Hi Leslie,

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 Leslie,

I'm Eliza, a 5fer intern and I am here to ask you to help us get to our next $5000 grant.  We are only $1,857 away but in order to get there, we need every member to donate another $5 dollars. If we each chip in just a little, we will get there easily. To donate via Paypal, click here. Thank you for your support!

Thanks for voting, Leslie!

Hi Leslie

It's almost midnight, but there's still time to check out Team GEMS! GEMS is a fantastic organization that helps, supports, and empowers women who have experienced commercial sexual exploitation and domestic trafficking. Feel free to check out the GEMS Team page http://5forfairness.org/group/gems and if you like what you see, click the SUPPORT button in the top right hand corner

Because of your past support of The Global Fund For Women, which has not been active in this grant cycle, I am writing to ask if you would consider sharing your support with The Orchid Project.  The Orchid Projects sole aim is to end the practice of female genital cutting.  

As a woman and a mother I feel compelled to do my part to end the human rights violation that three million girls suffer each year as their genitals are cut without permission or anastasia.  

The Orchid Project works to end FGC by respectfully raising awareness of FCG, connecting individuals and local, national, and international organizations, and advocacy.  

I know Orchid would be so grateful for your support and that this $5,000 would mean a lot to their work. Please consider supporting them to get through to the next round.

Have a wonderful day and thank you for your consideration,

Holly

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:
