I have just joined Women Moving Women, a national movement to change the face of women's poverty and I'd like to invite you to join too!
The face of poverty in Canada is truly a woman's face: one in seven women in Canada lives in poverty. And when women live this way, so do their children.
Women Moving Women, created by the Canadian Women's Foundation, is your chance to stand alongside these women. By donating $2500 (the average cost of a life-changing economic development program) as a one-time gift or pledged over five years, you will set in motion the powerful start to one woman's journey out of poverty.
Your donation will match one woman's determination to transform her life, by funding her participation in a program that helps her get back on her feet both financially; through skill-based training, and personally; by supporting her in other aspects of her life like building confidence, networking, and securing child care.
As Canada's only national public foundation dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls, the Canadian Women's Foundation funds the best approaches to ending women's poverty across the country and, in the last five years, has helped 1500 women onto the path out of poverty.
The need is great, but the solution is simple. Please join Women Moving Women today.
