Review the business plan for Yoshinkhel community in Nepal
Status: 
Step:
2
We've written a business plan which contains three projects for community development:
- Early childhood development program
- Education program for kids aged 5-10
- Skill training for women
We need a native English speaker to review our plans and to change any odd bits :-)
Dear Neighbours all,
How are you doing?
Hope everything is ok with you all.
Here I attached latest business plan for your ready reference.
Please review this business plan and suggest how it can be improved.
Thanks a lot !
Sabina
This post may be off to the topic but still related somehow. Anyway, I found out that the citigroup foundation (www.citigroupfoundation.org) is funding educational programs:
T
he Citigroup Foundation has established the following programmatic guidelines for its strategic philanthropy:
Financial Education
We support financial education because we believe access to investment products and capital can raise the quality of life for individuals and families and strengthen communities around the world. But capital must be used responsibly and wisely: a good financial education can help people make the most of their money. The Foundation provides grants for financial education programs in three areas—Personal, Small Business, and Institutional—that:
Lead to the development of assets that can help increase family stability and encourage better consumer habits
Deliver economic and financial education to young people to help them learn how to create wealth, set financial goals, and make informed financial choices
Improve how entrepreneurs save, borrow, and invest in their enterprises
Build the capacity of nonprofits by offering training in financial management
Offer university training to future leaders to increase their understanding of and ability to manage complex financial issues
Educating the Next Generation
We believe all children should have access to a high quality education that helps them acquire the knowledge and skills to find a rewarding career, manage their lives, and fully participate in society. Enhancing educational opportunities will better prepare the next generation for personal and professional success. The Foundation supports early childhood, primary, secondary, and higher education programs that:
Encourage early literacy development
Attract and support high-quality new teachers
Promote innovative teaching strategies and curricula and share best practices
Build the skills and confidence of low-performing students through academic enrichment programs both in and after school
Enhance creativity through arts education and student access to cultural institutions
Prepare students for college and the workforce
Improve access to higher education for minorities and women
Improve student and curriculum development at graduate and undergraduate business programs
Building Communities and Entrepreneurs
For more than a century, Citigroup has been part of the fabric of thousands of cities and neighborhoods around the world. With this shared history comes a special responsibility to make a difference in the communities where we live and work. Grants are made to reinforce community-led efforts to revitalize low-income neighborhoods around the world where Citigroup has a presence. The Foundation seeks to support community development corporations, intermediary organizations, and community development financial institutions that:
Develop affordable housing and community infrastructure
Encourage entrepreneurship and economic development
Strengthen microfinance institutions to assist entrepreneurs in accessing capital
Promote welfare-to-work initiatives
Boost environmentally sustainable growth of local economies
Support community-based health and human service programs
Respond to disasters in communities where Citigroup has a presence
Hello everyone,
I have completed the initial review of the business plan. I worked directly in the Word document, so it is easier to post the changes below rather than in the wiki. I will wait for feedback and more info from Sabina, before doing a final review and proofing.
I need help with the budget section. This is not my strong point. Is there a neighbour who can take a look at the financial related parts and see that they make sense and that all the necessary information is there?
Barb
Hello Everyone,
I have completed the second review of the Business Plan. Please find it attached here. We need a neighbour who is willing to review the budget.
Barb
Hello Again,
Here is the most recent version of the document. There a still a few unanswered questions, and of course, the budget.
Barb
Hi Barb. I'm having a look at the budget at the moment. Will be in touch. Thanks. Sumitra.
