Scholarship Fund in Dominica
The Scholarship Fund in Dominica has just been started. The Sustainable Living Initiative Centre“, S.L.I.C., is proud to announce the launching of the Grand Fond Pre-School Scholarship Fund. It is sponsored by Miami University, Ohio, USA and 3 Rivers Eco lodge, Rosalie, Dominica.
It is hoped that these scholarships will be the first of many scholarships awarded as the project grows.
SLIC, 3 Rivers Eco Lodge, Lifeline Ministries and Miami University are proud to facilitate another educational project with immediate and direct benefits to the local community. This is following the recent success of Computer Mission Dominica, which saw SLIC, in collaboration with http://www.nsoptimum.co.uk, the Bromsgrove School, in the U.K., and 3 Rivers Eco Lodge, facilitating the transport, training and installation of nearly 200 computers in schools around Dominica.
The Sustainable Living Initiative Centre is a Dominican NGO launched in February 2005, which now has nearly 100 members. SLIC runs training programs to enable Dominicans to install their own alternative energy equipment and help to preserve the planets resources and save money! A revolving loan fund has been set up. The loans are funded by the British High Commission in collaboration with the Roseau Cooperative Credit Union. And thus, members can borrow the cost of the equipment they need, and repay the loan from the savings on their bills.
