ABOUT THE CHARITIES:
V-Day. V-Day's Spotlight this year is the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo). Stop Raping Our Greatest Resource, Power to Women and Girls in the DRC. Violence against women and girls—in the family, in a relationship, at school, on the street, in the workplace, during war—still occurs regularly in Africa, Asia and the Middle East with impunity. V-Day works to end this violence by partnering directly with women’s organizations in these regions who are working to end violence against women and girls in all its forms—changing minds, changing laws, changing lives. V-Day’s Spotlight this year is the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) http://newsite.vday.org/drcongo
OneMama. One Mama ties Uganda's communities together through sustainable health, family, and financial education in order for its people to overcome poverty and thrive. By specifically supporting the midwives at the center of these communities, OneMama empowers women, raises awareness, and makes positive change. OneMama is the nurturer, the protector, and the source of life for those in need. OneMama’s mission is to bring prosperity and health to people all over the world by empowering women as caregivers, mothers, businesswomen and agents of change for their rural communities. We are all OneMama on OneMother earth. www.OneMama.org
