COLLABORATION WITH NUKARI IN ECUADOR FOR FIRST FASHION SHOW |
|
|
Women of the World had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with Fundacion Nukari, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free educational and empowerment training to indigenous women in Ecuador. Executive Director and Founder of Women of the World Samira Harnish traveled to Riobamba to assist in the preparation of Nukari's 1st Fashion Show, an event aimed at celebrating indigenous culture and promoting women's empowerment. The Fashion Show was a resounding success, and WoW had the privilege of meeting many amazing indigenous women during the event. We are so proud to serve as a bridge between different communities, sharing ideas like the Fashion Show and Cultural Gala that promote women's empowerment and cultural pride. |
