Giving Tuesday - It's the day of generosity started back in 2012 and encourages people, worldwide, to help others by giving of their finances or time. Giving Tuesday falls each year on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It's the time of year when millions of people express their gratitude for the blessings they've received and many of them also want to share their good fortune by donating to their favorite charitable organizations. Please help us spread the word that WIL is a great option for donating to a very worthy cause.
During our 2021-2022 program year, WIL supported in excess of $50,000 in village banks and empowerment grants targeting vulnerable and marginalized women. With WIL's investment, several women in Honduras were able to take out small loans to grow or expand their businesses. A WIL grant enabled a group of women in Uganda to receive seeds and grow vegetables to sell in their markets and support their families. The money donated to WIL helps women globally put food on their tables and meet some of their basic needs.
