Vocational Training for 5,000 Women in Pakistan

Dec 9, 2015

Peace on Earth is More Than Just a Slogan

By Jodi FIscher - Executive Director

Thank you for supporting young underserved women in Pakistan to access relevant skills and to develop enterprises. With economic empowerment and greater financial literacy, livelihoods improve and conditions of poverty abate. Introducing women to opportunities equips them with the knowledge and skllls necessary to understand their options and shape their futures. Thanks to you we are nearing our goal of reaching 1,000 women in 2015 and with an enthusiastic and capable new Director of Vocational Training at the helm, we are developing additional partnerships and growing the strength of the program!

Please help us to reach our goal of raising $5,000 in the next three weeks so we can provide relevant training to an additional 200 women by 2016. For the holidays, consider asking friends and family to give to your favorite cause. Or you can give a gift in the name of someone you love, spreading holiday cheer and the gift of impact. Global Giving gladly customizes a thank you that helps the giftee understand the impact of your support in their honor. Right now Safer World Fund is also generously matching all donations up to $1,500 per person by 50%. Jana Stanfield said “I cannot do all the good that the world needs. But the world needs all the good that I can do.” We cannot change the world by ourselves, but together, anything is possible and every little bit helps. Thank you for considering us in your year-end giving.

There are many other ways to get involved, including directing proceeds for a race or physical challenge, participating in a one week poverty challenge (where you live on $2/day or less), volunteering, or joining our board. You can also help us generate awareness by joining our social media pages and sharing with your networks. If you or anyone you know would like to join our Allies In Action movement there are various ideas and activities that range from book/movie clubs, one-time or re-occuring events, and skype visits with MDF students that we can share with you. We are happy to connect at any time to talk about the myriad of possibilities to becoming engaged.
