So, Why should I?

Our fundraising efforts have always been directed toward the vulnerable women + programs assisting them. So this is pretty different, I get it!

We’ll have a time to jump back in with our women entrepreneurs, but the people most on my heart after my recent trip to Zambia has been our Staff.

I have known these women and men for over a decade. All of the women on staff completed our skills training program and showed a strong desire to share their empowerment with their friends and neighbors.

After shadowing them all week, I saw this passion played out:

Walking miles through washed out roads to reach each entrepreneur in remote parts of the city to encourage them and offer trouble-shooting advice for business hiccups.
Showing up for women in their personal crisis, from abandonment by a husband to the death of a child.
Teaching business lessons in 100+ degree heat to women in a remote village, then camping out with mosquito nets to teach again the next day

And so much more!

Our Zambia staff is championing HOPE for many Zambian women and their families. Without them, there would be no entrepreneur group. There would be no ability to distribute business grants. There would be no mentorship. There would be no CiH.

They didn’t ask for this unexpected raise.

But we have been on a mission to believe in and empower people from day 1, and I feel strongly that this is our time to love on our staff in a profound way.

So join us, friend!
