.
Join Us:
Together, we can make a significant impact on the lives of women in our community. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to creating a world where women feel abundant, empowered, and supported.
Thank you for your generosity and belief in our mission. Please share our campaign with your network to help us reach our goal.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Aaliyah
Founder, The Abundant Woman
