Dear Donor,
It is our pleasure to announce that the Village Volunteers' Empowering Women Period's sanitary pad project in India, Mukti Women, won the Project Inspire People's Choice through UN Women and the Singapore Committee for UN Women. We also won the Mazars Finanical Inclusion Award for using business to empower women. We will now be able to expand to empower more women to become entrepreneurs.
Education and empowerment can change the destiny of a woman. Statistics show that limited education, career choices and vulnerability are key factors for abuse and forms of slavery. --- Your donations for pads for girls buys the pads from the women and those pads are distributed to the most vulnerable girls. 4
The timing is perfect to start a monthly subscription from November 29th through December your donaton after the fourth month will have a 200% match! For as little as $12 a month, you can equip girls with menstruation protection AND empower women who have escaped lives of abuse in the red light district.
Thank you,
Shana
