Background
"Sierra Leone is ranked as one of the poorest countries in the world. Within this frame of generalized poverty, women come worse off and have been found to be poorer than men. This is due to gender disparities existing with respect to access to and control of a range of assets including direct productive assets such as land and macro credit, human capital assets including education and health, etc."
We are collaborating with a project found on the GlobalGiving Foundation. The Women Empowerment for Rights and Equality (WERE) project was made to "address heightened levels of discrimination and violence against Women by enhancing advocacy and networking capacities among Women groups and promoting coordination for increased success in anti-discrimination and violence campaigns in Sierra Leone. "
The three of us girls are so blessed to have such a great education at Kamehameha Schools. Our founder, Bernice Pauahi Bishop has spoiled us with many gifts to keep our culture alive and well. We believe that education is a crucial necessity in life and should be provided to women in need. It is now important to us to give back to women that donʻt have the same opportunities as us.
