Circle of Sisterhood @ Towson University
Spende geschützt
In a nutshell...
Help us raise funds to build a school in a third-world country! Educated women earn 25% more income and when women earn an income, they reinvest 90% into their families to break the cycle of poverty.
Women deserve education. Period.
"One study after another has shown that educating girls is one of the most effective ways to fight poverty. Schooling is often a precondition for girls and women to stand up against injustice, and for women to be integrated into the economy. Until women are numerate and literate, it is difficult for them to start businesses or contribute meaningfully to their economies" . Half the Sky, page 168
There’s a problem
For too many girls and women around the world, access to quality education is often limited. Two thirds of all illiterate adults in the world are female, and not even seven percent of the world’s population has a college degree. Education is an answer to many of the global issues related to women – poverty, oppression, misogyny, brutality. Ultimately, more and more educated girls will mean stronger and healthier villages, communities, and entire countries.
Here’s what we’re doing about it
The Circle of Sisterhood Foundation is a mechanism by which all sorority women can stand together across affiliation, age, color, and creed to make a difference in the lives of millions of girls and women around the world. Collectively, sorority women are one of the largest communities of college-education women in the world while not even seven percent of the world – men and women combined – has college degrees, and two thirds of all illiterate adults are women. Standing together as one community, we will give girls and women an equal chance for rewarding lives and livelihoods through schooling, the learning of a trade, or even a college degree.
You can join us
The Towson University Panhellenic Association is working to raise $75,000 in order to build a school through Circle of Sisterhood. While most of our fundraising will occur on campus and in person, we still need your help! A donation of any amount will help us reach our goal and change the lives of hundreds of women and girls around the world.
