This report addresses the Mujeres Cosechando Sueños program. It had been in operation for over a year but had not yet been evaluated. Our goal was to create and implement an evaluation tool for the program, then use our findings to provide recommendations. To accomplish this goal, we conducted semi structured interviews with each member of the program and performed participant observations at workshops and meetings. Through our evaluation, we found that the program has been an overall success. However, we did discover some problem areas, such as the management, accessibility, and organization of meetings and trainings. To solve these issues, we recommended that the management seek advice from Hearts of Gold on running the program and work towards making the program more accessible to all.
