Empower Women In The Philippines Through Divas Abroad
Donation protected
Divas Abroad is the not-for-profit pillar of DivaGirl where we travel abroad and volunteer with the local women to connect, work, play, and support them.
We are traveling to the Philippines this year to work with Kilos Pasig, which is a non-profit organization that helps provide food, shelter, and other resources for the less fortunate individuals and families in the slums of Pasig City.
We are raising $1000 to buy the following:
- Singer Heavy Duty High Speed Sewing Machine P15,000
- 1 Heavy Duty 4 Thread Edging Overlocker P16,500
- 1 Lot Handy & Sewing Tools P10,000
TOTAL: P41,500 = $737.41
And other equipment that they will need to sustain a living.
To support the ten Filipino women we'll be working with, we are hosting two fundraising events in Philadelphia, alongside this GoFundMe campaign.
Our goal is to provide them with the resources and skills through workshops and training that they need to build sustainable livelihoods, with the support of local community leaders in the Philippines.
If you can, please consider contributing. Your support will help us empower these women and create lasting change.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
The purpose of Divas Abroad is to bring a group of women together, who collectively work as a board, to provide classes, workshops, and training to educate and empower women internationally.
As a team, we create, plan, and execute the curriculum and fundraising initiatives. Divas Abroad offers a solution for women wanting to volunteer abroad, by offering a seamless, safe, and cultured trip experience that is packaged, scheduled, and delivered.
Women have the opportunity to share their knowledge, learn another culture, and attend a life-changing trip. Throughout the journey, you will transform through life-coaching and reflection sessions (personal and group) led by our expert facilitators. This is your opportunity to empower women abroad.
