HER: Hope. Educate. Rise. is an exciting new movement to fund girls’ education.
HER supporters are harnessing their creativity and talents to find unique ways to fundraise
for HER. All funds (100%) raised go directly to supporting CAI programs.
Create for HER is one of the many ways to support CAI:
SHARING THE GOOD LIFE
PEACEFUL PAINTINGS
After working in the corporate world for
years, Kathy Gundesen decided to make a
change last year. She started Cape Haven
Designs, which sells handmade bags and
other products inspired by the outdoor
and beach life of the San Juan Islands. The
company’s tagline is “Sharing the good
life…bags that help educate girls worldwide,” and 10 percent of all bag sales are
donated to HER.
This past December, Anya McManis,
a long-time supporter of HER: Hope.
Educate. Rise. and Central Asia Institute
held an art show in her home town of
Denver, Colorado. She and her husband
Joe sold original paintings. Some of Anya’s
subjects were women and girls who have
benefited from CAI programs. The art
show had a successful turnout, and Anya
donated a generous portion of the show’s
profit to HER.
Do you have an art or craft that you can use to support HER? Join HER and paint, sew,
knit, and create your way to promoting peace through education.
If handicrafts aren’t in your wheelhouse, there are plenty of other options
to get involved with HER. Go to forHER.org to learn more.
