Abongta Moncha, Empowering Women and Promoting Education (EWAPE) Project

by | Jan 16, 2017 | What Does $1000 Do?

The Pollination Project grant has given me the opportunity to experiment new ways of tackling social change problems within rural communities. It has given a new impetus to the way women economic empowerment projects are implemented within the Bafut Subdivision in the Northwest of Cameroon.

Thanks to the grant, 100 women organized in ten groups of ten members each in the Bafut community has set new boundaries and has achieved what has not been achieved by women in a short time frame. The grant has enabled me and my team to think out of the box and have founded an enabling environment, a platform named The Abongta Fund (micro-projects for social change).

Lakshman Molleti’s work seems simple enough at first glance: he gives away earth-friendly water bowls throughout India to ensure that the millions of stray dogs, cows, monkeys, birds, and other animals have access to clean water. 

"It Began with a Water Bowl," is the movie adaptation of the book "The Journey of Bunty and Chinku,", written by Lakshman.
This story is meticulously crafted with the primary goal of inspiring, motivating, and instilling a sense of responsibility across all age groups towards community building, particularly in the often neglected realms of animal welfare and the environment.

The Pollination Project partnered with Lakshman since the very beginning of Lakshman’s project Animals Water Bowl Project Trust. 

To date, Lakshman Molleti:

🐶 distributed 5500+ water bowls
🐶 organized 120 educational events
🐶 educated 35,000 people on animal welfare both in person and online
🐶 impacted 15000+ animals /day.
