Do you know a strong, empowered woman?

Is there some woman that has really influenced you?

Unitus has launched a new campaign about Empowering Women where you can upload photos, videos and a tribute to an important woman in your life.

What is the Unitus Empowering Women campaign?

Unitus's Empowering Women campaign is a web-based community-building and fundraising program that invites supporters to create individualized tribute pages to honor the inspiring and empowering women in their lives. Each online tribute and donation helps Unitus and its partners reach more of the word's working poor with access to basic financial services, including life-changing micro-loans of less than $100. Fully 94% of the 1.4 million micro-entrepreneurs that Unitus's microfinance partners reach are women.

For every Empowering Women tribute page you build, you let Unitus know how many women you'd like to empower in your honoree's name. For every $5 gift to Unitus, you'll help Unitus and their microfinance partners empower one woman with access to a micro-credit loan.

Details:

On your tribute pages you can upload photos, videos and personalized stories about the woman that you are honoring. You can also search through all the tributes and see who else in your city or community is an Empowering Woman. Additionally, the Empowering Women micro-site includes in-depth info on how poverty and microfinance affect women, a huge list of additional ways to get involved, a store at which you can shop for cool Empowering Women items, and individual success stories from women in developing countries discussing how microfinance has changed their lives for the better. You can also send your Empowering Woman an e-card letting her know her page is built, or Unitus will send her a card in the mail for you.
