Help students go to the United Nations CSW64

Your donation will help a diverse group of women from the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Science travel to New York, to ensure youth participation and that voices from around the world are included at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women 64  (two weeks in March 2020).

This is an amazing opportunity for us to learn more about the inner processes of the UN, to network with important international NGOs, human rights experts and politicians and to build our skillsets through the classes offered during the UNCSW64. However, this is also a pricey opportunity, as our estimative budget below shows so we need as much help as we can get to be able to make it. Please help out however you can, every donation sparks joy in our hearts.

▶ All donations, in any amount, are appreciated and receive a sincere thank you from the bottom of our hearts

▶ Donations over 50 euro receive a signed thank you note and  postcard from New York

▶ Donations over 150 euro receive an exclusive branded photo of the group in front of the UN building with your business logo

▶ Donations over 350 euro qualify for a speaking engagement or a presentation of our experience at the UN in NY for a 20-50 group of people (NRW area only) ‍‍

▶ Donations over 500 euro receive exclusive social media content in the form of photos and videos (vlogs) of our experience from the Conference.

Here is rough budget (for 7 people):
VISAs - 717 euro
Travel - 3,435 euro
Accommodation - 3570 euro
Meals - 820 euro
Personal (e.g. travel insurance) - 420 euro
Total - 8,962 euro
