In my final quarter of my
MBA program, I have the great honor of participating in a project that uses web2.0 tools to generate awareness and financial support for fantastic charitable and non-profit projects.
My group's project is dedicated to support aspiring women in emerging countries. These are women entrepreneurs who require loans to expand their businesses or young girls from Africa who need education and safety in order to improve their lives and communities. We ask that you rally around these great causes. You can make an immense difference in the lives of these incredible women with just a little bit of effort!
What You Can Do
- 1. Buy Articles You Normally Buy At Amazon.com: We have set up an Amazon WebStore, CaringMBAs.com, where you can buy articles that you can buy at Amazon.com at the same prices. The only difference is that all of the commissions we receive go to giving scholarships to promising young girls in Mozambique.
- 2. Give Directly: GlobalGiving.com allows you to small donations to projects that matter to you. Kiva.org is a great site that allows you to contribute to small loans to entrepreneurs in emerging nations. The great part about Kiva is that your loan will be paid back; allowing you to reinvest your money in another entrepreneur! Check out our sponsored projects below or find them at CaringMBAs.com.
- 3. Let Other People Know: Make a brief blog post about our cause. Use the text above and link to our caringmbas site!
- 4. Let Us Know: If you shop at our WebStore, give directly, or simply want to let us know you support what we are doing, we ask that you let us know by leaving a comment below.
Thanks for your support. If you have any great ideas on how we can spread the message about this great cause - leave a comment.
