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

What do you think was different about your campaign for the grant this time around from your past two that made it so successful? This biggest difference this time was that it was our third cycle! We were thrilled to get over 100 votes in our first round, shocked to get over 350 the third time, and humbled that many of our supporters and well wishers came back for the third time to seal the deal. Not only did the combined efforts of all three cycles seal a win in the latest round, it has…See More

just read a fascinating article from the Daily Beast..."[Worthy] is on a singular mission: seeking justice for people who do report their rapes. She’s leading a charge to get more than 11,000 police rape kits—which contain swabs of semen, saliva, and other evidence—tested for DNA in her city, and to establish a road map for other U.S. cities to do the same. In Detroit the kits had piled up, ignored for years, in a police storage facility, until one of Worthy’s colleagues discovered them in…See More
Kearney M posted a discussion5 questions for Keren Taylor from WriteGirl!
What inspired you to begin WriteGirl?I was a singer/songwriter in New York City, and was invited to lead some songwriting workshops for high school students in NYC. I absolutely loved working with teens, and helping them get inspired about writing. That was really the inception of my commitment to working with young people. I loved seeing the light go in, in a student's eyes, when they realized they could write something that others would be interested in, and that they had many stories to tell…See More

Kearney M replied to Kearney M's discussion 'Lakshmi: influence on women's role in India?' in the group Camp VOICE"Interesting! thanks so much for your input.

Hi:
I'm Diana, 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…
