Many new entrepreneurs in Rwanda are women, so why is it so important to support them?
- Conflict leaves many woman and children at the helm of their households for the first time and they must find a way to support themselves and their children on their own. Entrepreneurship is one way to accomplish this.
- Reaching women means reaching children. With more income, women are likely to ensure that girls, as well as boys, receive an education. Education is the surest way to lift a country out of poverty over the long-term. By educating both sexes, the positive impact of education is that much greater.
There are many reasons to support women’s economic empowerment, but it is easier to envision than to implement. I am asking you to implement, to make your short-term (easy to make) donation for a long-term investment.
If you are interested in helping, I am looking for the following assistance:
1) Pass along the website www.rebuildingrwanda.blogs
2) Visit the blog on a regular basis to learn about the planning and execution of the trip
3) If you are interested in helping with content for the actual trip and the work we are doing, please email me.
4) Donate $40 or more (there is a donate button under my picture)
YOUR DONATION CAN AND WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
