Question: Dear Team,
I recently established a Non-profit organization and I am trying to learn writing a proposal. Recently, I was asked to submit a Grant Proposal and I have been working on it until I stumble to your website.
My organization is called Life Wells Foundation. Its objective is to improve the lives of all Ethiopians by bringing safe, clean water sources to remote villages.
My Question to you is, would you help me review my proposal? Will anyone in your group willing to volunteer to help me write a proposal?
Answer:

Hi Yaregal, and thanks for your compliment.  Unfortunately, we doo not offer a direct mentoring service that might help you review your proposal.

Since you hope to bring clean water to your countrymen, you might want to contact NGOs that operate in Ethiopia and that may have the same goal.  In addition, Rotary International supports clean water programs.  Contact a local Rotary club in your (or a nearby) city for advice and possible assistance.

Take a look at our chapters 4 and 5 for possible strategies to promote your goal.  Also, please enter "water" in our search box at the top of the page.  That will give you some leads to similar projects that have linked with CTB.

Best wishes.  Clean water is fundamental to improving public health, and we hope for your success.
