Celebrate International Women's Day!

Presented by WomenforWomen.org

To celebrate the strength and accomplishments of women, we invite you to join a Global Teleconference March 5. Global Program Executive Director Karen Sherman and Dr. Grace Fisiy, Agribusiness Specialist, will talk about what women in our program are doing to eradicate hunger in their countries.

The global food crisis has forced 100 million people into extreme poverty causing food prices and every day necessities to double over the past year. Families are left wondering where they’ll find the next meal.

But women are fighting back. In our Commercial Integrated Farming Initiative (CIFI) they are acquiring skills that will allow them to end the food crisis forever. They will learn how to use sustainable farming practices to grow crops that can help feed their families, earn an income and move from victim to survivor.

Celebrate.
