Dear friends of BEN Namibia,
We recently received the wonderful news that we are a finalist for a
prestigious Ashoka Changemaker prize for women’s empowerment.

We were short-listed from among 268 entries by a judging panel who include a
senior fellow from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the founder of
the African Women’s Development Fund, and are the only southern African
finalists.

In order to win a prize of US$5,000 (and a lot of publicity mileage) we need
to be voted in the top three places in the competition. You can help the
cause by voting at
http://www.changemakers.com/en-us/node/74065?breadcrumb_type=finalists .
Please hurry as there are only 4 days left to vote.

You can see photos of a few of the great women we have worked with over the
years, including 45 who are currently employed as bike mechanics in our
projects:

Thanks for your support!
