Celebrating International Women's Day with the launch of the Deborah & Florence Education Fund for Girls

3/8/2018

​On this special day we want to officially announce the formation of the "Deborah & Florence Education Fund for Girls" which was birthed at the end of 2017 by a generous gift from long-time supporter and board member Janie Davis.  Janie has two grandsons for whom she is arranging funding for their education.  When we were together a few months ago, Janie expressed the desire to do something for girls as well as boys.  She provided the initial gift which the Foundation for Women matched - so we now have $2000 in the account which we hope will grow to fund not just post-high school education for Deborah and Florence, but for many, many girls.

​On this special day, I am inviting you to help us continue to offer microfinance and education support to women and girls by:
  1. Making a contribution to the Deborah & Florence Educational Fund for Girls. You can do so instantly  online by scrolling down and clicking the yellow Donate button.
  2. Acknowledging our Foundation for Women official birthday on April 23, 1998 - the day of our first public program - by making your annual 2018 gift now
  3. Sharing this message with a few in your circle of friends who may not be aware of FFW and our work​.

Globally the world celebrates International Women's Day today.  The Foundation for Women acknowledges today as it has for the last two decades.  From India to Africa to San Diego to now Liberia, we have been blessed and honored to celebrate and support more than a million women and their families all over the globe.  And there is so much more to come!
It has been an amazing and blessed journey so far.  As we embark on our third decade of service, we are committed more than ever to the knowing that we are indeed one human family, that we need to be present for and support each other.  The Foundation for Women has been a bridge between those of us in the 20% of the population that share more than 90% of the wealth and the 20% of the population that shares less than 1% of the wealth.  Please join with us today in standing with our global sisters.
With love and gratitude,
