Why helping women helps the world!

"Girl Power" is more than a catchphrase. If you want to help reduce poverty and violence around the world donate to an organization that benefits women and girls, says Riane Eisler, a social scientist and author of "The Real Wealth of Nations". "Countries in which women have social and economic independence are more economically prosperous, more democratic and less violent. There's proof that what's good for women is good for the world." says Riane. (taken from Natural Health Magazine Kate Wertheimer). So if you want to empower women why not start with supporting local charities around you that build up women and girls?

Bad Girl Ventures

Bad Girl Ventures Think Kiva.org meets The Apprentice. First, we create a micro-lending program, where individuals can lend small amounts of money to startup companies, and seek a series of small returns. We then team that with five women (at a time) completing a six-week curriculum that will result in access to (debt) financing for their startup. Together, these ingredients create Bad Girl Ventures.
