OneMama.org's Siobhan Neilland with the 50 Women Project's Jessica Buchleitner at the CSW 59 in 2016
OneMama.org and The 50 Women Project's Jessica Buchleitner hosted a parallel event, Global Funding Solutions From Social Entrepreneurs. We brought together social entrepreneurs from across the world to discuss how we will end violence against women with grassroots empowerment and creative, sustainable means of funding:
“After experience working as UN delegate last year, one of the things I realized was that a lot of talk was about the issues and not as many panels were on solutions. So OneMama.org wanted to facilitate a dialogue on solutions. We want to share the sustainable funding solutions we are implementing and other solutions being implemented by organizations and people we admire. We are excited to give a voice for women and social entrepreneurial programs across the globe combatting violence against women,” said Siobhan Neilland, OneMama.org founder.
Siobhan Neilland shared the personal tragedy that gave birth to OneMama.org. She also shared the “OneMama ecosystem,” which consists of The OneMama Collection and ShaBoom Products, two product lines Siobhan founded to fund maternal health programs in rural Ugandan communities surviving on under $1.25 a day.
Our incredible panel included impactful women creating social change through innovative means in their communities. Panelists include Regional Representative for the Secretary of Labor, Elmy Bermejo, Editor of Women News Network and 50 Women Project founder, Jessica Buchleitner, Founder of the SAMATATA Foundation, Bineta Diop, Political Activiest, New Oo, Award-Winning Producer Adryenn Ashley, and our very own Siobhan Neilland, founder of OneMama.org and Fortune 500 Consultant.
This event was held in the New York City area on March 14, 2016, Our Parallel Event, Global Funding Solutions From Social Entrepreneurs, across the street from the United Nations Campus.
