Smile Foundation, under its Empowering Grassroots programme, organised a Training Trajectory on Local Fundraising for eight partner organisations of Bharat Rural Livelihoods Foundation from Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, in Ranchi. This training programme helped social entrepreneurs who are working at the grassroots level, to adapt to sustainable ways of raising funds through effective communication, strong leadership and good governance thereby increasing transparency and accountability.
The initiative was aimed at helping them to gain credibility and support, in addition to encouraging them to become self-sufficient by honing their skills in identifying, accessing and mobilizing locally available resources.
