Blessing Olagundoye, Publisher of BONews shares testimonies of a grant her organisation got when all hopes seem to be lost<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two days ago, I woke up to read two rejections email, sorry, we had many applications and all those stories. I was moody and within a few minutes, I was like, Blessing, have you appreciated God enough for what He did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to thank God because BONews got a grant to implement a project on COVID-19 and Women with Disabilities, one of the key areas we work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I applied around March but didn’t get any response. It was a grantee in Nigeria that gave me a hint that I should send the proposal again which I did and they told me it was successful. They didn’t approve the total budget but we had to revise the budget to suit the funds that were approved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be honest, I wasn’t prepared for it. I didn’t inform those I dropped their names as referees, we don’t have an account number but God just did it, despite all odds and I’m certain it is going to open more opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I told my mum and said ‘money is not involved’ because the funds doesn’t cater for administrative purposes, she was like, you should be grateful because more doors will open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I checked the list of organizations they sponsor, they are big organizations working on Women’s Human Rights so, I found out that it is just God that did it. Who did it? Jesus, O My God, Waoh (RCCG members can relate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also thank God for a few partnerships that He has secured for the organization here in Nigeria. May His name alone be praised<\/p>\n\n\n\n
