"I learned to make hoppers through the project. The very next day, I started to make an income from this new skill. Customers have kept swarming in and I am happy that I can make an extra income for my children"

FAPW Membership Incentive Project
For every GBP6000 raised by the Friends of Asia Pacific WAGGGS (FAPW) from a single country group, GBP1800 (30%) of the donations will be returned to the MO of the country.
The Membership Incentive is only to support the Member Organisations where the donation is collected. If the country does not have a registered MO with WAGGGS, it will not qualify for the Membership Incentive.

- Projects contributing to the achievement of objectives in the Asia Pacific Operation Plan.
- Projects which will benefit young women of the MO.
