In June 2021, ICUUW received a $2,800 grant from the UU Funding Program's Fund for International Unitarian Universalism in support of a project titled Kababayin-an alang sa Kalig-on Og Kabubut-on (Women for Strength and Self-Determination). The project aims to build and strengthen women’s leadership in UU congregations in the Philippines as well as create a sustainable and effective national UU women’s association. The goals will be achieved through monthly congregational visits providing a series of trainings on women’s rights and response to gender-based violence, discussions on organizational goals and objectives, and the creation of a new set of Bylaws.

The comprehensive leadership development training in Bolivia rose out of ICUUW's 2015 Gathering. The Bolivian organizing team was made up of Unitarians and liberal religious women from La Paz (the Bolivian capital) and surroundings. Project leader Calixta Choque attended ICUUW’s Gathering in Bolivia in 2015.
Leadership Development (2019-2021)
A pilot leadership training program in Bolivia – identified as a key need at ICUUW's 2015 Gathering – was implemented in 2019 thanks to the generous support of people who contributed on Faithify. The campaign raised approximately $2,500 to enable marginalized Bolivian women in District 7 of Viacha (near La Paz) to become a powerful force for change in their families and communities by building income-generating and leadership skills as well as developing capacities for long-term success.

As more and more people are being vaccinated and hospitalization numbers decline, the U.S. seems to be emerging from the limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, other parts of the world are dealing with surges in infections and deaths. We hold in our hearts the people of India especially, as the virus resurges and vaccines are in short supply.
