By hosting a dinner party, asking for
donations instead of birthday gifts, or
running a marathon, you’ll let your family
and friends know about the importance
of women’s and girls’ education, especially in these often overlooked areas.
You will be the voice for those women
and girls overseas who can’t be here to
represent themselves. Even though they
are thousands of miles away, you and
your loved ones can transform their lives
for the better.
This holiday season, consider adding
HER to your gift list and Celebrate for
HER! It’s not a trendy trinket or a bigscreen TV; it’s a gift that will matter and
make a lasting difference. All donations
made by December 31 are fully tax-deductible for 2015.
As a token of our appreciation, if you
become a founding member, we are offering you an exclusive HER journal.
Drop by drop, a river is formed.
Those words are ancient — a proverb
passed down through the generations in
Afghanistan — but they’re still true today.
Every action you take, every little bit
you do to help, every time you choose to
do something for HER, you’ll be making
an impact in the real lives of women and
girls in Central Asia. You’ll be adding
one drop, and together, just like in the
proverb explains, we can build a mighty
river that will transform and enrich life
across Central Asia.
If you’re interested in starting
something for HER to make an
impact within your community
and in Central Asia, please visit
www.forHER.org or send an email
to [email protected].
