The Afghanistan Midwifery Project

When I travel, I always pick up the magazine Glamour to read. In the August issue of Glamour, I read an article entitled:"I Saved Her Life With My Two Hands". Intrigued, I flipped the page and began to read. It tells the story of a soldier named Michelle Johnson who was… Continue

The Akilah Institute

This is a really unique organization. It's the first two-year college for women in Rwanda and it just opened this year in February. Their first class has 50 students, many of whom had parents killed in the genocide of 1994. 1/3 of the students are the head of their households and "86% of them have held leadership positions". It was started by Elizabeth Davis and Dave Hughes and "is an initiative of Project Akilah, a U.S.-based tax-exempt nonprofit organization, and a registered international… Continue

At 9:02pm on June 12, 2011, Holly said…: Because of your past support of Women's Empowerment in Uganda, 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 anesthesia.

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
