Simply Amazing!
Together we raised $48,500 within 24 hours on April 9th. We need just $1,500 more to reach our goal! If you missed the chance earlier, now is the best time!
Thanks to your generosity on Spring2ACTion April 9th we've raise funds to support talented low-income women to start up micro-businesses and receive a wide range of support services including access to market and to capital.
Thank you for believing in our mission, for believing in women and for making dreams possible for all. |
