My Nonprofit Reviews

I have watched the women, and a few men , learn skills in the learning centers for 30 years. Sometimes the women would like to make a business of their new skills, but lack the knowledge and finances to start. The start of the Opening Doors to Opportunity project was a small grant from the Madison West Rotary to give some basic business instruction and funds to put their experience to work. After ten years, some 300 women, and a few men, have had the experience of putting their ideas into practice. It is gratifying to visit them in their homes, or just to talk with them to feel the enthusiasm and resolve they put into their work. Some have invested the earnings into improving their business. Others have used them for family and home improvements.
