SAN DIEGO – The Foundation for Women, a San Diego-based non-profit working to end poverty through microfinance, has launched a new Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a powerful documentary about Liberia, West Africa, entitled HOPE. 
​
HOPE highlights the resilience and tenacity of Liberians in the face of the deadly Ebola virus that caused an unprecedented health crisis in 2014, killing more than five-thousand citizens and leaving thousands of orphans in its wake.   The disaster was layered upon the country’s existing problems of extreme poverty and fallout from a senseless civil war fourteen years earlier. ​

Support our Kickstarter campaign to raise money for "Hope: Resilience in the face of war, poverty and Ebola". This film will help raise awareness and funds for our programs. As a backer you can chose from several great gifts including handmade bracelets, Premium Microloan Blend Coffee and more. Be a part of this exciting new project - you can even get your name in the film credits!
