Profile Information
- What draws you to our cause?
- Many reasons. Since 8 years old, this country struck me. I hope that educating girls raises their self esteem, allows all to enjoy more rights, ( of course who didnt read Three cups of Tea). Im a woman that worked in the Oriental Rug business and felt gender discrimintaion...beleive in education, etc. etc.

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…

Thanks so much, Jan, for donating again to our grant account! I am so grateful. A new member joined the other day and she wrote this in response to the question, "What draws you to our cause?":
I never thought I could make enough of a difference, in my giving, with the limited amount of money I have - so this cause affords me the opportunity to change someone's life even though I'm not a millionaire and only have a small amount of resources to work with.
Your generosity is making it possible for us to keep giving grants away and for 5fers like Jodie to donate just once, join and make a meaningful contribution to the cause of fairness too.
So thank you. So much. I am truly grateful.

Hi Jan,
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 Jan, I'm Payton M a 5 for fairness intern. Now that we have ended the last grant cycle it's time to raise another $5,000 so that we can provide one for a new team. We currently have slightly under $4,000 and you can help us reach our goal by donating just $5. Women's rights are very important to me as a young girl and your $5 will contribute to bringing awareness to women's rights issues. We appreciate all you've done and continue to do! Click here to donate.
