Hi Julia,
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!

Madi L said… Hi, my name is Madi L and I'm a 5 for Fairness intern. I'm stopping by to let you know now is the perfect time to support any Teams you think deserve spots in the Voting Round. There are seven teams in the running and only five spots, so please take the time to look at all of the teams and support your favorites. Here is how you can become a Team supporter.
Go to the teams tab and look at the teams individually, and if you find one to be intriguing, click the +Support (Team name) button on the top right corner of the Team page. For more "official" instructions on how to support a Team, click here. Click here to see all of the teams in the running. We appreciate all of your help and support!
Thank you,
Madi L

- Hi Julia and welcome to 5 for Fairness! I'm Anna, the founder. Today we will be beginning our fourth grant cycle so you have joined at a great time. These are the Teams in the running so far for our next grant. If you click on a Team, you will be taken to its page, where you can learn more about it. If you feel it is worthy of your support, click the SUPPORT button in the upper right hand corner of the page. Your support will help guarantee it a spot in the Voting Round which starts June 15. The 5 Teams with the most supporters on that date move into the Voting Round and become eligible to win our grant. You can support as many Teams as you like but when we start voting, each member has only one vote! We have one new Team that is in the process of setting up its page and we'll let you know when it is up. More soon but for now....again, welcome!
Donate and vote!
To join and vote, all you need to do is donate $5 to our grant account.
