Wonderful and meaningful action - and thank you for keeping us informed with such a readable and beautifully illustrated newsletter. All strength and support for you in this truly important work, Therese, Danielle and team!

Hammerstone School is not just a learning experience. It is an investment into your present and future that continues to give. My class time has brought both hands-on joy and confidence, both of which are things that can't have a $ figure attached to them. Don't hesitate! Get to Hammerstone and dive in! (with safely goggles on, of course...)

I gave because wedu is one of the platforms to build up my career ladder. 

YWE is exactly what I hope to see more of in the world! Empowering young women with education and resources to escape poverty and violence. Education and mentorship are really the only ways that is accomplished. 

It is estimated that there are up to 20,000 children orphaned in Gaza. Some are the sole survivors of their family, most are aged between six and ten years of age and over 5% are injured or in need of specialist medical care.

The program aims to respond to the orphan crisis on multiple fronts, from addressing immediate needs to establishing a lasting support system that orphans can rely on until they turn 18.

Donations are spent in five different ways:

Food and clothing
Healthcare
Education and vocational training
Protection and psychological support

My regular donation is re-investment in education for potential women leaders including me.

While building Every.org I chatted with Chris Blattman, a UChicago poverty/conflict researcher who designed READI Chicago, which provides men prone to commit gun violence with jobs, therapy and opportunity.

It's a high-leverage intervention - a small number of people are responsible for most gun violence, so helping them greatly benefits their communities. With the firepower of his research, the clarity of its impact, and the growing scale of the project, it's my way of helping make Chicago, my brother's home, even greater than it already is.

Growing up I had a genuine curiosity for tech and sciences, but felt it could never be a career for me. I think back and wonder if it was because I never saw someone like me in those careers or were exposed to such opportunities when I was younger. Girls Who Code is opening the door for so many girls and I am so excited for what our future holds. #womenshistorymonth
