DEAR DONOR...
There are images so powerful, that the world takes notice.
We have seen devastating images of refugees taking desperate measures to escape the atrocities in their homelands: images like those of little Alan Kurdi washed up on a Turkish beach or of Afghanis trying to hang onto planes in flight.
And when they arrive in a new land, although free from the terror they fled, new challenges await. Women of the World is always here, no matter what, to serve women whose crisis has passed out of the news cycle but need help to make a new life for themselves and their families.
With the support of WoW and your generous contributions, our women are enhancing our community, making it thrive culturally and economically. This year we have:
- Helped in 700 different service and advocacy cases, resulting in $159,000 of expense savings (like healthcare and housing).
- Secured new employment for 30 women, resulting in $853,000 in annual earnings growth available to their family’s budgets.
- Even with the ongoing efforts to reduce the spread of the pandemic and maintain social distance, we have conducted over 150 hours of training both virtually and in-person, mostly English Language Learning courses for all levels of language learners.
- For every $1 invested in WoW, we produce a $2.81 return through job assistance and expense reduction in our ladies’ lives.
We do all the above on a shoestring budget with our small but mighty team of case managers.
But we cannot do it alone! Your continued support of our community is vital to the success and impact of your new neighbors. We ask that you donate whatever you can in support of these courageous and conscientious women.
Your generosity can go very, very far:
- $25 funds an application for critical service (health, housing, food assistance) completed and sent.
- $50 will provide an hour of English classes for up to 15 students.
- $100 for our Employer Partnership program is enough to help one woman find a job.
We have also been given a matching gift that can make your early contributions go even further.
And of course, a larger gift will provide all the above and so much more. If you do wish to make a substantial gift, please contact me directly. I would love to invite you to visit the “second home” we have built for displaced women and tell you more about our mission. You can donate at our secure FundHero page: https://bit.ly/WomenOfWorldUT
I want to thank you from my heart for all your kindness, and wish you Peace on Earth,
