Raise your contribution to Secret Projects by organising a sponsored event

 16th Feb 2021 |  Contribute |  Margaret Ring


There are many ways to make a contribution to our vision of a world where all women have the confidence and resources to make choices, thrive and contribute to the strengthening of their communities. One way is to organise your own event or activity. Please read on...

We are lucky to be surrounded by a large and powerful community.  These community members often choose to ask their friends and family members to sponsor an event or activity they have organised to raise contributions towards our vision. The money contributed from these activities will be used wisely in a number of ways as follows:

Running of our 4 stage Virtual Training for Empowerment Programme

Working with existing and new Maker Community

Development of new Secret Products. The sale of Secret Products is the core driver of our mission to empower

We were delighted when one of our community, Cinnamon ran the New York Marathon to honour the life of her mother and to raise money for Secret Projects. Here is what Cinnamon had to say about her experience:

'Inge was a formidable woman who was the definition of empowerment. She left Austria at 19, raised her children as a single mother, travelled to India where she trained to become a professional yoga instructor. Incredibly creative, stylish, wise, outspoken and unique – a force to be reckoned with! Countless people have told me what an inspiration Inge was to their lives, it is clear that her intellect and spiritual awareness touched many people.

I decided to raise money for a cause that truly represents everything that we are celebrating about Inge and Secret Projects embodies it all.'

Thank you to everyone who organises their own sponsored events and also to those who support them in their efforts!
