   iZōsh: Women Investing in Women    October 19, 2015  |  0

We hope you have your calendars marked for Friday night, two weeks from today, for the iZōsh event! Prepare for an evening of enlightenment, as we learn about strides being made to end female genital mutilation (FGM). And we’ll be funding micro loans — in real time — to women in extreme poverty around the world.

Atieno Fiona Kimberly_v2Speaking of women investing in women, check out this article from the Guardian about girl activists each striving to make a difference in their home communities in Africa.

The words from Atieno Fiona Kimberly, a 17 year-old student in Kenya, especially resonated with us: “FGM and early marriages should stop and Kenya would be a better place for a girl.”

Please join us to hear Margo Day speak about progress in battling FGM at our next event OCTOBER 30th at 7pm, at Huron Hills Church.

See you in two weeks!

 

To date, iZōsh Ann Arbor has granted…

609 Women a total of $219,148
in micro-loans which has grown exponentially to help individuals, families, and communities around the world.

"The women of iZōsh are making a difference in women's lives before they become vulnerable to human trafficking. As the director of the Human Trafficking Clinic in Ann Arbor, I see the "after" situation, when women are victims, and I hope that someday iZōsh can help eradicate the need for what I do."

"I was absolutely overwhelmed by the commitment of the women of iZōsh to serve others who live in poverty. I was equally touched to see teenage girls sharing this passion alongside women in their 90's. Caring for the poor connects us together in so many powerful ways, and to experience the excitement and determination of these American women who made it possible was priceless."
