How did you decide to start a team on 5 for Fairness for Solar Sister? Anna told Christa and I about the organization so we began researching it. We fell in love with the unique values the charity has and the way it changes so many lives for the better and at the same time makes people less reliant on others. What were the most successful posts you added to your Team page? What made them work? We posted videos of true Solar Sisters which became quite popular amongst members. I think that…See More

The word Emusoi is a maasai word which…See More

Hi, I'm Payton M. I am a 5fer intern and I am in high school. I believe that 5 For Fairness is a unique organization because it solely deals with women rights issues. Being a young girl privileged with an education I feel that it is necessary for all girls to have the same rights that I have. 5 For Fairness allows me to help give back to other young girls who don't have the same opportunities that I have.See More

Hi Payton! Thanks for joining Women LEAD's team! 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!
