Dear
Supporter of Global Women Intact:
Thank
you for your support!
Many
of you have asked, "How can I help Global Women Intact
do their work?"
Here are a few of the ways:
·
Sponsor a child today through Global Women Intact
· Buy a Handicraft to Save a Clitoris, a fundraising
campaign to empower women and girls through education, information,
and alternative forms of initiation ceremonies
· Buy a clitoris shirt or a cup
Most
of the items we sell cost less than $50.00. We are desperately
seeking funds to help bring a brighter future to women and
girls in rural villages in Africa. We also appreciate if you
will please forward this message to your friends. We need
your help.
Women
and girls will benefit from your buying these unique, authentic
African handicrafts. Also, with a donation of only $10.00
a month, you can make a difference!
Thank
you for your time and attention, and for giving our organization
an opportunity for growth. For details on our programs and
more information, email
us or please check our Web site at www.celebrateclitoris.com.
The
profits from selling these items are offered as interest-free
business loans to help traditional African women support themselves
by making and selling handicrafts and clothing. The loans
are helping them establish alternate sources of income. As
part of the support Global Women Intact provides, we import
and sell these beautiful goods on their behalf. These women-owned
businesses produce crafts, necklaces, bangles, masks, statues,
and clothing.
This
new program, called Save a Clitoris, or the Village Women
Empowerment
Program, came about from meetings we had with women who perform
circumcisions in rural areas in Liberia, Senegal, Guinea,
and Sierra Leone, as an alternate way for them to support
themselves rather than through the income they received performing
circumcisions. By providing them with alternate means of support,
we allow them the freedom to choose another profession so
that they can embrace change rather than resist it.
Won't
you please help them to help themselves? Thank you. We appreciate
your support.
Sincerely,
Sia
