Double your donation in the Big Give Christmas Challenge. Until Tuesday 7th Dec.
Dear John,
The Big Give Christmas Challenge is now OPEN.
Don’t miss the opportunity to double your donation until the challenge closes at midday next Tuesday (7th Dec). In previous years the match funding pot has run out before the closing date so best to donate early to ensure your gift is doubled!
Generously matching your donations this year is The Coles-Medlock Foundation and two longstanding individual supporters of Womankind.
Our goal for this year's challenge
For this year’s Big Give Christmas Challenge we want to secure a brighter future for 25 marginalised women in Ethiopia through skills training and work placements.
When women earn an income, they can take their future into their own hands. Reducing the risk of poverty and violence. But right now in Ethiopia, young women are TWICE as likely to be unemployed than men.
This is an opportunity for 25 young women who face multiple barriers to education and employment (even more so if they also have a disability) to get a start in life that will support themselves and their families for years to come.
Womankind partners the Center for African Women Economic Empowerment (CAWEE) have a long history of finding women at most risk of poverty and empowering them with marketable skills training. With CAWEE’s support, a woman’s life can be transformed in just a few short months. From enduring unemployment to a promising career in one of Ethiopia’s most thriving industries.
For this Big Give Christmas Challenge we're asking you - could you support a brighter future for 25 women in Ethiopia?
A reminder that gifts must be made via the Big Give website (not the Womankind website) to avail of match funding. Unfortunately, CAF donations cannot be matched.
If you have any questions about The Big Give please do not hesitate to drop us a line at [email protected].
With best wishes,
Hannah Little
Supporter Care Team Womankind Worldwide
