Emusoi Centre

"Educate a boy, and you educate an individual. Educate a girl, and you educate a community." African proverb via Greg Mortensen The Emusoi Center is a place where pastoralist girls are given the chance and  the support they need to fulfill their full potentials in life--allowing them the options to choose a life beyond being "properties" for their fathers/male elders to gain dowries (e.g. cows) when they are married off when they reached puberty. The word Emusoi is a maasai word which…See More

Women LEAD

We empower young women to take leadership positions alongside men in Nepal by providing them with the skills to pursue their vision for change.Women in Nepal face overwhelming challenges: 1/3 of girls aged 15 to 19 are married and 60% of women are illiterate. Young women have the passion and vision to solve these problems, but simply lack the necessary resources. We build the capacity of future female leaders to tackle root causes of poverty and discrimination. We have equipped 200 promising…See More

Hi:
I'm Payton M, a 5fer intern, and am just dropping by to say "Thank you!" for being such a loyal and active 5fer.  It is because of members like you that we have been able to give away seven (yes, seven!) $5000 grants to organizations working to make the world fair for girls and women - and we're only a few hundred dollars away from our eighth!  We are so appreciative of the way you have put up with all our many growing pains and hope you keep on believing in our circle and the good we can do.  Thanks again…

Payton

Bon! Thank you - again! - for always being so quick to chip in more than your share whenever we need to get our grant account back up to $5000. You have been such an amazing and stalwart supporter of our circle from the very beginning. I am extra grateful to 5fers like you who have stuck with us - and kept on believing in us - as we hiked up a pretty steep learning curve!  We should be ready to give away our eighth (pretty great, right?) grant in June. Until then, and always, thank you for being part of our circle!  Anna

Hi,

My name is Payton M, I am a 5 For Fairness intern. I’m stopping by to let you know that now is the time to support your favorite team or teams to help them advance into the voting round. Seven teams are competing for five available spots in the voting round. The five teams that make it to the voting round will have a chance to win our $5000 grant, but only one team will win. The teams need your support now to make it into the voting round.  Here's how to support a Team:

First click on the Teams tab at the top of any page to see all of the teams. Click on any team that sounds interesting to you. If you like what you see and want to become a supporter, click the +Support (Team name) button in the upper right hand corner of the Team page. You can support as many Teams as you think deserve a spot in the Voting Round. Click here for more information on how to support a Team or, if you are ready to start, click here to see all the Teams.

 

Thanks for supporting 5 For Fairness, 

Payton M.
