I’m the co-founder of Women LEAD, one of the teams competing for the grant this month. I’d love your support to empower more than 200 young women in Nepal to become leaders in their schools and communities! Your vote would help us build the capacity of future female leaders to tackle the root causes of poverty and discrimination. Our organization strongly believes that building young women's confidence and skills is key to empowerment. Please check out our page and website to see the work that we do and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you!

- Hi Holly! My name is Madi L and I am a 5 for fairness intern. I joined 5 for fairness because women are abused around the world, and each $5 we receive will help immensely. It is time to begin the next round of voting and currently we have a little below $4,000. I just wanted to tell you how important your $5 would be. I appreciate all you have done for 5 for fairness, and I hope you continue to help. To donate click here.

Dear Holly
Thanks so much for your support and for joining here. Delighted to welcome you and want to acknowledge your commitment to wanting to end FGC.
Have a look at our pages and hopefully, we at Orchid will be in the top 5 (currently languishing in last place, but we'll do something about that, I hope!) and then able to be in with a good chance of getting $5k to the communities in West Africa who are leading this change.
My thanks again
Julia

Hi and welcome to 5 for Fairness. I'm Anna, the founder. We are very glad to have you! Right now, we're in the middle of a grant cycle, which means that we have $5000 to give away to a great organization working to make the world more fair for girls. We look forward to your help figuring out which of our Teams will get it.
You might want to start by visiting the Teams page and exploring the Teams in the running. When you find one that you like, you can click the SUPPORT button in the upper right hand corner of its Team page. This will help it win a spot in the voting round - only the 5 Teams with the most supporters advance to the voting round and a chance to win our grant. At the moment, 7 Teams are vying for 5 spots so every click of the SUPPORT button counts. You can support as many Teams as you like, but when the voting starts, you will only be able to vote for one.
We have added you to our mailing list which means you will get news about all things 5 for Fairness (we don't share our email list with anyone) as well as your email link to the ballot on June 15 when the official voting begins.
If you have any questions about anything at all, feel free to leave a comment on my page or ask it here. I promise if you have a question, other 5fers (that's what we call ourselves) will have it too!
Again, welcome. We are glad to have you!
Anna
